If you’re craving some real-time connection and encouragement, Lelia Gowland is hosting another event in her Get Sh*t Done Day series.

Bring your tedious tasks, big challenging projects, or items you just can’t seem to get off your to do list. Think of it like a grown-up study date.

At the event, we’ll first visit and share what we’ll be working on independently. Lelia will offer strategic support and guidance. Then, we’ll have two work blocks to GSD (get sh*t done) independently. We’ll take a break in the middle to stretch, visit, and reset. At the end, we’ll celebrate what we’ve accomplished.

Imagine how good you’ll feel when you get it done!

*Don't forget: Bring your laptop, journal, or whatever you need to accomplish your goals. This is a fun co-working session.*

Find the courage and freedom to express the bold truths of your own voice with Paris-based poet Kristin Sanders.

Beginning with a meditation led by Zuyapa to ground into our bodies, we'll then read and discuss a few poems and short texts that tackle questions of sexualiity, desire, and partnership in thrillingly honest ways.

You will be given a writing prompt to work on for a 10-minute "automatic writing" exercise, with an option to share with the group. What emerges when we free ourselves to read, write about, and honor our sexuality, in all its complexity, as a deserving and important topic for art?

What strength and comfort can we gather from the writers who are brave enough to express their sexuaity on the page, and how could their courage impact our own lives? You'll leave with a PDF of texts, a reading list of books that engage with topics related to sexuality, and a new piece of writing by you that captures your truth.

September is Sexual Health Awareness Month, and Salon22 and The Menopause Clinic are teaming up to close it out with an empowering discussion.

Join Crystal Burke, FNP-C, and Steven Youngblood, MD, co-founders of The Menopause Clinic, for a candid conversation on women’s sexual health from perimenopause through postmenopause. Too often, women are told their symptoms are “just aging” or “all in their head.” Crystal and Steven are here to change that.

Through a mix of presentation and Q&A, they’ll:

• Debunk the most common myths about perimenopause and menopause

• Explain how hormone shifts impact desire, confidence, relationships, and overall health

• Share modern, science-backed options to help women reclaim pleasure, identity, and power in this stage of life

This event is open to Salon22 members, with a limited number of tickets available to the public here.

Any items left at the end of the event will be donated to a local charity.

VIRTUAL Get Sh*t Done Day with Lelia Gowland

A grown-up study date with strategic support and accountability.

July 24
11- 12pm CT

How would it feel to knock out some of those pesky “to-dos” that you keep avoiding or finally take action on that big project?

Particularly when my motivation is low, one of my favorite (and most effective) productivity hacks is strategic co-working time, so…

Let’s get Sh*t done, together!

Curious about what to expect?

First, we’ll visit and share what we’ll be working on independently. I’ll offer strategic support and guidance. Then, we’ll have a work block to GSD (get shit done) while muted. At the end, we’ll celebrate what we’ve accomplished.

It’s a blast.

Whether you want to knock out a big report or just dedicate time for self-care (literally, one client showed up in a clay face mask), I’d love to see you.

As one client said, “I got more done [during the party] than I have in the last 2 weeks.”

It’s free, and folks of all genders are welcome. Please invite friends — the more the merrier!

Women’s Wellness Book Club with Dr. Alisha Reed

Thursday, July 17 | 5:30–7 PM
 

Join us for an uplifting evening of conversation, reflection, and community at the Women’s Wellness Book Club. Each month, we dive into a book that supports our collective journey toward living well—emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Come ready to share your thoughts and connect with other women passionate about wellness. We’ll explore themes from this month’s selection, The Road Back to You, and how its wisdom can show up in our everyday lives.

The Road Back to You - The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. In The Road Back to You Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile forge a unique approach―a practical, comprehensive way of accessing Enneagram wisdom. Not only will you learn more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world through other people's eyes, understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do.

Please RSVP to christa@Salon22nola.com.

Life can take unexpected turns—but having a plan can bring comfort, clarity, and confidence. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to prepare for the “what-ifs” of life, such as sudden illness or injury, so you and your loved ones can focus on what matters most: each other.

You’ll learn how thoughtful care planning isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about honoring your values, supporting emotional and spiritual needs, and staying connected through whatever comes next.

Together, we’ll walk through practical tools that help you create a care plan that reflects who you are and what matters to you. Whether you're planning ahead for yourself or a loved one, this session is designed to leave you feeling informed, empowered, and more at peace.
