A one-of-a-kind gathering for visionary women in a city where ancestral memory, celebration, and embodiment collide.
Across the country, each of us stands in a portal of profound change—growing, shifting, and entering our most whole, loved, and powerful seasons.
Crave is where we gather in that threshold—not alone, but together, among visionary women reclaiming beauty, connection, and sovereignty.
And what better place to hold this invitation than New Orleans—a city that is itself a living altar of remembrance, artistry, and sensual power.
On the eve of the Day of the Dead, New Orleans hums with quiet electricity—the air infused with magnolia, the streets alive with jazz, the land rich with memory and belonging. Here, African, Indigenous, Caribbean, and European lineages converge—woven into every note, flavor, and gesture.
It’s in this atmosphere of beauty, remembrance, and unshakable presence that I invite you to gather.
Over the past two decades, I’ve designed transformational spaces for the world’s most influential leaders, artists, and changemakers—crafting moments of intimacy and expansion for organizations like the UN, Snap, Glassdoor, the Obama Foundation, the Earth Institute at Columbia University, the LA Philharmonic, and ILIA Beauty.
I’ve shared tables and stages with visionaries including Jeffrey Sachs, Sheila Johnson, Jeffrey Walker, Cheryl Contee, Sarah Jones, and Charles Blow—curating experiences where inspiration becomes embodiment.
Crave is the distillation of that lifetime of work: a sacred table where every detail is intentional, every flavor tells a story, and every woman present is stepping into the most whole, loved, and powerful version of herself.
This is where your senses awaken—not just to taste and sound, but to the unspoken stories etched in the land and your body.
I’ve spent decades designing transformational spaces for global leaders, artists, and changemakers—and Crave is the distillation of everything I know about crafting moments that shift your trajectory.
"Why New Orleans? New Orleans has always been a gathering ground — a meeting place for Indigenous tribes, city of diversity, a cradle of liberation and magic.
It’s a city that holds people in their fullness — body, spirit, history, and joy. For me, with my mother’s roots in this region, it is both personal and ancestral — a reminder that liberation is not just an idea, but something you can feel in your bones.”
Crave invites you to step into a sacred moment where ancestral remembrance meets embodied celebration.
If you feel the pull, reserve your seat now—this table will not open twice.
You’ll be welcomed into a private, historic home in New Orleans—a sacred container designed to meet you in whatever season you carry.

“She helped me elevate presence to posture. Business changed—and so did how I move through the world.”
“Working with Solunis Bay and Salt & Honey Group has been nothing short of transformative.
In a relatively short time, I experienced profound shifts—personally and professionally. As a CEO and leader navigating high-impact, high-visibility environments, I’ve long understood the importance of presence. But Solunis helped me embody it on an entirely new level.
Her approach isn’t just about performance—it’s about alignment. She brings a rare capacity to mirror what’s needed in the moment while holding space for long-term vision, emotional integrity, and legacy. Her facilitation, reflections, and frameworks guided me to elevate how I lead teams, hold boundaries, and show up in spaces where my voice, care, and cultural insight are essential.
Solunis creates a space where leaders can be both strategic and whole.
She doesn’t just coach—she activates something lasting.
I’m enormously grateful for our work together and deeply respect the mission behind Salt & Honey Group. It’s the kind of support I wish more women in power had access to.”
“Salt & Honey doesn’t just transform teams—it regenerates legacy.”
"As someone deeply rooted in the hospitality industry, I know the complexity of leading with both excellence and care.
Balancing service, creativity, and culture requires more than operational skill—it demands emotional intelligence, vision, and grounded presence.
That’s exactly what Solunis Nicole Bay and Salt & Honey Group bring.
Solunis has a rare ability to hold space for both the structural and the soulful. Her approach speaks to the real-world pressures of high-performance environments while honoring the human and cultural layers that often go unseen. Through Salt & Honey, she offers a depth of leadership guidance that blends beauty, strategy, and spiritual clarity.
This work doesn’t just improve performance—it reshapes how leaders move through the world.
It’s for those of us who want to lead with values, care, and impact that lasts.
Whether you're refining your guest experience, developing your team, or seeking a deeper sense of leadership alignment—Salt & Honey Group is a transformative partner."
“Working with Solunis was divine alignment. I didn’t just grow my business—I learned to lead with soul.”
“Working with Solunis Bay was nothing short of divine alignment.
From January through July, she served as both a business coach and a sacred mirror—offering me tools, wisdom, and presence that shifted not only how I lead, but how I live.
Every session began with grounding—an intentional return to self before diving into the strategy of running my Private Chef, Catering, and Meal Kit company. It was never just about goals or growth. It was about wholeness.
Solunis held space for me as a Black woman business owner navigating capitalism, healing, and creativity. She offered practical insights without ever abandoning the spiritual depth I needed. Her guidance was soft but potent, deeply intuitive yet clear. I always left our sessions feeling seen, resourced, and realigned with my purpose.
Her work is for those of us who refuse to separate our success from our soul.
I carry her pearls of wisdom with me daily. If you are ready to elevate your business while staying connected to your true self—this is the kind of coach, guide, and presence you want in your corner."
