Christen Lien creates experiences intended for deep processing and provides artistic medicine for healing and reconciliation. Her tools are original music, storytelling, dialogue, and visual media, and she aims to illuminate the power and transformation that happens when we better understand the shadowy aspects of life and recontextualize their symbiotic relationship to the light. Christen has presented her music and perspectives for audiences of children and young adults; at prestigious gatherings for world leaders in governance, entrepreneurship, and technology; for underserved communities; and for formerly incarcerated men and women. Institutions such as the TED and NEXUS networks, the United States Institute of Peace, MIT, international museums, and renowned healing centers have embraced her work and thought.
