Has anyone experienced the ritual of Fihavanana. Fihavanana is a Malagasy word encompassing the Malagasy concept of kinship, friendship, goodwill between beings, both physical and spiritual. The literal translation is difficult to capture, as the Malagasy culture applies the concept in unique ways. Its origin is havana, meaning kin.
It is one thing to be on the outside looking in but I am now on the inside of this Fihavanana and is not complete as this is a long process which I am learning about- so far well worth the journey.
