In honour of Earth Week this past April, the Creatively United for the Planet Society, premiered Metamorphosis – A Healing Journey as both a live production and a richly illustrated coffee table book, featuring the poetry, images and stories of a number of the cast members who have a deep connection to planetary health and interpersonal well-being.

In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th, we are now releasing this 35-minute video, containing highlights from the 1.5 hour live production.
While there is no substitute for live theatre, this video provides an introduction to the spoken expressions and heartfelt sentiments of those who shared their real life stories on stage under the direction of Monique Salez. Members of the Victoria Philharmonic Choir, with director Peter Butterfield, volunteered their beautiful and haunting voices, while Raino Dance students wove their artistic expression throughout the production.
The production was financially supported by the Gail O’Riordan Climate and the Arts Legacy Fund and the Community Grants Program administered by the Victoria Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who came out in support of Metamorphosis – A Healing Journey and for those who continue to purchase the book as gifts for themselves and others.
“The healing power for the Planet and ourselves is unstoppable and will be realized
through its conscious revelation which is nascent within all of us.”
– Jonathan O’Riordan, Climate and the Arts
