Join us in Riverton for a free public screening of a Leonard Peltier documentary, followed by a discussion with film producer Jhane Myers.

This special event will be held at the Central Wyoming College (CWC) Robert A. Peck Arts Theater, located at 250 Peck Avenue, Riverton, WY. The evening includes an introduction, full film screening, and a post-film discussion with light refreshments.

This event is free and open to the public. Community members, students, and anyone interested in Indigenous rights, social justice, and documentary film are encouraged to attend.

Join Sarah Wilzbacher, Anam Cara Caregiving Founder and Director of Care, and Jill Moeller, Enhabit Hospice Social Worker, for a community conversation about the barriers that keep us from asking for help as we age and care for our elders—and what becomes possible when we build a team and access support.

As Wyomingites, we often prize self-reliance. But when caregiving enters the picture, that same drive for independence can quietly become a trap—isolating us from support that could sustain quality of life through aging and caregiving.

Together, we’ll explore:

Why asking for help is so hard—and why it matters so much

How to recognize when self-reliance turns into isolation and deficit

What opens up for caregivers and loved ones when support is accepted

Expand Your Playground & Your Comfort Zone!
Join Jody Sanborn for a two-part women’s backcountry skills and trail running Discovery Session designed to help participants feel more prepared, informed, and confident exploring the backcountry.

The series focuses on practical, real-world skills that support safer, more confident trail running in the backcountry and offers value for both newer and seasoned runners.

A major focus of the first session is “What’s in your pack?”, a hands-on discussion about preparation, essential gear, and decision-making for backcountry trail running, with the second session building on this foundation through movement on trail and application of skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Who can attend? All inclusive, all paces welcome: runners, joggers, hikers. All ability levels are welcome, regardless of previous experience. The objective is to empower anyone identifying as a woman with the tools and confidence to expand their trail running into the backcountry.

Outdoor Session – Saturday, May 16, 9-11 am @ Red Grade Trails Base Trailhead
