Nurse Lois's Ghana Heritage Retreat— October 2026


Over eight transformative days, you'll move through Ghana the way it deserves to be experienced — slowly, intentionally, and with your whole heart open. From the moment your Guest Experience Curator greets you at the airport to the final farewell dinner lit by live music, every detail has been designed to connect you to the culture, the history, and the people of this remarkable country.
Receive your Ghanaian name in an intimate village Rebirth Ceremony. Stand in solemn reflection at the Cape Coast Castle's Door of No Return. Learn to drum, dance, and craft chocolate from cacao — then chase waterfalls in the Eastern Region hills. Thrill-seekers can rock climb and quad-bike through Shai Hills, while those craving stillness will find it drifting along Lake Volta at sunset.
Between the guided experiences, the days breathe. There's time for spa treatments, designer pop-ups, beachfront sundowners, and the kind of long lunches where real conversations happen.
October 01st- October 08th, 2026
