PROFILE

Greetings and welcome to my blog page

'BACK TO OUR ROOTS.

I am a proud Ghanaian who was blessed with the name Naa Dzamah Pobee, but my friends call me Sister E.

This is a platform dedicated to grass-roots origins inspired by Culture and Traditions, Holistic Well-being, Mother Earth, Soul & Spirituality. We have gained knowledge and wisdom, but if it is not shared, then where is the love -

So 'BACK TO OUR ROOTS' was born.

The Vodun Festival takes place every January in Ou

The Vodun Festival takes place every January in Ouidah, Benin. It's a celebration of voodooism, religion and cult.
.
Zangbeto is a Fon spirit covered in grass attire called Zanho (the house of night), a term used to mean 'guardians of the night'. .
The continuous spinning and shuffling movement represent spiritual cleansing of the village. Believed to also perform acts of magic whilst in a trance.
.
Whilst watching there is some curiosity, but seeing the villages bewildered is entertaining also.

Many people in January make New Years resolution, but I prefer to make mine via a Vision Board.
.
Making a Vsion Board is the easiest and fun task of a goal. Take small steps, dont be afraid to ask for directions as the road can be a long or lonely journey. .

My 2020 Vision represents Discovery in the form of travel whether local or around the African continent. What should I add to bucket list?
.
Can you touch, taste, smell and see your Vision?

Dis Be Ghana.
.
On reflection day we each anonymously wrote a statement of our overall Ghana experience - suggested by guest Kim Sheldon. Back in the UK she organised them into a poem called 'SEE GHANA'. But with a Dis Be Ghana twist.
.
When unable to answer a query our response was - 'Dis Be Ghana'. Made us smile and we kept it moving.

Do you use a phrase to explain the unexplainable?

Enjoy the poem - SEE GHANA. .

Ghana Cultural Experience: Day 11 – REFLECTION.

Ghana Cultural Experience: Day 11 – REFLECTION.
.
They came, saw and conquered 11 days around several regions of Ghana. On the last day we reflected on the many laughs, tears, experiences, culture, delights, travels and discovery
.
But the journey continues – I did not say goodbye – I said farewell, go and come. .

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 10 – SIP & PAI

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 10 - SIP & PAINT
.
An exciting workshop to express their journey/experience in art form painting a Calabash bowl - whilst sipping on fresh pineapple juice and Sobolo. (A drink made from Sorrel leaves).
.
I have always wanted to run a Sip & Paint workshop. It was fun in the sun and I was impressed with the finished artwork. .

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 9 – CHILLIN

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 9 – CHILLIN
.
What more can you ask for on a Sunday afternoon - on a nice boat cruising down the Volta Lake relaxing to cool music, scenic views, cold drinks and great company
.
We took the boat from Royal Senchi in Akosombo but mostly preferred to chop lunch at Afrikiko Riverfront Resort – a regular annual spot.
.
Did you know the Volta Lake is the largest by surface area - manmade reservoir in the world.

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 8
FORWARD EVER

Ghana Cultural Experience 2019: Day 8
FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER.
.
If you have not read any of Dr Kwame Nkrumah books then a visit to the Mausoleum park in Accra is a must.
.
Forward Ever, Backward Never - CPP political campaign slogan which I have used many times
.
Do you have a slogan/motto?

ABURI BOTANICAL GARDENS.
We thereafter took a 80min drive to Aburi Botanical Gardens. I am always intrigued by being surrounded by natures pleasures and learning about medicinal benefits.
.
Whats in your first aid kit?
