Taste of Ghana
Come and join us for a very UNIQUE experience: 10 days from the North to the South of Ghana. In collaboration with @livetolearn_learntolive will bring you to the depth of amazing Natural Food Processing, Indigenous Knowledge, and Self-Sustainable Living.

It is a collaboration with Joshua Asiedu, on a mission to heal the Earth and therefore ourselves, by living self-sustainably within an eco/indigenous system. Joshua’s aim with Asaase Yaa in Mankrong Eastern Region is to retrace and preserve ancient indigenous wisdom and knowledge of sustainability such as natural building, organic farming, herbal medicine, pottery, food processing, and other indigenous artisanship that were inherently based on self-sustainability and independence.
