african soul drumming & dance camp - april 23 to 25


(Anzac Weekend)


Come and join African Soul for an unforgettable weekend of rich Ghanaian
rhythms, exuberant dances and songs, and delicious traditional food. This Anzac Day weekend, immerse your body and soul in true West African culture with up to



6 hours of drumming per day led by Ghanaian Master Drummer, Bortier Okoe. Experience the explosive energy of dynamic dance instructor Aflah Hammond and tantalise your taste buds with traditional Ghanaian cuisine, hand prepared for you by Mama Ayikai.

Pitch your tent next to the serene Crystal Lake or make yourself comfortable in the onsite dormitories. Experience a holistic weekend, with early morning yoga to relax and de-stress, free time for canoeing and tennis and fully catered feasts of delicious healthy Ghanain food.
