Thank You for Pausing With Purpose

Yin Yoga + Sound Bath + Tea Social Recap

To everyone who showed up with open hearts last Friday—thank you. Pause with Purpose wasn’t just about slowing down. It was about reminding ourselves that we can’t pour from an empty cup. When we take the time to care for ourselves, we become stronger, more grounded, and more capable of lifting others. That’s the heartbeat of Rising Rose: we rise together. Hosted at Sweat & Soul Yoga Studio and led by our incredible gold rose member, CJ Pellerin of Willow Wellness, this donation-based event helped raise funds for our Health Initiative, providing vital support to individuals in Rockingham County who are in need of care. From the calming Yin Yoga to the deeply restorative sound bath, and the soul-warming tea social—every element of the evening reflected our mission of healing, connection, and impact.We’re beyond grateful for the generosity, presence, and purpose each of you brought into the space.

Self-Care is a Radical Act of Love

When you take a moment to pause, reflect, and simply be—you give yourself the gift of clarity. It’s in these moments that you can hear what your own heart truly wants, and begin to manifest the life you envision. Rising Rose is here to remind you: taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Because when you rise, we all rise.
