Elder Malidoma SoméJanuary 30, 1956 - December 9, 2021 Titíulo Medicine Man Diviner Healer Author Teacher Friend Grandson Son Brother Father Husband Elder Patrice Malidoma Somé January 30, 1956 - December 9, 2021 Elder Malidoma completed his most recent Initiation on Thursday, December 9th, 2021. During the final 3 months, Elder Malidoma moved forward as the Warrior that he is as he faced many unknown territories. I was blessed to be by his side during this time, hold witness and offer support as he journeyed forward. While negotiating the teachings and circumstances of this intense upgrade and initiatory process- he was adamant that he would continue to meet with his students in person for as long as he was able.....and he did so. In the midst of his traversing the multi-dimensions for healing, he also traveled to Colorado and to Asheville for many programs between his appointments and rituals. What an inspiration he will always be.....Living his Medicine. During this past few months he deployed an attack unlike any other- against the forces of adversity -and softened into what he has called his "new dispensation".Elder Malidoma will soon be returning to Dano, Burkina Faso where he will receive the traditional funeral rites of his tribe. Here in the USA, a Ritual Day-long Gathering will be held in honor of Elder Malidoma in the Springtime, 2022. If you are interested in more information about this, please contact info@Malidoma.comand we will be sure to keep you up to date about these unfolding plans. At this juncture, the family does not wish to be contacted directly- although emails are welcome at the office email address and will be shared with his family. Cards for the family may also be mailed to the office at: Ancestral Events, 45 Wells Valley Drive, Leicester, NC 28748 In lieu of flowers, his daughters are open to and grateful to receive monetary support to assist with the expenses to transport their Dad, Elder Malidoma to his Homeland ~ Mother Africa: Dano, Burkina Faso - where he will be honored as the Elder that he is- in his village and receive the traditional funeral rites. Elder Theresa Sykes Brittany and Elder Robert Walker are working closely with Elder Malidoma's children to insure that their father will return home and that the expenses and logistics of this are being taken care of. Donations will also support his two daughters in paying their Dad's medical expenses and other expenses that have been created during this time of their caring for their Dad.
