This important enterprise serves the Parkinson’s Disease community in Santa Fe, Taos, and Northern New Mexico via in-person and on-line events relevant to their concerns.

Upcoming PD Clubhouse Events:
Chair Feldenkrais with Serina Carrasco
Saturday, February 28th, 1-3 pm
The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle modality developed to improve our everyday movement and heal chronic pain. The primary way we do this is through bodily awareness and re-learning how to move from a place of skeletal stability so the muscles don’t have to work so hard.

Haiku from the Heart
Saturday, May 30th, 1-3 pm
Haiku from the Heart with Elizabeth Elkins — a workshop examining the meaning of balance in the stories we tell. How do we honor truth and beauty at the same time? Together, we will reflect on the experience of living with Parkinson’s. After, each participant will have the opportunity to craft their own haiku. Handwriting not required. Elizabeth Elkins is an attorney who spent a lifetime bewildered by the complex personal tragedies she was asked to address with something as deeply imperfect - and impersonal - as the law. She is now pivoting to a much more powerful tool: storytelling. Guided by her conviction that writing is essential to preserving our humanity, she leads workshops at schools, corporate retreats and treatment centers.
