People. Art. Recovery. Community.

Real People.
Brighter Tomorrows.

The Clarity House is a community space for recovery, creativity and connection. We believe in people, in second chances, and in the power of art, mindfulness and community to change lives.

Recovery at The Clarity House

Mindfulness Recovery Group

Connection. Support. Real conversations.

Our programs

More than programs.
A stronger community.

Different paths. Same purpose.

Mindfulness & Free Flow Art

No instructor. No pressure. No expectation to create something “good.” Free Flow Art gives people a place to create simply for the act of creating: a positive coping tool, a chance to slow down, relieve stress and be present. Art program times are fluid; check our social media.

Flow Water Program

Hydration. Health. Dignity. Free drinking water for people and families experiencing water insecurity, every Saturday from 1:30 to 3:00 PM, with delivery available for veterans, single parents and rural residents.

Kids Breakfast (twice a month)

A healthy start for brighter days. Twice each month, The Clarity House provides free breakfast for children and families in our community. The program was launched with charitable grant support and now depends on people in our community helping us keep it going.

Live Music, Events & Bookings

Live music, comedy, poetry, art shows and community gatherings. You can also book the house for your own show or private party, and a percentage of every booking goes back to Leah’s Free Food Bank & Pantry.

A real place

This is what community looks like.

Some people come here to create. Some come because they need support. Some come to listen. Some come because they simply don’t want to be alone.

However people arrive, the goal is the same: give them a place where they can belong.
