We envision a Sonoma County with improved mental health and addiction treatment outcomes. One of our goals is to expand recovery spaces beyond traditional addiction-focused peer support rooms. We aim to create sober environments where individuals can develop a sense of belonging, safety, and community—spaces where they can share their struggles openly.
These environments will differ from traditional fellowship rooms by centering around collective passion projects rather than solely focusing on sobriety. Participants will collaborate on shared goals and present their outcomes to the public, emphasizing achievement through action. The vision is to spark a sense of collective pride and purpose—not just through the absence of addiction, but through the presence of meaningful, creative accomplishment.
Additionally, we aim to support youth in need of assistance. Through our specialized knowledge in addiction and mental health, we strive to extend our services to marginalized communities that have not yet been reached by our additional existing programs at Olympia House, which are restricted to individuals aged 18 and above.

Roofing
Our inaugural production of ‘Roofing’ encapsulated the dual narratives of addiction and recovery, articulated through Andrew Conti’s raw, unfinished screenplay. Performed by individuals in recovery, this play offered a unique lens on the struggles and triumphs of addiction.
