Welcome To Sankofa
Long ago, in the heart of West Africa, the Akan people of Ghana shared a timeless truth: Se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenkyiri “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” From this proverb came the word Sankofa, often depicted as a bird looking backwards while moving forward, clutching an egg in its beak. That egg? It’s the wisdom of our past the parts of ourselves, our culture, our stories, and our healing we may have left behind. The Sankofa Experience is born from this truth. It’s more than a retreat, it’s a return to ourselves, a guided walk back through memory, tradition, and sacred space to reclaim all that we are and can be.
A Journey Rooted
in Purpose 🌿
Set in the lush hills of Stony Hill, Jamaica, The Sankofa Experience invites you to reconnect with nature and the parts of your spirit that modern life may have dulled. Here, under the trees and by the river, we gather, not just to escape, but to remember.
From wellness activities like yoga and riverside meditation to soulful Rastafari drumming and fireside reasoning, every element is designed to create space for growth, healing, and community. You’ll sip fresh natural juices, eat plant-based nourishment from the earth, and, where appropriate be guided through introspective journeys supported by psilocybin, always with care, consultation, and respect.
This is a place for transformation. For creatives, artisans, healers, and seekers alike. Whether you’re coming for a river day, a camping weekend, or a deeper retreat experience, you’ll find space here to breathe, reflect, and return to what matters.
Reclaiming What’s
Been Forgotten
Sankofa is not just about looking back. It’s about bringing what we find into the now, into how we live, love, create, and serve. Through immersive experiences, intentional community, and the healing power of nature and ancestral practices, we’re building something timeless.
The Sankofa Experience is a living story, and you are invited to be part of it. Come with an open heart, leave with renewed purpose. Let’s walk this path together back to ourselves, and forward to the life we’re meant to live.
