TYR heads to Burning Man 2016!
Channel: Transforming Youth Recovery
Date: 06/10/2016

This year Transforming Youth Recovery (TYR) created an art installation for Burning Man 2016. This interactive art installation will be a safe place for people to reflect on inspirational ways to address addiction and recovery in a positive and loving way.
This introspective and inspirational art piece was built in the shape of an octagon with a giant lotus on top. The lotus symbolizes the seed beginning in the mud and darkness and finding the strength to rise to the light in order to fulfill its highest purpose of becoming a beautiful flower.

Each of the eight doors enter into a private space with a theme related to recovery. For example, one of the doors is named “My Natural High Is” and another door leads into a room entitled “Sober Is.” Guests are encouraged to leave personal, inspirational messages in each room of the exhibit on the writing walls inside each door.

TYR conceived this piece to raise awareness about the true nature of addiction, and to re-frame the conversation about how best to support our loved ones who suffer from this devastating disease. In everything we do, we advocate for people seeking to achieve and maintain their recovery. We believe that even one person lost to addiction is too many, and that we must do better to create a safer, healthier future for our children.

TYR’s art installation was located at 4:00 near the Esplanade at Burning Man.

Transforming Youth Recovery is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides solutions for those impacted by the disease of addiction and is investing in the future of our youth and adolescents by bringing research, programs and awareness and transforming the pathway to new solutions for a lifetime of recovery.
