Nicola Gracie
Nicola Gracie is a high school dropout turned lifelong student who recently completed her second Master’s degree in Therapeutic Arts Practice at the MIECAT Institute. Her thesis and final year of studio time explored how therapeutic arts practices can support the integration of expanded states of consciousness, particularly those accessed through ceremonial plant medicine. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity, emotional intelligence, and community healing, with a deep commitment to arts-based research.
