Learn why you are here in this world and deepen the relationship with your gift and purpose.

In these five recorded classes, the late shaman Malidoma Some shared his indigenous wisdom. In Dagara culture each person comes into this world with, and as a gift. The purpose of life is to deliver the gift using a style that is personal to maximize elegance, ease and beauty. This means that your gift makes life purposeful.

Course Description

Write your awesome label here.
In the indigenous Dagara culture it is believed that each person comes into this world with, and as, a gift. The purpose of one’s life is to deliver the Gift using a style that is personal and unique to the person carrying it.

This course intends to empower you as you bring forth your gift into the world. It offers practical guidance to help you recognize and acknowledge it, and embody it in a style that is consistently authentic with who you are.

The course contextualises Gift and Purpose within cosmology and mythology as a means to define it for everyone. Including those who already have an idea of their gift, but don’t feel completely sure; as well as those who feel they have no clue what their Gift or Purpose might be.

The African Wisdom traditions offer deeply significant insights for practical living in the western world, and have many correlations with Jungian psychology. Carl Jung could be regarded as a western medicine man who had a worldview similar to most indigenous healing traditions. Collective unconscious would, for example, be a synonym for the Other World.

Just like individuation is the manifestation and realization of the Self, in Malidoma Some’s tradition the manifestation of one’s gift in the community is the realization of one’s purpose.
