Meet Your Guide: Charmaine Husum

Hi! I’m Charmaine Husum, RCAT, MTC, CT, DKATI — a Registered Art Therapist and Somatic Counsellor. For over 12 years, I’ve been helping people prepare for and integrate psychedelic experiences.

In my private practice, Centre of the HeArt, I work with folks one-on-one (both online and in person on the traditional lands of Treaty 7) and have facilitated integration groups across Canada, the US, and Peru. My work focuses on supporting healing from trauma, depression, and anxiety through:

  • Art Therapy & Somatic Counselling

  • Kundalini Yoga & Meditation

  • Sacred Geometry & Dream Work

This year, I’m honored to be presenting at several international conferences — including IEATA, AATA, and CATA — sharing what I’ve learned about the intersection of psychedelics, art, and healing.

I’m also the author and illustrator of Sacred Geometry Visionary Art and the upcoming Psychedelics & Art Therapy: A Workbook & Manual for Somatic Self Discovery (Routledge, 2025) — with endorsements from some of the pioneers in the field like Stan and Brigitte Grof.

You can check out my books, online courses, and more about my work at www.centreoftheheart.com.

What to Expect

Each week, we’ll come together for live online sessions where you’ll be guided through creative art-making, body-centered practices, and integration exercises. These sessions are designed to help you:

✨ Prepare for or integrate psychedelic experiences
✨ Work with trauma, anxiety, and depression in a safe and creative way
✨ Learn tools for self-reflection and emotional regulation
✨ Use art-making as a way to access insight and transformation

No art experience is necessary — just bring your curiosity and something to make marks with!
