Ipanema CircleA private membership community.
Ipanema Circle is a community for aging gay men in Marin County and Palm Springs. Eight curated events each month, across both markets, in person.
What the Circle isCommunity before crisis.
The Circle exists on a simple premise. Care that begins in the moment of need arrives as a stranger. Care that emerges from a community that has known you for years arrives as a continuation. The Circle is the long, patient work of building that community before anyone needs it.
Members gather for private dinners, cultural salons, wellness experiences, and the annual Rio de Janeiro journey. They build relationships that will outlast the events themselves. They become, over time, the network from which care, when it is needed, can be drawn.
The eventsEight gatherings each month.
Across Marin and Palm Springs, the Circle hosts eight events per month. Members are welcome at any event in either market. The program rotates between four kinds of gatherings:
Private dinners, intimate, curated, in members' homes and select restaurants.
Cultural salons, with artists, writers, thinkers, and the kind of conversation that does not happen in larger rooms.
Wellness gatherings, focused on the body, the mind, and aging well together.
Travel experiences, including the annual Rio de Janeiro journey, included at higher tiers.

Circle and careHow the two platforms connect.
Every client of Ipanema Life receives the Social tier of Ipanema Circle automatically, at no cost. Care and community are not sold separately; they are two ends of the same relationship. The Circle is where care begins, in conversation and connection, long before any home visit is scheduled. Ipanema Life is where that relationship deepens into clinical care, advocacy, and the daily work of holding a life.
MembershipOne generation. One community.
Ipanema Circle is open to aging gay men in Marin County and Palm Springs. Members shape what the Circle becomes. They name what they want from it. They build the relationships that the next generation of members will join.
