The SireniTea Shoppe Project

Welcome to the SireniTea Shoppe, our crowdfunding project to create a physical location for Siren School.




Greetings!

I'm Joy, Headmistress of Siren School. I'm a veteran entrepreneur with experience in retail and have owned a shop, a tea room and a fine dining restaurant.

The SireniTea Shoppe will serve as a base of operations for Siren School activity and the training that is part of the various entrepreneurial opportunities we offer.  Here, we will be able not only to host events and serve treats, but the shoppe will:

  • sell hand-crafted wearable and decorative goods lovingly created by artisans in the siren community
  • serve as a training hub for our Li'l Mermaids Poise & Porpoise program including our Shared Treasure Hunt kids' philanthropy project
  • generate proceeds to be donated to The Untouched, benefitting women who've experienced domestic abuse
  • allow us to hire staff as well as train 'interns' of all ages who could use some assistance with social graces and business skills

What We Need & What You Get

Based on my previous experience, the 50,000 we're striving to raise will go towards rent, gently used equipment and furnishings... maybe even a little merchandise, though we're prepared to acquire that on consignment if need be.

Because we have an existing business and fan base, we have some pretty spiffy perqs to offer -- at least we like them.

Depending on the amount raised during our campaign, we will either seek an actual investor to make up the difference, or put the funds toward existing Siren School programs that could use a boost.

Risks & Challenges

Eateries are always a risky enterprise, but food service is just the beginning of what we intend to do with our space. We have classes, workshops and special events at the ready that are patiently awaiting a place where they can be offered.

Other Ways You Can Help

Siren School was created to help women realize how beautiful and valuable they are.. right now... as is... and to help those who've lost their joy to reclaim it. We'd be honored to have you join us, in any way you can -- whether as a donor, a fan, a Salonniere, Siren Soirees Producer or Fantasy Fitness Instructor. Welcome to Siren School -- where education is an adventure in self-discovery

Four years later...

Cake for everyone today!!!

          This is a big day for me. 4 years ago TODAY, during a yoga class, the idea for Fantasy Fitness (originally called the Joy of Dance) was born. It's taken a whole lotta life detours, interstate moves, and stalls to help others with their businesses and even deal with health issues, but FINALLY what has evolved into Siren School is coming to fruition and poised to officially launch in September. I am so humbly grateful for every needful step in this mammoth undertaking and twisting sojourn, and can only imagine what wonders the next 4 years will bring. With so much love for our sweet siren community, 

Joy

Siren School Hosts Nationwide Jane Austen Event

Fans unite in local groups and via videochat to celebrate their beloved author over afternoon tea

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                                    
August 04, 2014                 

USA — While last year’s fetching frock may no longer be in fashion, the popularity of some styles never wanes. Such is the case with the works of author Jane Austen. Women just can’t get enough of her and her iconic characters.  At the ongoing and rabid request of Austenites, women’s wellness organization Siren School is throwing a party in Austen’s honor, and everyone is invited, regardless of location.
An Austentatious Afternoon Tea will be held in tea rooms throughout the country as well as in households and even online. It all takes place Saturday, November 8th, 2014 at 11am PST / 2pm EST.  The event will kickoff with a ceremonial global, group toast whereby participants may tune in via live videochat to lift a cup together.  Planned as an annual event, the theme for the inaugural tea is Pride & Prejudice.  Games and trivia will be provided to all hosts and guests are encouraged to don bonnets and gloves, as well as sport parasols and handkerchiefs.
Siren School Headmistress Joy Devivre describes the event this way: “For years I’ve been hounded to do some sort of Jane Austen event. Finally, our new Salonniere Sarah Gates of the San Diego Sea Jewels salon talked me into it.  It was originally meant to be a quiet little tea party to welcome new members. It quickly took on a life and scale of its own, and I’m pleased as tea punch to see how it’s evolving.”
Austen enthusiasts may choose from a variety of participation options:
·      Regional Siren School Salons ie chapters
·      Local participating tea rooms
·      Private parties at home
·      Live videochat via Google+. Drop in anytime during the 1.5 hour event
·      Facebook event page chat. Images and comments will be posted before, during and after the event

If a rich aunt insists on spiriting you away to her country estate for the weekend and you’re forced to miss the event, not to worry. Emma and friends are already planning next year’s tea for the second Saturday in November.
Siren School is dedicated to helping women discover (or re-discover) their value, beauty and joie de vivre.  Activities include the regional Salon program, Siren Soiree theme parties, Mythic Adventures themed getaways, Fantasy Fitness theme dance instruction, special interest workshops online, and Plunder – the student rewards program.
