Join us for a special Mindfulness Monday session designed with care for the Parkinson’s community. In this practice, Crista will guide you through gentle hand mudras, calming breath with sound, and a soothing guided imagery of an evening walk in nature. Together, we’ll explore simple ways to relax the body, steady the mind, and invite a sense of connection and peace.

This session requires no prior experience and can be done from a chair or any comfortable position. Come as you are—all you need is yourself, your breath, and a willingness to receive a moment of ease.

Whether this is your first mindfulness Monday, or you are a returning participant, these sessions are created with the intention of including everyone. There will be time for questions following the practice.

With the autumn equinox behind us, the season of cooler days and shorter light has arrived. Just as trees stop producing chlorophyll and reveal the vibrant colors hidden beneath their green, we too can release what no longer serves us and uncover the beauty within. For people living with Parkinson’s—whether as a person diagnosed or as a care partner—this can mean letting go of thoughts, emotions, or habits that add stress or limit joy. In this guided meditation, we’ll use breathwork and visualization to create space for comfort, acceptance, and self-appreciation, and to notice the unique colors and strengths that shine during times of change.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. This program is open to people with Parkinson's, their family, friends, and the community.

Navigating the journey of Parkinson’s care involves continual change—not just for the person with Parkinson’s, but also for you, the care partner. This empowering two-hour webinar is designed to help you support your loved one while also caring for yourself with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Join us for "Caring with Confidence," a virtual gathering focused on the evolving roles, boundaries, and identities that shape the care partner experience. Whether you're new to caregiving or have supported someone through many seasons of Parkinson’s, this webinar offers connection, insights, and practical reflections.

What to Expect:

• Topic Overviews led by expert voices

• Candid Panel Discussions with care partners who are on the journey

• Opportunities for Q&A and Participant Reflections

Key Themes Include:

• How Parkinson’s changes both partners’ identities over time

• Setting healthy caregiving boundaries—when to step in, and when to step back

• Protecting your sense of self and well-being while supporting someone else

• Real-life wisdom from care partners who’ve been there

Whether you’re navigating new diagnoses or facing long-term challenges, this space is for you.

Audience: This program is designed for care partners of people living with Parkinson’s. While individuals with Parkinson’s are welcome to attend, please note that the content is specifically focused on supporting those in caregiving roles.

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.
