The Big Easy Retreat
September 23-28, 2026 | New Orleans, LA
Fall into New Orleans…
Some of my favorite memories are from New Orleans — the city, the people, the music, the FOOD, the dance between “Les bon temps rouler” and the mystical veil of voodoo and magic that pulse through the streets.
Join me here and be immersed into an experience cultivated by me — a part-time denizen, and all-time enthusiast of this magical place.
We’ll eat, play, explore, and enjoy experiences specifically designed and customized for our group — tarot, talks, tours, and more — beyond the tourist traps of the French Quarter and surrounding areas.
The Retreat House
September is a season of harvest, of celebrating abundance, and of preparing for the fallow months to come. When I think about abundance, I automatically think of the friendships and experiences that make my life rich.
That’s why this house spoke to me.
Spacious enough to house several guests, cozy enough to lounge together in small or large groups, and packed with amenities to make our “home” in NOLA a destination worth traveling to all on it’s own, this property will be our hub throughout the retreat to connect, relax, play, and rest up as the adventures unfold.

Food, drink, soak in the spiritual energy and spirit of New Orleans. Incredible food, drink, architecture and notice the dichotomies: the city of the dead is so full of life. Notice the unhoused next to the opulent.

Experiences and Highlighted Itinerary
Hi. I’m Michelle, Your Host
We all have multiple aspects of our identities and I’ve found that many of us - myself included - are reconciling who we are in relationship to a world that is set up to box us into societal norms.
Simply put, I’m here for humans who are evolving their identities and want to be more of who they are, and less of who the world expects them to be. I’ve hosted numerous workshops, retreats, and sessions to help people let go, embrace who they are, and make meaningful progress.
All of my clients - whether they come to me for tarot readings, mindset and life coaching, or for brand storytelling and strategy - seek to see themselves & be themselves. We spend time rediscovering in order to reclaim purpose, gain clarity on vision, learn the tools to access and voice our identities, and cultivate the courage & confidence to show up peacefully and joyfully without masks.

This is For You If:
You’ve been on Co-Star or Pattern looking for external answers, but know that you also need to spend time inside.
You want to understand how tarot, energy work, and meditative tools can help you access yourself & be incorporated into your daily life.
You’ve been neglecting yourself and it’s starting to show in your daily activities: doomscrolling, pushing-through, lethargy, or denial.
You know, deep down, you want to really care for yourself & be supported.
You want to stop feeling angsty, unsettled, distracted, frustrated, rushed, uninspired, blah, exhausted, and feel more free & open.
*Probably not for you if you don’t believe in self-work, exploring inner wisdom, or investing in a retreat to deepen your practice & understand how to access & be yourself.
Spend the Day at Gretna Hollow Retreat Home
In a small town near a large river sits Gretna Hollow, a place of respite and magic. Located in the heart of Irvington (near Kilmarnock, Weems, Whitestone & The Tides Inn), this lovely place is perfect to rest, reconnect, explore, and escape.
“The home is truly magical. Once you turn into the driveway, it feels like your own private world.”
See You SOON!
