Geshe Kalsang Damdul, our beloved visiting Buddhist monk, shared with us the symbol represented as the graphic for this year’s event and the words "Grow Expand Heal Shine". Among many lessons we learned, he told us that this is the Tibetan translation for "Recovery". Each word powerful alone, but when put together, the four words capture what recovery could look like, if it were to come to life .

Portraits of Recovery is an annual event at Amethyst that celebrates the mission of Amethyst, the commitment of our women and the power of recovery.

This years event will feature:
