Ring make-and-take with local artist
We'll get comfortable in our studio barn/workshop area, where you'll grab a glass of homemade wine from our organic orchard, wildcrafted herbal tea, and/or fruit-infused spring water from our bar before we get started. Once everyone is settled with a beverage, I'll do a quick demonstration to show you the techniques and procedures for making several different styles of rings. Then you'll get busy working hands-on with different tools and materials to create your own custom, unique ring exactly to your liking. I can provide as much support as necessary to help you to feel comfortable with the process and to create your desired outcome. We'll seal/finish your ring if necessary and you'll take it home with you at the end of the session. For those who are interested, you will also have an opportunity to tour our urban homestead and be immersed in the many endeavors we have going. Other things to note: -We have free-range chickens and 2 outdoor farm cats. All are friendly. :) -If you aren't seeing the date or time you'd like available on the calendar, feel free to send me a message and we'll try to work something out if possible! -In order to maintain the very intimate nature of this experience and the value for all guests, we typically do not allow non-participating onlookers. Please ensure you book a slot for all members of your party so we can be adequately prepared for you.

Frenchmen Street Live Music Pub Crawl
Get ready to PARTY!! This 3-hour private tour includes drinks, and will take you beyond Bourbon Street to the music clubs, and cocktail bars of Frenchmen Street, the live music capital of New Orleans. Frenchmen Street has been featured in many films and shows such as HBO's Treme, The Simpsons, and the hit movie Girl's Trip. Drake also shot a large portion of his video for 'In My Feelings' on Frenchmen Street. Do this experience your 1st night!! You'll have a local Jazz musician as your party guide. We will take you to hear the best live music at Frenchmen Street's hottest clubs. You'll hear New Orleans music history, ghost stories, and tales of musical New Orleans from 1718-until now. At each venue, we will take the time to listen and dance to live bands. At our first bar, you will be given a choice of a premium Louisiana cocktail, such as a "Hurricane". You’ll dance the night away and experience the Frenchmen Street scene. We'll definitely get to meet some new friends too! You will have access to VIP Sections at clubs and VIP DRINK SPECIALS.

Spirits - The Cocktail And Ghost Crawl
I found my success as a guide, with a belief that the best tours are craft, even a bit of art. Let me help you connect with the great city of New Orleans, by sharing tales of old and examining its drinking legacy. We’ll walk cobbled alleys, and listen to ghost stories as classic as the libations you'll be sipping upon. I've created an evening of documented ghosts, city history, drinking yarns, and Voodoo. I'll tie it all together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show. Yet, there will be no capes, no blurry photos, and no vampire tales - fabricated to suck the blood from your wallet. I use stories that are historically sourced – which makes this tour far more frightening. By using actual stories, from the cultures that created this city, you will begin to unravel what makes New Orleans so special. This event is an alternative to the stock NOLA ghost tour or haunted pub crawl, you've been endlessly scrolling through. The tour is designed for the curious, people who wish to understand the places they visit and share drinks with fellow travelers. Don't confuse this with the party-crawls. This is a professional drinking event - a genuinely full tour. Drinks are extra & not required : Size 15
Streets of Sin Tour - Dark History / True Crime Experience
This is a tour for adults only (17+). Streets of Sin doesn't pull punches on the grim and gory details of the stories you'll hear. This tour explores the disturbing secrets and truths about New Orleans, going back to the founding of the colony. The city’s sinister energy is buried deep inside every brick, nail, piece of steel and wood that makes up what is known as the Streets of Sin. On any given night you may hear stories about Notorious Sex Workers, Mafia, Love Gone Wrong, Wicked Fires, Conspiracy, Human Torture and Twisted Murder...the stories are always evolving. This experience will immerse you into the deep Sin of New Orleans on levels no movie, podcast or other tour could ever imagine. Leave behind all the partying and music for a bit and join us on the “Empire of Sin/Way of the Wicked Walking Tour.”​ **The 9am "Coffee with Killers" experience includes a coffee stop. Your choice of Coffee/Tea/Hot Chocolate included.** The tour covers approximately a mile of distance over 1.5 hours, but you won't be counting steps. There will be no less than seven stops of haunted sites and former crime scenes. These stories are unlike any other tour for the simple fact that we dive deep into the specific details of some of the goriest stories New Orleans has to offer. Which is why this is an adult only experience. If you want a PG-13 experience with kids, my tour is not for you.

History and Mystery New Orleans After Dark
I’m an enthusiastic local that enjoys nothing more than bragging on my city. It is my sincere hope that you leave New Orleans loving it as much as I do. You’ll be treated to a one hour haunted tour around the famous French Quarter with a little local lagniappe scattered in for good measure. I’ll share the History of some haunted spaces, along with your ghost story, all while pointing out the best places to eat (and who are we kidding? and drink). Plus, you’ll get the added benefit of seeing NOLA from a local’s point of view! We will meet in front of St. Louis Cathedral, we will tour Jackson Square for one hour, and end where we started from-in front of the iconic church in the heart of the Quarter. I aim for your time in New Orleans to be truly a trip of a lifetime! I’m a die hard traveller as well, and so once the ghost stories are told and a few toasts have been made, I’d love to connect with you so that we all have friends in new corners of the globe. This experience is great for groups and couples alike!

Soulful Photowalk
Hey y’all! My photowalk excursion takes place starting on Esplanade Ave. and ends on Elysians Fields; it’s my take on taking people to a perfect place for a variety of different and timeless scenes to shoot, eat, or shop; in heart of Treme and Marigny. Our photoshoot is a bridge to create the connection to New Orleans that you crave. I teach New Orleans beyond the cultural stereotypes, dissonance, questionable history narratives being sold to you, and misinterpretations on the spirit of New Orleans —all while I get to photograph your essence in the crevice of the environments that I expose you to. Throughout, I’m offering a sacred invitation to turning packaged, disconnected tourist experiences into valuable meaningful journeys where not only are you simply travelling to a different place , but you will know how to integrate deeper ways on making your attraction to a different place, a conscious facilitator to travel deeper within yourself; meanwhile I channel our photowalk as both complementary and an essential medium to summon all my beautiful travelers toward a more authentic and artistic moment **Please do not schedule this booking if your time is rigid, as I am an artist who likes to take their time. I don’t like rushing my process, if you have to rush**
