Tree of Life
Is a symbol of a fresh start on life, positive energy, good health and a bright future. For the recovery community, we are taught to grow our roots deeper into the fellowship and community, yet grow and expand our branches into our self and spirituality.
As a symbol of growth and strength. A tree starts out with shallow roots that strengthen and grow deeper over time. Branches start as small buds and stretch upwards, reaching for the sun and sky. As a tree grows, it weathers storms and is battered by the forces of wind and water. It’s branches may break and grow back in a different direction, or the very soil beneath it will erode away, causing it to grow even stronger roots to hold on. Each hardship that it weathers, causes its roots to grow deeper and stronger and its broad life experiences shape the branches into a being that is truly who you are. And each tree is growing into its own unique and beautiful self. Just like this tree, a person grows stronger over time and strives for greater knowledge and new experiences.
