About The Meta Experience:
The Meta Experience threads the visual and healing arts together as a way of exposing people to the world of creative wellness. It began as a way for artist and holistic practitioner Helina Metaferia to blend her two professions. After years of teaching meditative arts classes, exhibiting her art, and offering wellness services, Helina created the company with the intention of spreading her message on a larger scale.
The Meta Experience now offers its creative services in the Washington, DC and Baltimore area. Our art exhibitions and wellness workshops are held across the nation. We are committed to inspiring and educating people on the transformational healing that creative wellness can offer.
