THE MOTHERLAND
AWAITS YOUR RETURN
Are you ready to embark on a life-changing experience that will awaken your soul and help you see Africa in a new light? Join us in Ghana and let's go back to our roots together!
"I have discovered in my travels to Ghana over the past two decades that communing with the Motherland is richest when enjoyed with family and dear friends. As a community returning to the land we were never expected to revisit—whether you are traveling with your tribe or solo—for each of us, it certainly will be a phenomenal Homecoming unlike none other."
