Dreamfish Place Nairobi opening soon!
Dreamfish Place Nairobi is opening soon. Just signed the lease! April 1st, we will be moving in!
What is the purpose of the Dreamfish Place Nairobi? The place gives us a way to support the Dreamfish network, financially, physically and spiritually. Here, you can read about the big vision.
Starting up takes a village! Big thanks to all who have helped to realize the place and welcome Dreamfish to East Africa! Special thanks to Irene Senei, who is putting in a lot of sweat, Charlyn Green Fareed and Sietske van Poelgeest for finding the place, Pauline Kimeu and Robert for making the place guest-ready, Bernard Owuor for our internet, Nancy White and Sue Canney for networking, Jamila Abass and Susaneve Oguya for space visioning, Stephen Nduati and Kenya Super Cabs for transportation, Ahmed Maawy for hacking, and Mel Mbugua for consulting.
Here are three ways you can participate….
Visit! – We are now renting out guestrooms and a guesthouse. The place is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. It is located in Karen area of Nairobi with fantastic 5 acres of gardens for experiential workshops with 100 people, accommodations for 20 people and internet!
Please tell friends and colleagues to consider our available rooms and guesthouses at great rates from $30-79 USD (from 2400 Ksh), including breakfast, internet and open Dreamfish workshops. Guest rentals will financially support the Dreamfish cooperative and with each visit or venue rental, you can support the development of women and youth entrepreneurs.
We are excited to rent the Samburu Guesthouse . 20% of proceeds will benefit the Samburu eco-entrepreneurship project in Dreamfish. This is a response to the current life-threatening drought.
Sponsor a space! To support intercultural learning about global collaboration, each space will be designed in a cultural tradition with help from Dreamfishers from that culture. You can choose a culture and sponsor the design and furnishing of a room, a hut or outdoor area with a donation. Jamila Abass, who is Somali, is designing a small global village with huts built in different tribal traditions in Africa. Guests will be able to stay in the huts on the land. Susaneve Oguya is designing a reflection place in a shady grove with hammocks and benches. All donations of any amount are welcome. Let Irene or me know your inerests.
Pitch in! Big thanks to Sietske and Guy who just donated a washing machine! For real! If you are passing through Nairobi and can bring a few things, we welcome all offers. Here is our wish list. You can also come plant vegetables and flowers on gardening day, tba soon at the local Dreamfish Nairobi meetup
