Anam Cara Gatherings, Support & Community

Anam Cara offers gatherings and support spaces designed to bring people together, share experiences, and help people feel a little less alone in caregiving and aging.

 

Family Caregiver Support Program

Monthly Family Caregiver Support Circles

With support from LOR Foundation, our Family Caregiver Support Program offers monthly evening circles where caregivers can gather for tea, cookies, and honest conversation. This lightly facilitated space offers a chance to share what is genuinely on your mind and heart with peers who walk a similar path.

Upcoming Dates: September 30, October 28 RSVP at community@accwyo.org (only required for October 28th date), November 18, December 16, January 27, February 10
Time: 6:00 PM–8:00 PM
Location: The lounge at Trinity Episcopal Church

 

Caregiver Rejuvenation Gatherings

Caregiving asks a lot of us. Rejuvenation Gatherings offer opportunities to pause, restore, create, and connect through experiences designed especially for caregivers.

Journal Making & Collage: Unwind through art with local artist and fellow caregiver Lori Hunter. We’ll use collage materials to create a beautiful journal, followed by a compassionate writing reflection facilitated by Liz.

Upcoming Date: Tuesday, October 20, 6:00 PM–8:00 PM
Location: Lander Art Center

Restorative Sound Bath: Lay your body down, let the sound waves of the gong soothe your nervous system, and leave feeling lighter and calmer. Includes time for community connection.

Upcoming Date: Sunday, December 6, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
Location: Lander Yoga Collective

 

Caregiver Online Support Community

We are building a digital neighborhood where caregivers can offer and receive support through a group chat. Whether you need a quick resource, have a question about dementia or caregiving, or simply need a supportive voice on a hard day, this community gives us another way to stay connected.

Anam Cara leadership will participate in the group and be available to offer expertise, resources, and support.

Interested in joining? Email community@accwyo.org to connect with the group.

Aging Support Groups

Leaning Into Aging Support Group

Aging brings change, uncertainty, loss, possibility, and questions we do not always have space to talk about. Leaning Into Aging is a monthly gathering for honest conversation, reflection, and support as we navigate the realities of growing older.

Together, we will name what is real, explore what we need, and make space for connection along the way.

Upcoming Dates: October 21, November 18, December 23, January 20, February 17
Time: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM
Location: Trinity Episcopal Church
