Hey Folks,
We hope you're enjoying the summer and the rediscovered freedom. We haven't posted for a while and for good reason.
"Meet me by the Baobab tree" aka BAOBAB is almost 5yrs old and was birthed by Györgyi and I in December 2017, we started building it in July 2017.
Like kids, we made it freely, wanting to make a beautiful and inspiring place for people to meet.
With unbridled hopes and aspirations, it was both a dream and crazy idea. Putting in great sacrifice with heart and energy.
The last 5yrs have been a rollercoaster ride, having great and important experiences, whilst navigating difficult times and a pandemic...
Looking forward, we have new aspirations and dreams, with a wonderful family to do it with.
It is time to give to those things.
"Meet me by the Baobab tree" will close its doors permanently on May 31st. It was a hard decision but necessary.
We learned a lot from this chapter of our lives.
One being that you can positively change the world around you, even if it is for a fleeting moment.
The memory of your actions will live on in some shape or form. We will continue in this spirit but in another form, in another place. This chapter closes at a time where the world has changed considerably, with difficult challenges ahead.
Wisdom, care and strength is symbolical of the Baobab tree. Today, the world needs us more than ever to take from those symbols and use them in our everyday lives.
We thank our families, friends, supporters and "Stammkunden", we love this word! "Stamm" which translates to root, each one of you were in deed the roots of this tree.
