Dear Readers: I love to see your comments and get your emails as we share our collective experiences. I am just a lay person and a patient like the rest of you. For medical and similar advice, you need to talk to your own doctors.
All Twitchy Women programs are free to all who participate. It takes resources to continue our work and we cannot do it without your help. Our partnership with the Parkinson’s Wellness Fund allows those who want to provide support to do so.
Sunday Mornings with Twitchy Woman
Learn Together, Play Together and Thrive Together
Twitchy Woman hosts a series of webinars on Zoom for Women with Parkinson’s Disease every other Sunday morning at 10 am Pacific Time. To maintain privacy for this group, we ask that care-partners and family members not attend unless an event states that registration is open to all.
March 7 Alone in a Crowd
Alone in a Crowd: Conquering Loneliness and Isolation in These Times of Spiritual Distress and Parkinson’s Symptoms Research shows that loneliness and social isolation can increase severity of Parkinson’s symptoms. But is the answer to simply surround ourselves with more people or more zoom calls? Rev. Sharon Burniston, MDiv, BCC-PCHAC, CT, a palliative care chaplain will share insights into how spiritual distress can lead to feelings of loneliness, even when we are surrounded by caring friends and family.

March 21 Parkinson’s-Art of Expression (PARTE’)
Stephanie Goodman will introduce us to Parkinson’s-Art of Expression, (PARTE™) which provides a creative, drama-based outlet among peers, promotes mental health and serves as an expressive sanctuary for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners. Creative drama exercises, (tools borrowed from the theatre), are
specifically designed to target the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, those not normally
addressed by medicine and traditional exercise therapies. . Register here to join the fun.
