Inspiring people

It's been a fabulous couple of months at Global Tribe. There is a wonderful energy and buzz about the place.
The café has a new summer menu which is simply gorgeous.

Click here for the new menu http://shop.globaltribecafe.com/

The Vegan Tofu hot dogs are going down a storm, as are the Caribbean Black Eyed Peas with Jerk Asparagus and Sweet Potato and Corriander Mash.


And the Raw Malaysian Curry with Cauliflower Rice.

We are so proud of the creative team in the Kitchen. There is soo much that we want to do. But as they say patience is a virtue.
We had a team meeting before the menu went live. Everyone brought a few ideas to the table. There was so much good food to chose from.
After we had sampled all the food, we wittled down the options to our current menu. Everyone of the team brought some inspiration to this new menu.
Thanks to feedback from our clients in the café, Facebook friends and the team. We introduced the vegan hot dog as well as the Tart of the Week and the Salad of the Week, just to keep things changing and more creative.

The Shop continues to go from strength to strength. We are so fortunate to have such happy and talented people in the building from Annaly, Emma, Collette, Donovan, Mario and Bev in the shop. And Phil, Sid, Hazel, Collette, Mandy and Donovan in the café.
And
I just love coming to work and hanging out with such a great group of fabulous people, and that's the customers as well as the team.

Emma's therapies Bliss at Global Tribe, continue to grow beautifully with some delightful clients. She has extended her list of services with Collette now doing Reflexology and Tarot readings and Hazel also doing Tarot readings. These as all services with Bliss Therapies are by appointment only. You can speak to Emma in the shop or visit her facebook page.

And you will find Collette and Hazel in the café.

Many thanks to Ryan and Louise, who have created the Spiritual Book club, which continues to grow in strength, trust and love. It is wonderful to see their smiley faces for breakfast once a month.
We had our first poetry evening last month and it was very well attended. We hope that it becomes a regular thing.
The music nights and themed menu nights have been very popular. The evening menu nights have been fully booked every time we put one on. We plan to begin the evening schedule in September.
There have been some great meditation workshops run in both the café and the shop over the last 8 months and they continue to bring more like minded people together to search more deeply about themselves.

So all in all, the whole Global Tribe building is working really well together to produce a wonderful atmosphere to both visit and work in.

Love,

Mario

SPRING



SPRING

 
 
Haiku Poem
'Ice on the side walks
A discarded Christmas tree
Shelters the sparrows’
 
 
You may think it strange that I've called this post SPRING then show you a winter scene.
Well there is a reason to this madness, as it will all unfold. Please read on.................
                                                          
Goodbye 2012, hello 2013 and hello winter!

So many people I have spoken to are so relieved that they got through 2012 (with a huge sigh of relief). They are also very optimistic about this year.  Whether this is wish full thinking or informed with  astrological knowledge or even psychic foresight, I don’t know. I do think however, that so many people are looking forward with positive attitudes, hope and endurance (learnt from last year, that they can survive  just about anything) that the potential for this year to be great, is real. A collection of good thoughts and intentions by many, could only be a good thing for great things to happen. 'A smile creates other smiles as you walk down the street, then this too spreads.'

The  world  can throw  up many challenges. Already we have seen Jessop’s the high street store chain close, also Comet has now ceased to exist.  HMV is now in the firing line. Perhaps more will follow, but what does this mean?

 Like everything in life and death, it’s just another cycle. Even though some cycles that end can be very painful, what comes from this can be a great opportunity, for healing, growth,understanding or even change.  It’s like spring, new shoots will appear and new life, new ideas, innovations, new businesses will open with anticipation of what will happen. I see this year to be very exciting. It’s a year of potential, giving it a go. If there is something that you really want to achieve, why not do it now? We do not know what the future will bring as there are so many surprises in life.

These challenges in life can appear and feel like the end of our own world, but when perceived differently can be a great opportunity for change. There is nothing wrong with starting again time and time again, after all we have spring every year and winter every year too. There are many cycles, some are short and some are long. Being flexible within yourself, your actions and your ability to adapt will set you in good stead for these unpredictable times. There is only one life so look after your health, physical and mental, be kind and gentle to your self, be patient,  give your self every opportunity to be and do what you want. Every situation will have different perspectives.

A discarded Christmas tree may seem sad, reflecting upon the past, where it has been, then forgotten. From another perspective, it has been given a new life as shelter for sparrows.

Wishing you all a truely wonderful 2013.
