    ![Husband and wife lookin at a tablet while on their porch](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/wellness-wednesdays-event-banner-2026.png?itok=s2_h0Y4k)  Join us for a unique and uplifting Wellness Wednesday experience that blends the timeless beauty of Shakespearean poetry with the healing power of breath, voice, and creative expression. Guided by a skilled creative artist, this session invites participants to gently activate their breath and voice through simple, accessible exercises—culminating in the recitation of a Shakespeare sonnet.

Creative practices like poetry and performance offer powerful tools for people living with Parkinson’s. They support vocal strength, emotional expression, presence, and connection—while nurturing a sense of play, confidence, and joy.

Whether you're new to Shakespeare or simply seeking a fresh way to connect with your voice and breath, this session is designed to be welcoming, empowering, and fun. No acting experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore.

### Speakers
