We are excited to launch our new Online Wellness Centre which provides online groups, individual art therapy, and expressive arts sessions for healing and wellness. Student therapists are available to help you amplify your creativity and self-awareness, build self-esteem, relax, and come into the present moment through the arts.

As Art Therapists.

Our global circumstances are concerning. Have you fallen into a pattern of waiting, worrying or grumbling? What would it feel like to turn off our news streams and get creative?

Let’s take our power back.

Expressive Arts Class

With different life experiences come different perspectives. I had the pleasure to speak to two former WHEAT students about their experiences in the Expressive Arts Certificate - one a lifelong artist and the other a lifelong educator.

Mark your calendars! The Expressive Arts Certificate begins online in less than a month (November 28).
In anticipation, meet three of our highly regarded Expressive Arts Personal & Professional Practice instructors for the upcoming cohort, via video!

We are grateful to WHEAT student Niki Watt's for sharing her beautiful song and her learning process from her experience in Dr. Kevin Lewis' Trickster Tales: Traditional Cree Stories for Beginning Cree Learners class.
