Cultural Service Learning & Wellness

1 

Ghana, West Africa

OBey Foundation partners with Harmony Health Therapeutics Services to create a Global Healing initiative. IAB Consulting coordinates with committed participants on an all-inclusive 2-week journey that begins the day an application is submitted. This journey focuses on facilitated discussion around communal culture, bias, cultural humility, and difference. We spend most of our time at Ocean Breeze Wellness Retreat [OBWR].  OBHWR is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and the equivalent of a non-profit in Ghana, West Africa, specifically in the Central Region. As our family property, we host cultural service learning and wellness retreats to offer a culturally humble experience for our guests. This is not a tourist destination. You can join a public group by checking out what's scheduled to the left. We also welcome opportunities to offer a space for healing and wellness for private groups. To be considered, one must request a group booking. Private groups can be scheduled with 2 or more participants and ask 1 or 2 hosts for the duration of the trip. A solo journey can be requested with a Solo fee assessed. Request here!

Havana, Cuba 

IAB Consulting coordinates a multiple-night experience in Havana, Cuba. Many of these experiences introduce guests to Afro-Cuban spiritual practices, music, and culture. This is not an all-inclusive land package. It requires cultural humility and openness to learn about differences in culture, politics, and economy. These can be requested for private groups with 4 or more participants. Otherwise, you can request to join our next scheduled trip here.  **We are accepting private groups for Cuba! Request Here!

Stay tuned for additional dates.

Changing the Narrative Healing Retreat

The Kwest of Kujichagulia 

Kujichagulia is a Swahili term that means "self-determination." It reminds us that we are the ones to define ourselves. This experience uses a therapeutic process through storytelling. Participants engage in a transformative experience through the healing power of writing, drawing, sound, or movement to release unhelpful stories from the body. This is a Five-week residency that engages participants in meditation, movement, prompts, reflection, and creating! This program helps participants to redefine who they are rather than defining themselves through their pain. This is for groups. Each session lasts between 45 min - 90 min based on the group size and age of participants. Now, booking for March 2025 and later. Book your Kwest here!

I am Because We are Healing Retreat

This powerful and restorative retreat is a sacred space for Men and Women of African descent to come together in the spirit of Ubuntu—I am Because We Are—to begin or deepen the journey of healing. Grounded in ancestral wisdom and collective resilience, this retreat invites participants to examine and heal the fractures in our relationships, families, and communities caused by historical and internalized racism, colonialism, and oppression.

Through dialogue, reflection, storytelling, ritual, and nature-based practices, we will explore how generational trauma has shaped our beliefs, behaviors, and interactions with ourselves and one another. Together, we will create space for grief, release, and repair—honoring the sacredness of our shared lineage and the transformative potential it holds. This retreat offers a path back to wholeness, rooted in love, accountability, and the liberating power of collective healing.
