Parkinson’s brings ongoing change—not just physically, but emotionally and relationally. This session invites participants to explore how mindfulness can support us in being with what’s present: emotions, thoughts, grief, fear, love, and resilience—without becoming overwhelmed by them.

Rather than pushing difficult experiences away or trying to stay “positive,” we practice turning toward our inner experience with kindness and curiosity. This session is especially supportive for care partners and professionals, who often carry a lot while making space for others.
