The Foothills Parkinson’s Support Group — which includes individuals with Parkinson’s, caregivers, or those who may have a loved one with Parkinson’s — has engaged workshop facilitator Robin A. Edgar to conduct an hour overview reminiscence at The Landrum Library on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

The interactive one-hour group sessions is free and open to the public

Edgar, a national workshop facilitator and the author of “In My Mother’s Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence,” will demonstrate how to use the senses to recall, record and celebrate significant memories.

The process will help participants recognize and value the individuals and incidents that shaped their lives.

This creative process has proven to increase feelings of togetherness and reduce apathy and confusion as it encourages self-expression and social interaction.

TFPSG serves the communities of Landrum, Tryon, Columbus, Saluda, Mill Spring, Green Creek, Gowensville, Campobello, Sunny View, Pea Ridge and northern Spartanburg and Greenville counties.

The group meets at 1: 30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month in the large meeting room of the Landrum Library.

Those who are interested in attending the free workshops may contact Richard Kennedy at richardkennedy@hotmail.com or call 864-404-8001.
