    ![Woman sitting on the couch drinking coffee](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/mindfulness-mondays-event-banner-2026.png?itok=NDgQPEBe)  In this special Mindfulness Monday session, we’ll be joined by someone with lived experience supporting a loved one with Parkinson’s. Through gentle reflection and grounding practices, this session invites you to reconnect with the present moment, cultivate inner steadiness, and create space for compassion—both for yourself and others. Open to all, this session offers a calm and supportive pause to begin your week.
