2026 Women's Retreat Registration

FRIDAY, MAY 15 – SUNDAY, MAY 17

North Star Reach Camp

1200 University Camp Dr, Pinckney, MI 48169

Join us for a restorative weekend at North Star Reach for the Women’s Retreat: The Constellation Within: Women Navigating Strength Together. Surrounded by nature, this retreat will bring women from Michigan’s bleeding disorders community together for connection, education, reflection, and support.

Just like stars in a constellation, each woman’s story and strength help guide and support others. Throughout the weekend, participants will engage in educational sessions, meaningful conversations, creative activities, and time to relax and connect with fellow community members.

This event will also feature a Young Women’s Track, offering age-relevant conversations designed specifically for younger women in the community.

This event is free of cost and includes two overnight stays at camp, programming, and all meals.

All WOMEN in Michigan's bleeding disorders community, age 18 and up, are welcome. Space is limited to 45 attendees.

Registration will close on April 27th.
