Journaling Together for People with Parkinson's

Please note: Each monthly class is a standalone class, not part of a course!

You are invited to make writing part of your month! In these one-hour sessions you will have an opportunity to start or continue a writing practice, add writing to your human-ing toolbox, and keep your creativity muscles conditioned. In each session, a unique prompt or question will be offered to spark creativity and then you’ll have some writing time in the company of others via Zoom. Participants are welcome to share some of the day’s writing and discuss what they discovered during the exercise, though sharing work is not required. Each session stands alone, so feel free to drop in and see what comes up when you take the expectations out of creative expression. Let’s have fun and do it together!

People with Parkinson's and Care Partners are welcome. Please note, each class is limited to 20 people. Before finalizing your registration, we kindly ask you to reflect on your availability and commitment to attend each class and actively engage in the discussions and activities.
