Lina's Ghana Heritage Experience - November 2026
Come Home to Ghana.
Join me on a 9-day immersion into the soul of a place that has always been part of you. From the moment you land in Accra to the final farewell dinner, every experience is intentionally crafted to connect you to Ghana's living culture, layered history, and extraordinary people.
Receive a Ghanaian name in a moving Rebirth ceremony. Walk through the doors of Cape Coast Castle and bear witness to history. Create with your hands — batik, drumming, chocolate-making — guided by master artisans. Adventure through Shai Hills, cruise Lake Volta at sunset, and chase waterfalls in the Eastern hills.
Between the meaningful and the magical, you'll find space to rest, reflect, and simply be.
