🌍 Akan Naming Ceremony: Witness the powerful, age-old ceremony where names are bestowed according to the Akan tradition. The Adinkra Group’s Naming Ceremony is rooted in the rich traditions of the Akan people of Ghana. In Akan culture, names carry deep meaning and are closely tied to one’s identity. 

🌍 Cultural Authenticity: Traditionally, names are given a day name based on the day of the week a person was born, and a birth order name reflecting their position among the children their mother has given birth to — honoring the Akan’s matrilineal heritage. In addition, names may be given that describe the circumstances of a person's birth or traits the family hopes they will embody.

📜 Cultural Insights: Learn from community elders and cultural leaders who will share stories and teachings about Ghanaian customs, family traditions, and the Akan way of life.
