https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/banyan-tree-yoga. Namaste Banyan Tree Family🙏🏾 We trust you are all doing well despite the challenges of this global pandemic.
As you know, we have not been able to continue business as usual this season. Banyan is empty and we miss you all being here to make the place feel alive, beautiful and vibrant! 🌺
Sadly, the Banyan Tree family have had to face another set of extraordinary challenges during the Covid situation. As well as being unable to generate salaries for our staff team, our landlord, to who we have paid rent for the last ….. years, has unfairly changed his agreement with us, without notice. This has left us heartbroken and with no other choice, but to pack everything down at Banyan Tree in Mandrem, with immediate effect.
This is so disappointing, as Chinu and I had worked so hard to grow our home, business and provide a peaceful retreat for you all.
The situation created by our landlord, was unprecedented, as too was losing our working seasons due to covid restrictions. We have therefore been unable to prepare for this ongoing crisis, which we now face.
We love running Banyan Tree Yoga and would love to continue to work with all of you – All the retreats, groups and TTC , that makes Banyan Tree the incredible place it is.
What this means, is that we are now in the process of trying to rebuild from scratch and move Banyan to another site, so we can thrive once again. As you can imagine, this is a difficult process, which will take time and money to find an appropriate location and establish everything we need to.
Therefore, we are reaching out to our network of friends for any possible support. Initially, we would like to ask for contributions to support with finding a new site, afford safe storage for our property etc. and then to support the establishment of a new Banyan Tree Yoga retreat.
We would also like to offer an opportunity for investors to share in some of the business, so please, we would love to hear from you and talk about any ideas you may have.
A friend of Banyan in the UK, has set up this fund raiser. Please share far and wide, as this is not an easy task.
Please get in touch if you feel you could contribute in any way, it would be great to hear from you and we thank you all, for anything you feel you can provide x We will keep you up to date of any progress. Until then, Blessings and Light from Goa and your Banyan Tree family x
