Mindfulness for Parkinson's

Welcome!

Here are resources for people with Parkinson's and if you would like to share anything else please email me and I can post it for you. Thank you and I hope you find what you need. 

Drop-in sessions

Usually the 1st Wednesday of each month 8-8.45pm 

Next sessions: Weds 4th May, Weds 8th June, Weds 6th July

Please use the Zoom Link button on the homepage to access the session.

These are intended for those who have done a mindfulness course, but you are welcome to come along as a taster too. The first half will be a guided meditation and the latter half reflections and chat.  Payment by donation, if you would like, thank you.

Not sure how mindfulness can help?  Here's a short video of a wonderful group of participants with Parkinson's, reflecting on an 8-week MBCT course they completed.
