Space is limited to a maximum of 25 guests who are at least 21 years of age or older. Due to the small, intimate nature of the group and to foster a like-minded community, each guest is carefully vetted and a preliminary phone call takes place to ensure all questions are answered and guests feel completely comfortable and connected to our team before joining a getaway. In this process, notes are made so that guests who are sharing a room can be paired together based on common interests.
New getaway locations are always being scouted! Places like the Caribbean, Thailand, Spain and Greece are at the top of the list to be added to the repertoire. New suggestions are also always welcome if you want to send them to us through the contact page.
The Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) is the biggest animal charity in Bali and they are responsible for saving the lives of thousands of homeless animals every year. The Getaway Co. partners with BAWA each year during the Live With Purpose getaway to create an event to raise money to help BAWA in their mission to educate the locals, rescue injured and homeless animals and create programs to sterilize dogs to reduce the population problem.

The main three benefits to engaging in a plant-based lifestyle that are regularly discussed are: 1) the obvious benefits of not participating in the extreme animal cruelty that goes hand in hand with factory farming (meat, dairy and any animal products) 2) helping to repair the environment by avoiding the environmental devastation that factory farming causes and 3) the improvements in health that often occur by engaging in a plant-based lifestyle.
