NoMiWoman @ Discovery Cruises

NoMiWoman Connections SPRING 2025 Series
Wednesday, May 14 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Join Northern Michigan Woman Magazine for a special Women’s Networking Event aboard a Discovery Cruise on Wednesday, May 14th, from 5:00–7:00 PM. Set sail on The Discovery for a scenic 1.5-hour tour of Grand Traverse Bay, complete with drinks, light appetizers, networking, prizes, and a fresh perspective of our beautiful town.

Our featured speaker, Sarah Stephan, will share her empowering message, “From Burnout to Bold: Reclaiming Confidence Through Radical Self-Care.” A yoga teacher and boudoir photographer, Sarah helps women reconnect with their bodies and confidence by slowing down and putting themselves back on the list.

Boarding begins at 5:00 PM, and the boat departs promptly at 5:30 PM. Don’t miss it!

• Enjoy a Cruise up to 1.5 hour*
• Boat leaves at 5:30pm SHARP!
• Speaker: TBD
• Beer, Wine, Nonalcoholic Drinks and light appetizers
• Prizes and more!

*We will cruise rain or shine – in case of inclement weather, the main deck is climate-controlled and enclosed and the upper deck can also be enclosed. Should a severe weather condition develop, and the Captain determines that conditions make it unsafe for the boat to leave the dock, the event may continue dockside and leave the dock once it is safe to do so (within the allotted time frame). There are restrooms on the boat.

Tickets are $18/each or 2 for $30
