HYL. Ancestral Trauma in Ghana
The Fall Ghana Experience
Many spiritual traditions teach that certain life experiences can follow us from one life to the next. In more recent years, science has confirmed that trauma can also be passed down through our cells—generation to generation.
In light of this, from September 28 – October 4, HYL. partners with Stretch to Wynn for a transformative 7-Day Fall Ghana Retreat.
Together, we’ll step away from distractions, gain powerful breakthroughs, and return with elevated mindsets, renewed energy, and blueprints for sustainable success.
7-Day Retreat:
The Full Immersion & Expansion Experience
- Daily Meditation & Breathwork – Start each day with powerful mindfulness practices designed to enhance clarity, focus, and inner peace.
- STRETCH to Wynn Deep-Dive Coursework – A transformational journey of mindset shifts, strategic breakthroughs, and success-building frameworks to help you step fully into your next level.

- Effortless On-Site Transportation – Private transportation to all excursions, so you can stay present and fully engaged in the experience.
- Exclusive Success Gift – A carefully selected luxury item to support your reflection, creativity, and personal transformation long after the retreat ends.
More on Ancestral Trauma
Ancestral trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, and even physiological wounds passed down through generations. In the African Diaspora, this includes the impact of slavery, colonialism, and systemic oppression—what Dr. Joy DeGruy has named Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. These unhealed traumas can manifest in our bodies as chronic stress, in our relationships as distrust or emotional disconnection, and in our minds as limiting beliefs about our worth or safety in the world.
At HYL., we believe that healing these inherited wounds is not only possible but sacred. This retreat offers space to gently explore the stories, patterns, and energies we've inherited—and begin to transform them. Through breathwork, sound healing, communal rituals, and a deep reconnection with the land of Ghana, participants are invited into both remembrance and release. We do this all in the context of striving to thrive, rising to a sustainable blueprint for sucess with Stretch to Wynn.
