As Art Therapists.

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.

"What I love most about the Arts, is together we are able to experience a powerfully transformative hands-on experience, where we are simultaneously able to create a healing space to acknowledge and release stored inter-generational trauma, and reawaken our Ancestral resiliency, while deepening our connection to Mother Earth creatively, ceremonially, practically and metaphorically.
