The Transformation Festival brings together singers and musicians, trauma survivors, therapists, visual artists, spiritual healers, movement specialists, and others to perform and share strategies and testimonies to the human spirit’s ability to heal. The festival was inspired by Carman Moore and Lotte Arnsbjerg’s anti-child abuse song cycle GIRL OF DIAMOND MOUNTAIN. Each event in the Transformation Festival speaks to triumphing over trauma and victimhood.
