The Fall Women’s Retreat (rescheduled from July) will be held September 25 - 27 on Earthwork Farm. Facilitated by Lisa Franseen, Kelly Kieft and Ashley Murray, women are invited to join us as we seek to connect with one another, the Earth and our inner selves.

It is a rare gift we can give ourselves, to put aside our many roles and make space for oneself. Imagine having uninterrupted time to share your own story, knowing you will be heard and honored.

Together we will engage in “whole-body” participation - sharing our stories, listening deeply to other’s experiences, spending focused time in nature, indulging in something creative, lightly facilitated group discussions, perhaps guided meditation and movement, readings, journaling, and reflective stillness amongst the trees.

When women gather in this way, empowerment happens! With one another’s unconditional support, our authentic selves can emerge and guide us closer toward the life we are here to live, one in line with our values, our heart, and our purpose.

Hilarious story of 4 Southern women who meet at random attempt to stop their boredom through a hilarious variety of misadventures. They form lasting friendships ultimately rediscovering confidence, joy and the excitement of life.

Shows will be on Sept 18, 19, 25 & 26 at 7pm as well as Sept 20th and 27th at 2pm.

The Benzie Area Historical Society presents “A Night at the Museum”! Join us at the Benzie Area Historical Museum & Research Center, 6941 Traverse Ave, Benzonia, MI 49616, for an evening of discovery, conversation, and community as we celebrate the people and stories that shaped Benzie history.

Attendees will explore the museum, where they will meet many Benzie Legends, historical women and men portrayed by museum volunteers. As part of this Great History Hunt, those who complete the activity will receive a special reward!

The evening will also include a Silent Auction. Auction items include a golf outing for four at Crystal Mountain, a historical boat tour of Platte Lake, a tour of Iron Fish Distillery, and many more items! Treats and beverages will be offered.

A special guest will also be attending: a visitor who traveled a great distance from the 1780s to speak with us about President George Washington. Dr. James Craig, George Washington’s personal physician and friend, will be joining us, portrayed by historical presenter and storyteller R.W. Lowe.

Don’t miss this evening of fun and discovery, and help support our museum!

Based on the 20th Century Fox Picture. When three vastly different office workers - Violet, Judy, and Doralee - are pushed to the brink by their sexist, egotistical boss, they don’t just get mad…they get even. Through a wild mix-up of fantasy, farce, and bold determination, the trio hatches a plan to take control of the office and transform their toxic work environment into a place of respect and possibility.

Join us for a free, hands-on clay experience during Creative Wellness Month. In this drop-in activity, you’ll shape and decorate small, smooth clay stones—sometimes known as “worry stones”—that fit in the palm of your hand.

Traditionally used as tools for comfort and focus, these stones can also serve as personal touchstones: gentle reminders of calm, intention, or strength. You’ll have the chance to personalize yours with text imprints that hold meaning for you.

No experience needed. All ages welcome. Stay for a few minutes or longer—this is a relaxed, come-as-you-are opportunity to explore the grounding power of clay.

All materials provided. Final products will be available for later pickup after firing.

Objective: Skill Development, Creativity Enhancement

Outcome: Improved Technique, Creation of Artwork
