Together, we can take time to shift the stressful energy that we are all currently walking with, through Connection with the Natural World, and ReAwakening all kinds of sensory awarenesses that we have been Gifted, like our Ancestors before us, to attune to Mother Earth.

We have developed a series of diverse and relevant online spring classes to reach out and support individuals and their communities. We are thinking of you during this time of social distancing and life adjustments resulting from the current global health concern.

What is a Therapeutic Clown?
Therapeutic Clowns Canada is a network of professional therapeutic clown practitioners working in healthcare facilities and communities across Canada. They define a professional therapeutic clown as one who:

·        is specifically trained to work in the health care field

·        abides by a code of ethics

·        is committed to be a regular presence in the health care setting

·        collaborates routinely with other members of the health care team

·        engages in on-going training and development

·        receives appropriate remuneration for the work

"With their focus on the imaginative and the creative, therapeutic clowns offer new opportunities for play and laughter, for self-expression and self-acceptance, for mastery and empowerment, and for moments of tenderness and comfort.

Happy fall!

While many students returned to school this past week, our art therapy and expressive arts therapy diploma students have wrapped up their summer intensives and are moving forward with their practicum placements and online coursework.

From August 19-22, 2018, WHEAT Institute Art Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy Diploma program students studied together under the direction of Victoria McIntosh in the course Indigenous Ways of Knowing Through the Arts.

The days are longer and warmer, which means WHEAT's summer courses have begun! In June we held our final weekend together with our (first!) graduating Art Therapy Diploma cohort. We are excited to host a graduation celebration in the fall.
