A Third Space for the Soul: Inside Connecticutâs Exclusive Wellness Speakeasy
If youâve been craving connection without the noise⌠ritual without regret⌠and a vibe that nurtures instead of numbsâyouâre not alone.
Welcome to Velvet SipsâConnecticutâs first members-only botanical lounge built for professionals, wellness seekers, and sober-curious souls who want a better way to unwind.
This isnât a typical âsober bar.â Itâs a sanctuary. A third space for your soul.
đĽ What Is Velvet Sips?
Tucked away in the heart of Connecticutâs Manifestation Valley (think Naugatuck, Seymour, and Ansonia), Velvet Sips is a kava speakeasy designed for those who want:
-
Functional, botanical drinks that restore and ground
-
A beautiful, low-lit space for intentional connection
-
Evenings that feel like an exhale
-
Rituals that relax without the risks of alcohol
No kids. No hangovers. No pressure. Just clarity, calm, and conversation.
đ§âď¸ Born From Vision. Built With Intention.
Velvet Sips was created by someone whoâs walked both worldsâas a former executive navigating high-stress leadership, and as a mindful, self-aware human who's redefined what presence means.
Iâve lived the hustle. Iâve lived the hangovers.
And Iâve built something different because I needed something different.
This isnât just an extension of my other venture, 3-21 No Kiddinââitâs an evolution.
For those who want more than a retail experience.
For those seeking depth, beauty, and belonging.
For those ready to redefine how they gather, sip, and socialize.
Velvet Sips is for usâthe ones who are done settling for social spaces that donât feed the soul.
đż Whatâs in Your Glass?
At Velvet Sips, we serve botanical brews rooted in ancient traditions. Every drink is crafted with purpose:
-
Kava â known for its heart-opening and anxiety-reducing properties
-
Ashwagandha & Adaptogens â to melt stress and restore balance
-
Lionâs Mane, Reishi & Functional Mushrooms â for focus and grounded energy
-
Non-alcoholic cocktails & elixirs that support your body and soul
This is drinking reimaginedâwhere you feel better after, not worse.
