RISE - Philadelphia

We are a group that teaches the basic craft of bread-making to create meaningful community. While the bread "rises" we offer unique and empowering workshops and presentations for those who are seeking meaning, connection, and the opportunity to rise up in service and stand up for justice. Examples of previous workshops includes self-defence, on mental health and relationships, beginners yoga. The bread we make together then goes directly to local organisations that are combating food insecurity in our beloved city of Philadelphia.

Serving others is one of our values, and if it’s one of yours, we want to collaborate with you. We know, too, that in our unstable world, people are eager to have earnest conversations and organize for work around pressing issues that affect the well-being of all. RISE wants to share in that dialogue with anyone who will meet us at the table—no matter who you are or where you come from.
