American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is hosting a “Thriving Through Mindfulness” program specific to Parkinson’s care partners. The virtual program meets on Tuesdays from July 14 to August 4, 1-2pm PT. This welcoming and interactive series acknowledges the unique experiences and stressors that care partners face, while offering a dedicated space to pause, recharge, and care for yourself.

Through guided meditation and breathwork in a supportive group practice, participants will learn:
- Research and potential benefits of practicing mindfulness and meditation
- Ways to meditate and practice breathwork
- Qualities of mindfulness
- Awareness of thoughts
- The relationship between the autonomic nervous system and stress
The facilitator is Sharon Gutterman, PhD. Visit Sharon’s website.
