Benin, West Africa

Join Us in Discovery

We invite you to join us for a nine day tranformative journey to Benin, West Africa, July 2026.

This all-inclusive trip with two facilitators  will introduce you to a variety of cultural experiences, food, music, and history. Part of our trip will take place in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin and the other part in Ouidah, a city that was the heart of the Atlantic slave trade and also serves as the center for the indigenous practice of vodoun.

We recognize that a trip like this will elicit different emotions and reactions from different people. At the core of what we do, we believe that tangible experience leads to transformation and on this particular trip, we hope to give people a chance to reconnect to roots and walk in the footsteps of their ancestors, who may have been those who were stolen from the land or those who stole from the land.

These experiences can be deep, meaningful, freeing, and heavy. As such, we will include regular opportunities for participants to dialogue as a group as well as opportunities for different racial/ethnic identities to meet in affinity groups. We recognize that the experiences of those in the African diaspora may differ from those who are white and it is important that all particpants have a chance to reflect and hold space for one another.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to travel, explore, discover and transform!
