Killian Noe, Founding Director of Recovery Cafe in Seattle and the Recovery Cafe Network nationwide, joins the conversation this week. Killian tells her story, how the Recovery Cafe embraces and cultivates an atmosphere of belonging, love and acceptance particularly among vulnerable populations. We talk about what the #blacklivesmatter movement and George Floyd uprisings have meant for the community and what it means to lean into concrete change as an organization. We also talk about some of the policies that make cities like Seattle so difficult to inhabit, from marijuana policy to criminalization of homelessness and Amazon-inspired gentrification. *A personal note from Casey* I really hope you catch a glimpse of the presence that Killian Noe brings to the world. Her kindness, vision and radical hospitality flows out of a deep love for God and an ability to recognize his image in her neighbor.

What Are Sobriety Choices

Killian Noe is the Founding Director and Pastoral Counselor of Recovery Cafe. It's an incredible place, a successful model, of helping persons struggling with addictions and mental health issues. It's successful--because the need is great. To meet the demand the Recovery Cafe is expanding. The original location is on Denny & Boren. A new RC is opening in SODO in January. There are 22 locations across the country. It's a special place to volunteer. And financial support is well used. An excellent place that could use our tax deductible donation. www.recoverycafe.org

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the United States, a day in which we are supposed to feel grateful and thankful for all that we have. For a grieving parent, feeling thankful seems like a foreign concept, a distant memory. After Andy's death, those grateful feelings are slower to come. They can still be there, but they are buried under the heaviness of grief. Although everyone thinks about being thankful on Thanksgiving, there is another half to this word. The giving half is often overlooked. Even though feeling thankful is difficult, for me, giving is easier. Today's guest, Derek's mom, is a very special woman indeed. Her son, Derek, battled addiction for almost 18 years before dying at the age of 32 from a drug overdose. We talk a lot about those years of struggle and the ups and downs of their relationship. She had days when she never wanted to speak to him or others when she never wanted to let him go. She ached for him to stay clean, and continued to have hope that one day, he would. Unfortunately, that never came to be. On January 8, 2018, Derek died of hypothermia and drug overdose after being found in a park. After Derek's death, Theresa says she turned inward, isolating herself from others. She went to work, but rarely went out otherwise, preferring to stay home in her grief. Then, something truly amazing happened to Theresa. She got a little bit of her hope back and started thinking about giving back to other addicts. She visited The Recovery Cafe located in Seattle, Washington and felt inspired by what she saw there. It was a place that offered hope to people like her dear son. It was then the idea for Derek's Place, A Recovery Cafe was born. The motto of Derek's Place: On January 8, 2018 my Son, Derek, lost his 17 year battle with addiction. Derek felt hopeless and he was full of shame and guilt because of his addiction. Derek’s Place is a safe place for people, like him, to come and receive understanding, compassion and hope. Even though they have not officially opened their doors, they are already providing hope and healing to to the homeless by giving out free meals. She already has stories of people she has helped. I am truly excited to see her vision come to fruition, and the doors open. On this Thanksgiving Day, I think of her giving heart and of the thankful people that this organization will be able to help. I am thankful also, for The Recovery Cafe in Seattle and other similar organizations throughout the country that focus on giving hope to the hopeless. For more information, visit Derek's Place on Facebook. Derek's Place, A Recovery Cafe, Inc Website is still under construction, but Theresa can be emailed at dereksplace1818@gmail.com. Donations can also be mailed to: Derek's Place PO Box 888802 Grand Rapids, MI 49558 All donations are tax deductible

All of us want to belong, to be a part of something or some place where we are valued, where our contributions make a difference and where we are appreciated.  We all want a place where we can nurture and grow our relationships and where we are supported in our struggles and share in our successes.  In short, we all long for community.  Unfortunately, people experiencing homelessness and addiction have a hard time finding that place to belong.  Many have been ostracized by family, friends and neighbors.  Over time, they might lose their own sense of worth and begin to believe that they have nothing to contribute. Fortunately, there are organizations, like Recovery Cafe, that provide a space for people to find their community.  A space where deep relationship can be built, where healing can take place and where people can rediscover their worth. Recovery Café is a community of individuals who have been traumatized by homelessness, addiction and other mental health challenges coming to know themselves as loved with gifts to share. Find out more at www.recoverycafe.org or visit them on Facebook or Twitter.  Follow me on Social Media for up to date information.  You can find me on Facebook (@nonprofitluminaries), Instagram (@npluminaries), Twitter (@npluminaries),  and LinkedIn (@Nonprofit Luminaries)

On Episode 36 I'm talking to Theresa Adkison, the founder of Derek's Place (Facebook). Theresa talks about her son Derek from his rambunctious boyhood, through the ups and downs of his adolescence, to his adulthood as a father and hard worker. Through the whole story, she talks about how substance use disorder was also part of his story. Derek lost his battle with addiction in January 2018.I cannot tell you how honored I feel that Theresa trusted me with her story. She is an incredible person who walks with grief and loss everyday. She has chosen to use her story to help others and has big dreams for Derek's Place, a Recovery Cafe. I know you'll want to support her in this work. Derek's Place is modeled on a Recovery Cafe in Seattle. Theresa wants to create a space for people who struggle with homelessness and substance use disorder where they feel seen and loved.Theresa talks about a book she loves called Read It Till You Believe It. She carries this powerful little book around with her. It would be the perfect gift for someone you know experiencing loss and grief. She also likes the boo You Are Enough. If you resonate with Theresa's story, you might want to connect with Families Against Narcotics.Theresa talked about her favorite things including getting a pedicure, spending time with family and friends, traveling, her grandchildren and being near the ocean. She also talked about how helpful art therapy has been through I Light Art Therapy Studio.Theresa's story is so powerful. I hope you'll listen to each and every word of her story because there is someone you know that is also living the stress and grief and loneliness of substance use disorder. Take the middle seat! They need you to see them and listen to them.
