🤩✨ 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧!! ✨🤩
We are suuuupeeeerrr excited to announce that the TEA TREE is re-opening this season 🙌!
For the new folks who aren't so familiar with the Tea Tree, here's a little summary of what the Tea Tree is all about:
The Tea Tree is an inclusive and welcoming sanctuary that nurtures connection, growth and creativity behind the guise of a plant-based, whole foods restaurant.
𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗦, 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗔 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗥 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠:
- Live Performances
- Movie Nights
- Our Famous Chiang Mai oR****iC Music Jams
- Open Mics
- Workshops, Presentations and Discussion nights
- And More!
These epic events attract earthlings from all walks of life from musicians, poets, long term expats, the curious traveller, cute cats, adorable puppies to even the odd frogs!
It's a space for new and seasoned residents of Chiang Mai to regularly gather and bask in good vibes together 🤙 and we found that it would naturally cultivate a sense of community, family, and belonging 🏡
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗔𝗧:
This is now Tea Tree 3.0 and we have learned and grown a great deal since Tea Tree 1.0
🏡 We've secured an incredible piece of land in the heart of Pong Noi and we are currently working on the restaurant design plans with some of Chiang Mai's finest minds.
There are eco-builders, restaurateurs, social entrepreneurs and more all actively supporting us in the journey.
We've dreamed up the future vision of what the Tea Tree would look like and have included a photo of the design.
Here is a list of some of the ideas we're dreaming of for the future of the Tea Tree and we invite you to dream along side us and share your ideas with us too ✨:
- Large Restaurant Space (Doubles as a Main Event Space)
- Sauna
- Cold Water Dipping Pool
- Outdoor Shower
- Clay Fire Pizza Oven
- Vegetable Garden
- Separate Workshop Space for Smaller Groups with some Accommodation
- Ping Pong Area
- Fire Pit
- Grassy Chill Out Area
- Hammocks
- Natural Product Store
- Pond & Fountain
- Kids Playground
- Community Tool/Gardening/Storage Shed
👉 In order to get the restaurant completely built, furniture and equipment, appropriate legal structure set up, and cover staffing for 2 years while we refine and grow the Tea Tree to the point where it can sustain itself on it's own, we need to raise a total of 2.1 Million Baht.
We'll gradually be working towards all the other goals above in the not so distant future.
We are currently in talks with several individuals who are very keen to support the Tea Tree financially and we've potentially got over 1 Million Baht in funding so far (not yet 100% confirmed and we're still in discussions).
We're open to speaking to other people who would also be interested in contributing and being part of Tea Tree story (with perks) so if that's you or someone you know, please reach out to us via PM :)
𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗠𝗔𝗣?
In the upcoming weeks, we'll be making one more announcement to begin crowd funding within the community along with the perks received in return for different contribution amounts.
We're hoping to complete the fund raising rounds, complete the build and open the Tea Tree doors by November/December if we're being optimistic and are fortunate enough to be under ideal conditions!
🙌 𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗗𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥! 🙌
We're calling on the help of our community to be part of this next Tea Tree so we'd like to invite everyone who feels called to, to post in the comments section below a specific skill or way/s that you'd love to offer up help and support for the Tea Tree so that we know which Tea Tree Heroes to call upon when the right time presents itself.
Some examples (graphics design, interior design, photographers, juicy back rubs, menu ideas, capable arms and legs, painters, garden connoisseurs, fluent in Thai, a people gatherer, charismatic speakers, DJ's, etc)
