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.

Speaker

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.
