Creative Connections: Arts & Wellness for Parkinson's

Wellness Wednesday: Social Engagement Series

Creative Connections is an arts-based wellness program designed to support the emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of people with Parkinson’s and their care partners. In this session, our facilitators will introduce the creative practices they use—including acting, improvisation, voice work, choreography, drama therapy, music therapy, mindfulness, and movement.

After sharing an overview of their approach, they will guide participants through a series of simple, engaging activities. Together, we’ll explore how creative expression can spark connection, build confidence, and offer meaningful tools for well-being.
