What it is

A community for the curious — that happens to be for people with Parkinson's.

Parkinson's Curious is not an education program. It is not a support group. It's a weekly gathering where interesting people talk about interesting things — a must-see documentary, a Curious Journey series, a new invention, a question worth chewing on.

Everyone here is living with Parkinson's. Nobody is defined by it. We leave the medical talk to your doctor. Here, we talk about the rest of your life — the part that made you interesting in the first place.

Should the driving age be the same as the age to go to war?

Tap one to share your take — no typing needed.

Yes — one age makes sense
No — they are very different
It depends on the person
02

Feel like yourself again

This isn't about your diagnosis. It's about the ideas, curiosities, and passions that make you, you.

03

Real conversation, not lectures

Small groups. Warm hosts. Everyone talks. We give your voice room and replies time — you're welcome to share as much or as little as you like.
