Ghana 2025: Our Journey
A Look Back · October 2–12, 2025
Accra · Kakum · Kumasi · Cape Coast & Elmina
In October 2025 we led our first group journey to Ghana. Over ten days we moved from the energy of Accra to the rainforest at Kakum, into the Asante heartland of Kumasi, and down to the Atlantic coast. It was a homecoming to Ghana’s history, culture, and healing traditions.
Where We Went
- Accra: We visited the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre for Pan-African Culture, and the University of Ghana.
- Kakum National Park: We explored one of West Africa’s remaining rainforests.
- Kumasi: We spent time in the Asante craft villages and learned royal history at Manhyia Palace and the Prempeh II Jubilee Museum.
- Cape Coast & Elmina: We walked through the slave dungeons and paused for reflection at the Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River.
What We Experienced
- A drum and dance workshop
- A traditional African naming ceremony
- Markets, hair braiding, and a spa day to rest and restore
