Get to know our event offerings
When we plan events, we're not just filling a calendar. We're building one of the most evidence-backed tools for healthy aging there is: real community. Every preventative step today could mean aging at home longer in the community you love.
Social & Educational Gatherings
Whether you're looking to stay active, plan for the future, or gain practical skills, there’s something for everyone. We have a wide range of events designed to support learning, well-being, and connection.
Cooking Classes • Advanced Care Planning • Social Picnics • End of Life Choices
First Aid and CPR • Emergency Preparedness • Writing and Naturalist Workshops • Game Day • Group Hikes • Technology Support • Ski Outings
Strength & Balance Classes
Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance classes are Tuesdays, 10:30 - 11:30 AM at the Methow Valley United Methodist Church in Winthrop. The program utilizes a series of deceptively simple exercises that isolate and train muscle groups and joint segments that are critical to balance. The exercises are also designed to maintain reflexes, or stimulate and retrain those that have been lost over time.
Stay Active and Independent for Life! (SAIL) is an evidence-based intervention for prevention of falls. The SAIL Program includes a fitness class designed specifically for older adults, along with self-assessments and educational materials.
Weekly SAIL classes in Methow, Twisp or Winthrop, spaces are limited.

Dementia Support
Creative Aging is a free, community-based arts program for persons living with dementia and their care partners that holds tremendous potential for reducing isolation, increasing cognitive, social, and creative engagement while improving overall quality of life.
Caring for People Living with Dementia Classes (CPLD) is a 4-part weekly series offered throughout the year for caregivers and their loved ones.
Questions? Contact donna@methowathome.org or give us a call at 509-996-5844.
Technology Support
Join us for Tech Tuesdays to learn together, create, work, and thrive in today’s digital age! We’ve partnered with Senior Planet from AARP, NCW Tech, Friends of the Winthrop Library, and NCW Libraries to provide free digital skills classes and lectures along with individual tech troubleshooting for adults 60+ in the Methow Valley.
Check our events calendar to see what each week has to offer and reserve your appointment with a Tech Cafe volunteer.
Thanks to NCW Tech for funding digital equity for older adults in the Methow!
Special Interest Groups
Got a passion? We'll help you find your people. Love playing Bridge, sewing, speaking another language, hitting the pickleball court, or flowing through yoga? We probably have a group for that.
Whether you want to start a group around your interest or join one that already meets — reach out and let's connect you with others who share your passion!
Special interest groups don't always make it onto our calendar, so reach out to donna@methowathome.org for details.
Come as you are —
there's a place for you here
