Sankofa Journey 2025

🌿 Sankofa Journey 2025

Looking back, to move forward.

🗓️ 10th – 22nd December
Online journaling journey with 3 connection circles on Zoom

✨ Why look back to move forward?

Because what we don’t digest, we carry.

Sankofa reminds us to go back and fetch what we forgot —
the wisdom, the ache, the gratitude — so we can step into the new year lighter and more whole.

When we come together in a circle to write, reflect, and witness each other, something alchemical happens.
Stories soften. Insights surface.
The past begins to loosen its hold, and we can receive it as strength.

This is the magic of Sankofa — retrieving what was left behind,
so we can walk forward with more truth, clarity, and grace.

🪶 The Practice

Over 14 days, you’ll be guided through a reflective writing process inspired by
The Artist’s Way (Julia Cameron).
Each day you’ll write three pages — free, unfiltered, alive.
From those pages, you’ll distill a paragraph, then a single sentence — your guiding thread for 2026.

We’ll meet for three live Zoom circles to share, connect, and deepen the process together:
🕖 10th, 17th & 22nd December

9 am Pacific time/ 6 pm South African time ( 75 min sessions)
(Approx. 75 minutes each)

This practice is a sacred pause — a way to reflect, digest, and retrieve the hidden wisdom of the year gone by.
When we gather, a quiet magic happens — we help each other to remember through our stories and experiences.

🌍 Meaning of Sankofa

Sankofa is a Ghanaian word and Adinkra symbol of a bird flying forward while looking back.
It means “to go back and fetch it.”

It invites us to reclaim what was lost or forgotten — the experiences, lessons, and inner truths that allow us
to step into the future with greater wholeness and self-awareness.
