March 7 Alone in a Crowd (date to be confirmed)
Alone in a Crowd:Conquering Loneliness and Isolation in These Times of Spiritual Distress and Parkinson’s SymptomsResearch 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.
