Culture
You are not staying on the outskirts. You are in it. Moving through the city, engaging with what makes it distinct, and experiencing it alongside others.

What Earthly Delights Is
Lived in. Not observed.
Each experience is rooted in a specific place. The goal is not to remove you from the world, but to bring you deeper into it. Into the food, the atmosphere, the rhythm of a city, and the people you are sharing it with. Shorter in length. Lower barrier to entry. Designed so more people can say yes without rearranging their entire lives.
Cuisine
Food is not an afterthought. It is part of the experience. Meals are curated, shared, and reflective of the place you are in.
Mysticism or Meaning
Spiritual or magical practices rooted in the region. Or a deeper cultural experience. Or a once-in-a-lifetime moment that brings the group together in a way that stays with you.
Earthly Delights · New Orleans
Three days through culture, mystery, and connection.
Day One
The world opens.
Food, movement, and time in the city together. A shared dinner leads into a ghost tour through the stories and folklore of New Orleans, followed by nightlife for those who want to keep going.
Day Two
The house deepens.
A private home becomes the room. A practitioner joins us for a group ritual rooted in local tradition. The pace slows. Food, conversation, and something a little harder to name.
And then, just as naturally as it began, it closes.
The Three Nights
How the weekend moves.
Three nights inside the city. Each night is built around a different mode: arrival, encounter, integration. Same group end to end.
- Night One
Arrival dinner + welcome
The group lands in NOLA and meets over a long curated dinner in a French Quarter restaurant. Introductions are gentle, the food does the work, and the evening sets the tone for the rest of the weekend.
- Night Two
Ghost tour + folklore
After a slow morning, the group moves into the city's storytelling traditions. A guided ghost tour through historic streets. Hoodoo and Voodoo folklore from local practitioners. Dinner follows in a private room.
- Night Three
Private-home ritual + slumber party
The full group gathers in a private home. A guided ritual rooted in the region. Tarot on the table. The Tier Two group stays; Tier One guests can join the late hours before heading back to their lodging.
- Closing Morning
Slow breakfast, comfortable departure
Breakfast made in the house. Time to land what the weekend was before everyone heads to the airport. No closing ceremony performance — just real conversation and a real goodbye.
Who Comes
People who want the city, not just the postcard of it.
· Curious enough to step inside a place, not skim past it
· Game for late-night talk in a private home
· Comfortable in a queer-only or queer-led room
· Bringing themselves, not their performance of themselves
What Do You Want It to Feel Like
Meet us in the city, or stay in the house.
Meals & Mysticism.
You meet us in the city. For the meals, the movement, and the shared moments that make a weekend feel like more than just a weekend. Dinners, ghost tour, laughter, stories. On day two, you step into the house with everyone else.
- · Shared dinners and movement
- · Ghost tour through NOLA folklore
- · Day-two ritual in private home
Simple. Alive. Complete.
The Slumber Party.
You stay in the house. Late nights where not everyone goes out, or not everyone stays out. People in pajamas. Tarot cards on the table. Conversations that only happen when there is nowhere else to be.
- · Everything in Tier One
- · Stay in the private home
- · Slow last morning, breakfast made in
Closer. Quieter. More personal.
Before You Book
A few answers before the city.
Tier One is the city version: meals, movement, ghost tour, and the day-two ritual in the private home. You sleep in your own lodging. Tier Two adds the slumber-party arc inside the home, late-night conversations, and the closing breakfast inside the house.
Travel is not included. You fly into New Orleans on your own. We share lodging recommendations near the city center once you book.
Yes. Many guests come with someone they trust. Both Tier One and Tier Two seats are individual, so you each reserve your own.
The container is queer-led and queer-centered. We do not exclude allies attending with a queer partner, but the room is built for queer connection first.
Yes. NOLA is the first stop. Future Earthly Delights stops will be designed around other cities with their own cultural texture. Get on the list and you will hear about the next one before it goes public.
Queer adults who care about culture, food, and conversation more than spectacle. Many are makers, founders, artists, or curious professionals. What matters is the willingness to be inside the city, not just visiting it.
There is always a moment
where the experience shifts.
Something that anchors it. Something you remember. Earthly Delights is about being present for that moment. And for everything that leads up to it.
