Janet Akers

Treasurer

Having previously served on the board of directors for the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi and the Vicksburg Art Association (Vicksburg, Mississippi), Janet was right at home when she joined the New Dream Foundation board. One of her major projects has been ensuring NDF is compliant in each state for receiving donations.

Janet was searching for a community of like-minded individuals to help her explore her spiritual path, when she found her way to New Dream Foundation’s Sacred Feminine Awakening programs. In addition to her responsibilities as treasurer, she offers her artistic perspectives when needed, such as in the development of the Sacred Feminine Awakening website. As an artist and teacher, she enjoys using these two skill areas to support NDF in helping others journeying along their own spiritual paths. Janet is also an initiated Keeper of the Sacred Feminine, has a great love of the outdoors, and has a deep connection to the earth.

Janet enjoys being in nature, and creating magic through art.
