Grand Opening

✨ Not a Grand Opening. A Gentle Opening. ✨

Drop in whenever you can and stay as long as you'd like.

When Rising quietly opened its doors in March, it felt both exciting and vulnerable.

Rather than great fanfare, it began gently—with a quiet "I'm here."

Over the past few months, friendships have formed over tea, conversations have deepened, and a vision has begun to take shape.

I think of Rising as having been in its cocoon stage. This gathering is our butterfly moment.

Rising isn't loud, flashy, or larger than life. It is a tea house created for connection, reflection, and belonging—a place where tea becomes a ritual that invites us to slow down and reconnect with ourselves and one another.

Join us for tea, conversation, and community as we celebrate this next chapter together.

Welcome to my dream.
Welcome to my third place.
Most of all, welcome to Rising.

I hope it feels like home.

💛 Please let me know if you can make it.
