Killian Noe is the Founding Director of Recovery Cafe in Seattle, WA, a refuge of healing and transformation for women and men who have been traumatized by homelessness, addiction and other mental health challenges. Prior to moving to Seattle in 1999 and starting Recovery Cafe in 2003, Killian lived in Washington, D.C. where she was a part of Church of the Saviour and was the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Samaritan Inns, a non-profit providing housing and recovery services. She currently serves as a Pastoral Counselor at Recovery Cafe and also helps groups beyond Seattle start Recovery Cafes in their communities, which you can learn more about here.
