The spring 2020 If You Could See Me participants began meeting in February of this year. They were supposed to have their show in June. As we are all aware this year has been an exercise in flexibility, persistence, acceptance, and patience and our project is not alone in having been effected. These five amazing women have continued to show-up for themselves and one another in truly remarkable ways. We had to postpone and then reimagine what shows would look like but now we are to thrilled share their stories in a brand new virtual format on Friday, January 22nd, at 7:30 pm via zoom.

This week Erin talks to Roger Koller about his recovery journey and his desire to help others find peace and healing.

Roger Koller says this about himself:
I am a person in recovery from multiple life challenges including grief, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. I was born and raised in Richmond and attended Collegiate School, Trinity Episcopal High School and matriculated from University of Richmond in 1994.
However, from an early age I faced issues that I could not understand. Thanks to some poor decisions and bad luck and misinformation, I found myself in recovery environments at the turn of the millennium. I have learned many things along the way, and it is a continuum where there is always something to learn from someone else and something to pass on to others who have reached obstacles on the freeway for which I have found solutions that worked for me, which I am now in a position to share..
I am now a Certified Peer Support Specialist, a WRAP facilitator, a SMART Recovery Facilitator, and have started and led several support based peer groups at different peer-run centers around the Richmond area. I have also had the pleasure of serving on many local peer center boards and committees.
With this non-profit organization, I want to continue to develop solutions and innovations in collaboration with others in the community in ways that both mirror and diverge from what others have already done before me. I hope that we can work together to find more solutions for ourselves and each other.
