The Inner Arts Collective presents: Shaping the Future of Healing: Reclaiming the Past; a symposium organized by healing arts professionals for the community at large. Our intention for this symposium is to explore the rich and sometimes painful tapestry of the past, and transform the density that can reside in our legacy into light, so we can weave a co-created, empowering and visionary future.

Our presenters come from across the GTA, bringing performances, teachings, tools, and processes that will set us up as a healing arts community to create lasting change.
