Join the Creative Women Entrepreneurs community for our very first Creative Women Walk!
We’ll explore Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan together, taking in the Hudson River overlooks, historic architecture, and lush gardens, while enjoying casual conversation and connection.
After the walk, those who wish can continue on to The Met Cloisters, located right inside the park. Admission is pay-what-you-wish for New York residents (bring your NY ID).
This is a relaxed, no-pressure way to meet fellow creative women while moving, chatting, and discovering one of NYC’s most beautiful parks. Bring comfy shoes, a water bottle, and your curiosity… we’ll take care of the good company! Confirmed RSVPs will receive our meeting location one day before the walk.
We welcome artists, makers, designers, writers, film and media makers, product creators, event planners, marketers, educators, and musicians to join us.

Join us on Sunday, October 12 at 4:00 PM on the Cloisters Lawn as we officially designate the park’s magnificent Great Ginkgo as one of NYC Parks’ celebrated Great Trees. This special ceremony honors the enduring beauty and ecological importance of this centuries-old landmark.
Following the commemoration, enjoy an open-air concert featuring Jhoely Garay and her ensemble. A New York–based guitarist, composer, arranger, and educator from Mexico, Jhoely blends straight-ahead swing, contemporary jazz, and vibrant Latin American rhythms. Through her music, she amplifies stories of climate awareness and overlooked histories, creating an unforgettable evening of sound and purpose.
