The Owl & the Pussy Cat, Sri Lanka & building Creative Dreams brick by brick with Reita Gadkari

Send us a textThis week's guest is Reita Gadkari, a property developer and philanthropist who has supported literacy & numeracy in India, the resurgence of Indian Classical Music, as well as being a champion & backer of International Arts, Music, Theatre, Poetry & Cinema. In recent years she has created the Owl & the Pussy Cat Hotel on a coastal corner of Sri Lanka, bringing poetry, the arts and architecture under one roof. But it's not been plain sailing; being a woman in the construction industry, and a new hotelier when the tourist industry took a hit after a devastating terrorist attack in Sri Lanka's largest city Columbo. Now following COVID-19 she is opening up again with an optimistic and creative vision for the future.Brave New You Tribe podcast host, artist & illustrator Lou Hamilton talks to Reita about Sri Lanka, the NGO's Pratham & SPIC MACAY , about building a property business and supporting the arts. Reita says that we must have the courage to challenge ourselves but that there is no shame in being careful and taking things step by step.  As Reita paints a picture of the quirky corner of the world that she has created she brings us her Story from the Edge.Find out more about Reita's work on https://www.otphotel.com/ follow her on instagram @otphotelJoin our tribe https://www.brave-new-you.com/tribe and follow us on instagram @bravenewyoutribe and Lou @brave_newgirlThanks to Podstar Ltd for producing the series https://podstarpr.com/Music is licensed from Melody LoopsSupport the showBrave New Girls podcast champions women rebel raisers moving mountains for people & the planet.
