VHF/HACA Virtual Men’s Retreat
November 8, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
In partnership with the Hemophilia Association of the Capital Area (HACA), we are offering a virtual Men’s Retreat! Participants will enjoy education and time to gather and share with other people who encounter similar challenges. This retreat is free and open to men age 21 and up with inherited bleeding disorders and/or to men whose lives are impacted by a bleeding disorder (i.e. caregivers, spouses, immediate family members).
Sunday, November 8th
2:00 pm – HFA Rap Session and Virtual Beer Tasting Class
3:00 pm – Singing to Heal
Join Shelby Smoak, Ph.D., Advocate & Education Specialist, Biomatrix, for an interactive discussion of music, the brain, and healing. This program empowers participants to tap into the healing power of music and into sharing the emotional experience with others. Finish off with a fun-filled music trivia game! This version of music trivia will contain a special 1980s round. This event promises to be a song-filled experience.
