Art Retreat for Caregivers on the North Shore of Lake Superior with Jan Marie Erickson, September 8-9, 2023
Are you caring for loved ones living with Alzheimer’s or brain conditions? Retreat to feel inspired by this creative community and place and restore your sense of self.
The retreat will be held at the gorgeous Stonegate on Superior, Whitecaps House, Two Harbors, MN, Friday, September 8 and Saturday, September 9. Schedule: Friday 10 am – 7 pm and Sat. 10 am – 4 pm.
Make. You want time to regain your sense of self, flow and joy! No prior art experience is needed, only a willingness to experiment.
Reflect. You’re overtired. Tired of dealing with feelings of overwhelm. We’ll learn from each other and practice methods of moving through grief and challenges. Investigate new options that might work for you.
Be. Caregiving requires oodles of energy and you dearly miss being among nature and in creative community. We’ll give ourselves the space to center our minds, bodies, and spirits.
If any of these descriptions resonated with you, give yourself or someone you know this restorative, refreshing experience!

Make Your Day
Thursdays, 3-4:00 pm Central Time Zone via Zoom
Free event offered quarterly: July 28, October 27 (2022), January 26, April 27 (2023)
Reclaim key elements that bring you calm and more joyful moments along the way. The problem is, I can’t tell you what will bring you joy at this time–I may not even realize it for myself. That’s why I use mini-collages as a method to cut through my overwhelm and discover what my current “joy of the day” might be. Bypass *shoulds* to what is and allow yourself to feel more joy even under great stress.
Register for this free session by sending your interest, date of event, name and email via contact form. (on Contact Page)
