New Friends, New Skills, New Healing

Connect with your sisters AND YOURSELF!

Our History

The Michigan Women Veterans Weekend started as a pilot program by local veterans and the Western Michigan Sail club to see if experiential activities (such as sailing) combined with artistic expression could support healing from traumatic experiences and PTSD.

The program was a huge success and the Women Veterans Weekend has now grown to include a planning board with representation from all over the USA.

While the activities offered each year vary, one thing that remains the same: women veterans who attend reconnect with themselves, connect with other women veterans, and in ways they never thought possible. Tears are shed. Hugs are given. You. Are. NOT. Alone!

The 2025 Michigan Women Veterans Weekend is slated to take place September 18-21 (Thurs-Sun) in Pentwater Michigan. Women Veterans Weekends in other states are currently in planning stage for future years.

Help Us Help Them!

We are also looking for experiential hands-on activiites such as painting, sculpting, meditation, etc. Due to our committment to making the weekend free for women veterans, we ask that all workshop and eperience providers donate their time. Thank you for understanding!
