A Ghanaian concept, the word is expanded into the proverb “se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi.”
Sankofa is the understanding that only by knowing your (personal, cultural, national) history can you know your current self, and know how to become better.
The concept feels particularly relevant right now.

shortsarahrose I‘ve heard this used in meditation practices before. Like you pick something you want to get out of your practice as a sankofa, say it a few times, and then let it go. 9h
