SEPTEMBER 2025 Wellness Resources
The concept of Sankofa, which comes from the Akan people of West Africa, reminds us of the importance and value of sourcing wisdom from the deep and vast well of ancestral knowledge available to us if we seek it. One of the best ways we can demonstrate gratitude for all we inherit from our ancestors is by paying forward the investment in those who come behind us.
In a fast-paced and ever-changing world ruled by digital technology and the immediacy that comes with it, we don’t always remember to slow down and look to the past as a resource. But when we do, we can see that rarely if ever are we the first to experience whatever challenges lie before us. Our ancestors left behind all sorts of literature and other resources that can help us find our way through difficult moments, and our living elders so often make themselves available to provide insights they’ve acquired along their own journeys. As you head into September, consider the ways in which you tap into sources of wisdom and how you might return the favor by sharing your wisdom with others.
