Ghana Soul Care Retreat

Ghana through a more reflective lens

Ghana paid

A doctoral field trip became the seed of this annual Ghana journey. After years of traveling there for work, the founder organized a 2022 trip for doctoral students, then began welcoming a wider circle of guests; by 2026, they expect to make their twelfth visit. The emphasis is less on a conventional meditation curriculum than on soul care through cultural encounters, guided exploration, and space to reflect. It suits travelers who want context and companionship as they experience a new place, rather than a silent retreat or a tightly defined sitting practice. The itinerary starts with a JFK departure on October 12, reaches Kotoka International Airport in Accra on October 13, and returns from Accra to JFK on October 23. Practical comforts include air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi, a pool, and tour assistance. Vegetarian, pescetarian, and meat-inclusive options are noted, though the daily rhythm is not a formal meditation schedule.
