Communities are transformed through artistic practice and education.
We can transform communities if we provide creative educational experiences that strengthen life skills which empower people to evolve.
About Us
Founded in May 2019, The Healing Academy is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization committed to transforming urban communities through education, creativity, and healing. Our work is rooted in a passion for uplifting and empowering individuals and families through holistic, culturally relevant programming.
From our very beginning, The Healing Academy has focused on creating meaningful experiences that address healing, education, and community connection. Our signature offerings include:
- Afterschool Enrichment — engaging youth in creative arts and education as a pathway to healing and self-expression.
- Life Skills Training — equipping participants of all ages with practical tools for personal and professional growth.
- Self-Care Offerings — creating intentional spaces for participants to nurture their minds, bodies, and spirits through restorative practices.
Our mission is to transform communities by offering education that inspires minds, transforms bodies, and rebirths the soul.
We see a world where communities are transformed through artistic practice and education.
