KYMfest honors the life of Kymberlee Ann Larsen and of others who have died due to trauma and/or violence. Kym was killed in 2018 in a domestic violence assault and her death drastically impacted our community.
We created this event to shed light on the ripple effect that is the harmful impact of violence and the trauma that ensues. This event holds space for processing this impact.

Our trademark motto, #KindYourMind, an adaptation of our beloved sister Kym’s name, evolved from her celebration of life (KYMfest 2018). It promotes what we hope others see the importance of: a mindset of compassion for ourselves and others over judgment, blame, retaliation, and shame. Choosing kindness over violence.
We believe shifts happen alongside other humans supporting one another and sharing the emotional load.
Have something unique to offer? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
