Stories of Hope and Healing

Live and video performances of movement, music, art and stories from around the country.

Aspen Dance Connection and the Empowered Voice are excited to present world recognized dancers and choreographers, national and local artists, poets and storytellers who are coming together to champion sexual abuse survivors who’ve courageously come through unspeakable pain and loss to claim who they are and become strong and resilient.

Help us launch the first printed edition of Voices Heard, the magazine that empowers survivors to shatter the silence of their sexual abuse.

We are so grateful for our sponsor Advocate Safehouse Project and supporters Glenwood Springs Ford; Davi Nikent, The Center for Human Flourishing; Versatile Productions and Chris Tribble; Printworks and KMTS for all the financial and in kind support.

Please use their services frequently. We couldn’t do this work without them.
