Hi everyone,
It’s with mixed emotions that we announce today that both ODE and will soon be closing their doors for the final time. Our lease is coming to an end and we have decided it’s time for us to begin a new chapter of life…
We want to extend the deepest of thanks for the 14 years of incredible support, joy, and love that we have received from you, our dear community. It has been the most phenomenal journey, there are few words to really convey this.
The birth of ODE store happened more recently in this journey, but it has been an absolute highlight that we're so thankful to have done. It was a vision I'd had for a number of years, so seeing it come to life was magic. The world of beautiful, quality, sustainable options is only going to continue to accelerate, so we're going to love watching it continue to evolve 🌏️
Without question, another absolute highlight for us both through all the years, has been the people; we have had the privilege of meeting such an incredible number of very special souls - guests, staff, and beyond - that have changed our lives for the better in countless ways. What a gift. Our sincere thanks.
FINAL TRADING
And so, here we go! Both the store and the restaurant will be trading for just under 3 more weeks through to Sunday 14/5/23. As fate would have it, this takes us through to Mother’s Day for our final day of trade. A beautiful little synchronicity.
We invite you to come into the store for a browse and grab that special something that you might’ve had your eye on before it’s gone!
And if you would like to join us in the restaurant before we finish up, we’d absolutely love to have you and encourage you to book a table (via 's bio). If you have a gift voucher that you’d like to use, please do come on in during these final 3 weeks.
WHAT'S NEXT?
As many of you may be aware, our venture (originally as The Raw Kitchen) actually began in nutrition education back in 2009! We were so eager and passionate about all things healthy, sustainable living and really just wanted to be sharing this with others…and so we kicked it all off teaching raw food workshops to anyone keen to learn.
Before even this, Heath’s background has been unwaveringly committed to holistic health education for over 25 years, and continues to be to this day. So our new venture is something of a life-work for Heath; a true accumulation of 25 years worth of deep diving into the forefront of holistic health, and bringing this into an unprecedented online course, making it accessible to learn the foundations that will set you up for optimised health, lifelong.
I (Em) am so thrilled to be working on this project alongside him, and am also excited to be going back to study. AND, above all, I’m immensely looking forward to spending more quality time with our beautiful boys. Life is precious.
We will certainly share more on all of this when the time is right, but just wanted to give you a little sneak peak of where we’re heading for this next step in life’s journey.
OUR SINCEREST AND HEARTFELT THANKS AGAIN.
Warmly,
Emma and Heath
