About this Event
Take Off Your Red Cape: A Gathering for Rest, Power, and Becoming
Take Off Your Red Cape is a restorative gathering designed for family caregivers who are holding it all together, often at the cost of their own well-being.
Whether you're caring for a parent, partner, child, or other loved one, this gathering offers a chance to exhale, reconnect with yourself, and be surrounded by a community that sees you.
2026 Theme: Reclaiming Rest, Identity, and Joy
This year's gathering invites caregivers to:
- Rest without guilt
- Reclaim parts of yourself that are often lost in the caregiving role
- Rediscover joy as a tool for resilience and renewal
Through heartfelt storytelling, collective reflection, and a supportive environment, this event will help loosen the grip of chronic over-functioning and invite you back to yourself.
What You Can Expect
- Inspirational keynote
- Panel discussion with diverse caregiving experiences
- Group reflection and connection
- On-site respite care (adults only)
- Caregiver resources

Who This Is For
This adult-only event is for you if you:
- Are a caregiver who rarely gets space for yourself
- Feel stretched thin emotionally, mentally, or physically
- Long to feel supported, not invisible
- Desire a connection with others who understand your journey
- Are ready to reclaim your own rest, identity, and joy
