For her most recent project collaborating with Ryann Holmes, Sara Elise designed and opened Again Vintage in 2024, a brick-and-mortar homewares shop in Brooklyn, NY that bridges the connection between community, design, gut-healing food + beverage, slowness + ritual, and celebrating home as sanctuary.

Again Vintage is a natural extension of Sara Elise's Neurtura coaching practice: the same principles of nervous system care, ease, and capacity-building she teaches through Neurtura, given a physical home. Where Neurtura is the daily practice, Again Vintage is the place to live it— through food that nourishes rather than depletes, ritual and slowness built into the pace of the shop, and a space designed as a sanctuary.

The shop is the home of SUBLIME Coffee + Plant Potions, a cafe concept space that shares award-winning, locally-roasted coffee + espresso, as well as hand-crafted immunity + microbiome-boosting herbal beverages, and an assortment of gluten-free & refined-sugar free baked goods and specialty pastries. SUBLIME also offers a full-time lunch menu, with gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and animal protein options, so there's a nourishing dish for every kind of appetite and body that walks through the door.

The retro, vintage, and antique objects at Again Vintage are interwoven with newer objects in the collection to form an ongoing dialogue centering wander & delight, environmental consciousness, art & style, and intentional design. The found objects are sourced from time spent around The Catskills, as well as through the regular travels of the co-owners to Japan and The Mediterranean, and all contribute to the beauty, ritual, and slowness of a thoughtful homespace.

But really, a thoughtful home first starts in your kitchen, and a thoughtful kitchen starts with your pantry. In that vein, SUBLIME is also home to Pantry by SUBLIME, a thoughtfully curated collection of nutrient-dense essentials that will raise the standard of your kitchen (and the health of your microbiome). The full pantry, like the housemade mylks used at SUBLIME, is free of gluten, industrialized seed-oils, dyes + additives, and refined sugar. Everything has been sourced prioritizing organic, local, smaller, family-, women/GNC-, BIPOC-, LGBTQ-owned farms + brands just as obsessed with what they put in their bellies as the co-founders are.
