Seshat's Record presents Women Of The Sound Retreat — an annual gathering for the women shaping the music industry, hosted in New Orleans during Essence Festival weekend.
This is a curated retreat for executives, managers, A&Rs, producers, attorneys, publishers, marketing leads, founders, and the women whose decisions move the industry forward.
For three nights, we step out of the city we work in and into the city the culture comes to. Real conversation in spaces designed for it. Real connection with peers operating at the same level. Real time to think, plan, breathe, and build alongside women who actually understand the work — over an Essence weekend that doesn't get repeated.
What to Expect-
We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.
-
Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.
-
-
Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
-
We often include optional check-ins, next steps, or community resources to help you keep the momentum going.

Our Story
WHY THIS RETREAT MATTERS
The music industry has built rooms for everyone except the women who hold it together.
Conferences are crowded. Boardrooms are competitive. The networking that's supposed to happen at industry events rarely happens at the level women in music actually need.
This retreat is the opposite of that. Twelve women. Three nights. One city. Real conversation, real connection, and the kind of peer relationships that move careers forward for years.
