Tears in a Bottle — Ghana: For Celebration by the Transatlantic Writing Project at St Nicholas Theological Seminary, Prior to Visiting Cape Coast Castle, July 2024

Abstract

These authors, TWP co-leaders, have adapted the Revd Nicole Ashwood’s unpublished Tears in a Bottle Liturgy for Trauma Transformation (with permission) for use in Ghana, for a time of prayer prior to a TWP group visit to Cape Coast Castle (July 2024).  The liturgy offers prayerful, sensitive grounding and a transatlantic focus as a way of preparing the group for the psychological, spiritual, emotional, and physical impacts of visiting this historic site of such immense horror.
