About this trip

This one is very personal to me. My maternal Grandmother told me a secret many years ago when I was a kid. That secret has brought me to a call that I am answering, and to an ancestral story that I am beginning to learn about, walk through, write and share. 


Therefore, I will be spending some time in New Orleans, home of my mother's family, to do research on our ancestral connection to the New Orleans Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. 


Because my work over the past 5 years has centered around building our legacies of healing, liberation and love, I have created this intimate Legacy Trip for just a few people to join me who are also interested in learning about some key aspects of New Orleans culture, and taking this journey through our interconnected legacies through my eyes, as a granddaughter and a descendent of New Orleans. 


We will visit historic places such as:

  • the French Quarter and the French Market, including Cafe DuMonde
  • The Riverwalk and other local sites such as Bourbon St, etc
  • several historic mausoleums and burial grounds in and around New Orleans
  • Marie Laveau guided, walking tours and Voodoo shops
  • Baldwin & Co Bookstore
  • The Whitney Plantation

This private experience is only open for 3 people. 


Included in this unique Legacy experience is a private bedroom and bathroom in our community house near the French Quarter. Transportation, most meals, and all entrance, admission and tour fees are included. 


Everyone will be responsible for all of their own expenses when we dine out and shop. 


Whether you have been to Nola before, or have always wanted to go, this trip is best suited for people who have an interest in Black creole traditions that include but are not limited to food, jazz and other styles of New Orleans music, Catholicism, Voodoo, and ancestry work.


Upon registering, I will reach out to you so I can share all the details of the trip to make sure this will be an experience that is a good fit for all of us. 


Legacy Trips alumni are highly encouraged to consider joining me for this!

This was a masterfully planned and facilitated trip. The majority of the weekend is self-guided, which is necessary, but Tina scaffolds you before each experience. She gave us general topics to discuss during informal meals, and guiding principals to keep in mind before moving through the museum and memorial, in addition to leading reflections afterwards. For me, her guidance deepened my time and made each portion of the weekend more impactful. Also, I really appreciate the thoughtfully curated pre and post work. I felt much more prepared for the trip because of it and am so grateful that there are resources to help integrate the work and continue connecting with others afterwards. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

What a transformational experience. Thank you Tina for guiding us through such a thoughtfully planned and executed Legacy Trip. The museum and memorial were eye opening and walking over the bridge in Selma crystalized for me how I can make personal changes to be a better ancestor. And I now have bigger network of women who will hold me accountable to making these changes. Words don't do it justice - THANK YOU!!

Wow, what an incredibly well organized trip! The accommodations were great, the meals were delicious, the workshops were AMAZING, and the tours of the Legacy Museum, the Memorial for Peace & Justice, and the walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, were all phenomenal experiences and I am forever changed!

This is my second Legacy Trip so I came to this already knowing the quality of experience that Legacy Trips provide. When I tell you that this trip blew me out of the water I am not exaggerating. I had been wanting to do plant medicine for a few years but was really concerned about the safety of the space and the care that would be provided while in the medicine. La Vida Divine is an outstanding organization with thoughtful and caring facilitators. I trusted Legacy Trips before I met La Vida Divine and feel that the relationship between Legacy Trips and La Vida Divine is a most perfect union. I highly recommend this trip if you are looking to do a plant medicine journey and are serious about being intentional and thoughtful about your experience. Love Tina, Goddess Jhoselyn and Gaddy, forever my favorites!

Tabitha, you are truly Legacy family now! It was so beautiful being on this plant medicine trip with you. I believe our paths crossed so that we could experience this kind of loving community together. Thank you for trusting me and for trusting us to walk alongside you through your journey of healing, liberation and love.
