New Orleans

A Day in the Woods

take a day for yourself — on purpose.

Sat Aug 15 · 10:00am – 4:00pm

A Studio in the Woods

13401 Patterson Rd, New Orleans, LA 70131

A full day on a sprawling, tree-lined retreat property most New Orleans locals have never been to. Moving outside in the meadow, eating together on the screened porch, having a real conversation about PCOS, and taking the kind of unstructured time that always gets pushed to later. This is a day designed to land. Women Only.

Spots available

Venue

A Studio in the Woods is a private retreat property tucked into the West Bank, surrounded by old-growth trees and open meadows. It's the kind of place that slows you down the moment you arrive. This is where your day lives.

The day’s schedule

10:00 AM

Arrival + Refreshment Bar

Arrive at the property and step onto the screened porch. Pour yourself a cold-pressed juice or an iced protein coffee, grab a bite from the continental breakfast bar, and get settled into the space.

10:45 AM

Movement in the Meadow

We will gather out in nature for a 60-minute grounding movement session led by our guest instructor. Please bring your own favorite yoga mat for this outdoor block.

11:45 AM

Communal Lunch

A shared, social lunch where we sit down together to enjoy a home-cooked Mediterranean spread. This is a space to slow down, connect, and enjoy each other's company over a great meal. (Deconstructed menu easily accommodates vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free needs).

12:30 PM

Unstructured Time

This block belongs entirely to you. Move at your own pace — walk the forest trails, find a spot to read or nap, or hang out and get to know the other women. We'll have puzzles, LEGO sets, and bracelet-beading supplies set up. This is also the perfect time to write your future-self letter.

2:00 PM

Living Room Chat: Navigating PCOS

We'll move inside the air-conditioned Main House for an intentional conversation with medical professionals. No stuffy panels or scripted Q&As — just a real, supportive discussion about the everyday challenges of living with PCOS and how to work towards your personal wellness goals.

3:00 PM

Community Service Give-Back

A dedicated hour to give back to A Studio in the Woods as a thank-you for opening their private grounds to our community. We'll participate in a hands-on stewardship project alongside their team — light land maintenance or organizing their library resources.

3:45 PM

Closing Circle

We'll gather one last time to seal our future-self letters into their Kraft envelopes and close out our day together. The CREEW team will hold your sealed envelope and drop it in the mail in three months as a gentle reminder of the space you took for yourself.

What you’ll take home

Before you go

What should I wear?

Dress comfortably for an outdoor movement session — think breathable activewear or athleisure you can move in. We recommend bringing a change of clothes if you'd like to freshen up for the rest of the day. And don't forget your yoga mat.

What's included in the ticket price?

Your ticket covers the full day — the movement session with our guest instructor, a communal Mediterranean lunch, all activities during unstructured time (puzzles, bracelet-beading, and more), the Living Room Chat, and your future-self letter and envelope. All you need to bring is yourself and a yoga mat.

What if I don't know anyone?

That's exactly why we're here. This experience is designed for women who show up solo and leave with plans. The day is structured to make connection feel natural — no awkward icebreakers, just good people and a good environment.

How do I get there?

A Studio in the Woods is on the West Bank, right along the River Road at 13401 Patterson Rd. Here's roughly how far you are:

From Mid-City — about 16 miles via US-90

From Metairie — about 19 miles via US-90

From New Orleans East — about 24 miles via I-10 and the Crescent City Connection.

For a more scenic route, you can drive to the Chalmette Ferry terminal and cross to the West Bank — from there it's about 10 miles along Patterson Rd to the property. Check ferry availability before you go.

Full address and parking details will be in your confirmation email.

What's the refund policy?

Refunds are available within 7 days of purchase. After that, tickets are non-refundable but transferable — just reach out to us and we'll help you sort it.
