Naming Ceremony experience performed by the Queen Mother. Naming ceremony is a special and symbolic experience that allows participants to connect with local traditions and culture. Known as "Outdooring" in some ethnic groups, particularly among the Akan, this ceremony celebrates the naming of an individual, marking their introduction to the community and the ancestors. It’s an opportunity to receive a traditional Ghanaian name, often based on the day of the week they were born (following the Akan tradition). The ceremony typically involves prayers, the pouring of libation to honour the ancestors, and blessings from elders. It may also include drumming, dancing, and a communal meal. Participating in this rite as a foreigner not only provides a deep cultural immersion but also signifies respect for Ghanaian traditions, fostering a meaningful connection between the visitor and the local community. The new name symbolises their place within the Ghanaian culture and heritage.
