The Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT) course is a 6-month experiential practitioner training designed to support personal growth, creativity, emotional wellbeing, and holistic learning.
Through art, meditation, movement, sound, journaling, storytelling, and creative expression, students explore practical tools that encourage self-awareness, healing, connection, and transformation.
Delivered in a supportive face-to-face environment, HICAT combines personal development with practitioner skills, allowing students to grow both personally and professionally throughout the journey.
No previous art experience is needed, only a willingness to explore, create, and reconnect with yourself through the creative process.
You do not need to be “good at art” to benefit from this course.
HICAT is about creativity, expression, connection, and personal transformation.
