Welcome to HICAT

Thank you for attending our free creative arts therapy event!


You’ve just experienced the magic of creative arts therapy firsthand… 

  

Whether you felt relaxed, inspired, or just a little more like yourself again, what you experienced today is the heart of creative arts therapy.
And if it resonated with you, there’s a whole world of healing and possibility waiting.  


What is Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT)? 

HICAT is a powerful, heart-led approach that uses painting, movement, sculpture, writing, sound healing, and more to support emotional healing, growth, and personal transformation.
