Refreshing Conversations and Retreats for Caregivers

To assist in stopping the spread of COVID-19 I elected to move online and sincerely hope you and your loved ones are finding connection as we move through this arduous time.

Contact Jan to schedule a convenient time to discuss and discover what feels right for you.  Call 612-402-7909

  • CAREGIVING FROM A DISTANCE. A conversation via Zoom.   Let's focus our energy, hearts and minds to bring forward the best of ourselves in the worst of situations.  What matters most as we are caregiving at a distance?  Free with registration.
  • AN ART WORKSHOP via ZOOM.  Are you a caregiver who could benefit from increased energy, momentum, and calm?  Are you interested in new methods of approaching life as you are faced with continual change?   

·      Notice behaviors challenge perceptions of living.

·      Experience grief and loss along the way.

·      Learn how to turn current understanding into new narratives and practices. 

·      Energize.  Refresh your creative-self and reset your compass

  • ART RETREAT.  To be scheduled with a small group using social-distancing methods. Time to examine our beliefs and discover practices that will center and shape each “home-base”, a place to begin again after each and every change. Using the still life, literally, and as a metaphor, we’ll employ creative processes to reflect and gain understanding.  Make art. Discover guidance through expression.  Painting will be our primary visual method and you may also collage, write, and/or bring in movement.  If you’ve lived for more than two minutes, you are already creative.  No painting experience needed, we'll bring our sense of curiosity and willingness to experiment forward.

    Recognizing the need for space, reflection, and new methods guarantees your situation may have been, at times, overwhelming; you may have been frustrated with the system; and/or sadness may have launched forth unexpectedly.  Yes, indeed and you're not alone.  Vulnerability allowed us to feel and acknowledge our way.  I myself preferred not to. Feel that is—you may have already guessed that didn’t end well.  I learned the hard way; you have better options.

We come as we are.  We gather, work together, rest and recharge.  You’ll have support and guidance.  Insights from the group help us invent new ways to surf changes, honor and support those we love, and make meaning of this life.

To discuss a session that will most benefit your circumstances,

call or text Jan today.  (612)402-7906

"Jan Marie Erickson is an ideal coach for creative people who need faith in themselves to live their best lives.  She's smart, artistic, gifted, and deeply committed to her clients.  Both on the content side, (where invention, psychological freedom, and technical mastery are essential) and on the delivery side (where business skills and long-term planning must prevail), she has the vision and skill to support and inspire those who work with her.  If you know you have something great to achieve, but you need that extra bit of encouragement from a solid supporter, give yourself the gift of hiring Jan."
