Women’s Empowerment Summit
February 21, 2026 • 8:30 AM–5:00 PM
Treetops Resort • Gaylord, Michigan
Tickets: $140

Show up curious, leave unstoppable. The Women’s Empowerment Summit is a full-day, in-person experience designed to spark inspiration, build confidence, and strengthen community. Hosted at the beautiful Treetops Resort, attendees will enjoy breakfast, lunch, connection with local women, and a dynamic lineup of empowering sessions.

Throughout the day, we’ll explore eight core empowerment lenses—Lifelong Learning, Emotional Intelligence, Belonging, Banking & Credit Building, Service, Safety, Advocacy, and Women’s Health—through engaging activities, interactive discussions, and guided reflection. The event begins with a heartfelt panel featuring local women leaders who share authentic stories and real-world wisdom.

Each participant will receive a beautifully designed companion workbook to continue personal growth long after the event.

If you’re seeking clarity, confidence, or a renewed sense of purpose, this summit is your invitation to learn, connect, and grow. Join us for a day of meaningful conversation, practical tools, and powerful community energy.

Let’s explore watercolor together as both an individual and community mindfulness practice. Watercolor is the perfect medium to teach us how to let go of perfection, to continue when things aren't going exactly as planned, to appreciate one another's creative journeys, and to find flow.

The focus is on the journey rather than the outcome. This is not a class with a teacher, but rather an experience of creativity in community. Zero experience or "artistic ability" strongly encouraged. This experience will create a welcome space for all who wish to participate. Space is limited. Please preregister.
