Greetings and welcome!
Haiku for Parkinson’s is a feature of The Haiku Foundation (THF): introducing haiku to those of us living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), as well as introducing PD to those ‘living with haiku.’
As part of this feature, renowned poet and editor Sonam Chhoki is teaching the course introducing haiku as a tool in the Parkinson’s toolbox, helping face and negotiate the challenges of the disease and improve quality of life. In this post, Sonam provides an update, which she illustrates with haiku written by current participants.
Sonam writes:
It’s almost two months since this H4P course by email started. I’m humbled that participants from different parts of the globe have responded with enthusiasm and a moving openness to share their experiences of Parkinson’s, either as individuals diagnosed with the condition or as family members, friends, or other members of the caring team.

Sonam will be available to accompany those interested in using the haiku way to express, reflect, and contain their unique experience of Parkinson’s, through 2024.
You can register for this free introductory course any time by emailing us at: haiku4parkinsonsATgmail.com. We will put you in touch with Sonam.
