Q&A

CoworkParadise and Covid

Bali

We only leave for Bali when there are no restrictions like quarantine anymore upon arrival. We get our information first hand. Entrepreneurs who want to attend CoworkParadise in Bali are put on a waiting list and when we know more we contact them. The waiting list is growing, so contact us in time. We can only have 10 entrepreneurs in one group.

When we host retreats in Bali, we ask you to sign a weaver, stating you are aware of the situation and you yourself are responsible for taking extra health insurance. Of course we will help you in every way we can, when we are there. We know our way around.

Europe

In Europe we wield the same policy. When we host retreats in Europe, we ask you to sign a weaver, stating you are aware of the situation and you yourself are responsible for taking extra health insurance. At this moment (May 2022) passengers are not tested for Covid when they enter Croatia.

To us everybody is the same and welcome, with or without Covid vaccinations.

Our retreats cannot be canceled, but of course if we are not able to leave because of changing Covid situation, you will receive a refund. But not during a retreat.

Will there be access to fast internet

Yes, having access to high-quality internet is important. We will provide you with a local sim card. Most of the time the accommodation is equipped with a high-speed WiFi connection. In addition, in Bali membership to an amazing coworking location is included (not in Europe). All our coworking partners provide supreme quality internet as well.

Will I have some time for myself

Yes, there will be time for you to work on/in your business or new ideas. We'll take care of a very nice accommodation, the food, and a matching group. We organize the group sessions, sessions with the coach and trips, and provide you with information for upcoming workshops or other activities. It's your choise how you plan to fill your day. You are free to take a day off, if you like. However, the idea is that we are all there to work on our various businesses, from a different place and thus a new point of view.

What does a typical day in CoworkParadise look like

Although every day is different, we've tried to list a typical day in paradise for you:

In Bali:

7:00 AM - 8:00 AM | Breakfast at the accommodation
08:00 AM | Setting the scene during a daily start-up. A quick meeting to talk about everyone's individual goals and to see if you require advice from others in the group.
08:30 AM | We offer you sports, yoga, or meditation.
After 09:30 AM | Most participants tend to go to work in the coworking area.
Around 12:00 PM | Lunchtime in the coworking area.
Around 4:00 PM | Several times per week, we plan the Mastermind sessions at the end of the working day. On other days there will be business workshops in the coworking area and sessions with the business coach. Also, you will meet other entrepreneurs in the international network and visit locations. During the sessions, topics vary, depending on present knowledge and requests. And of course, we visit trendy beach clubs, see marvelous sunsets together, discover other beautiful things about Bali or drink a Bintang beer near our pool.
Around 7:00 PM | We'll take you to one of the best Bali restaurants for modern and traditional food. Every day we discover a different restaurant.

1 or 2 surprise trips are included (depending on the duration of the retreat). Besides these trips, there are no plans for the weekends. You’ll feel free, reload your battery, and have an awesome time with entrepreneurs from all over the world! There will be a lot of time to spend on your business, and you get lots of energy and ideas to boost your business.

In Europe:

We do not use a coworking area. We can work in the villa or in the cafes nearby. We will offer more sessions during the day, because of the shorter period of stay. Every entrepreneur has a chance to present his /her entrepreneurial journey and to state their topics on which they want to be advised. We do want you to have time to spend alone or with others, so this is not a program in which every hour will be planned.

What do I need to prepare myself, prior to a retreat

Once we've found a nice group and retreat for you, we'll send you multiple emails including all the details. Things you should prepare in advance, are:

For Bali:

Book a flight to Bali + send us your flight details so we can pick you up at the airport in Denpasar
Make sure your passport is still valid for another 6 months after the return date of your CoworkParadise retreat
International insurance coverage for damages and international health insurance
An international driver's license. Scooters are the easiest, quickest, and most common form of transportation on Bali. We'll show you how to use one on the first day of your retreat
Vaccinations (next to Covid several vaccinations are mandatory), starting 2 months before coming to Bali. There is no malaria in Bali.
Bring an extra mobile phone or one with dual sim.
Upon arrival at the airport, you buy a Visa On Arrival, you pay in cash dollars. So bring about 35 dollars.
It depends on the current situation if you will need a Covid test or not. Bring cash dollars for this as well.

For Europe:

Book a flight to Dubrovnik or Split and book a shuttle and boat ticket, we will stay on the island of Korčula in Croatia from Sept 10th - Sept 17th, 2022 ( we will explain to you how) + send us your details so we can pick you up at the harbor of Korčula.
Make sure your passport is still valid for another 6 months.
International insurance coverage for damages and international health insurance
An international driver's license.
Bring an extra mobile phone or one with dual sim card.
For entrepreneurs from outside of Europe, check if you need a Visa on arrival.

What should I expect in terms of food

For Bali:

If you have been to Asia before, you will probably know there's a great love for food. We’ll make sure you experience the local specialties but also enjoy the upper-class restaurants in our area! Canggu is full of great places to eat! We’ll show you around. Breakfast and dinner are included, as well as the non-alcoholic drinks in the accommodation and during dinners.

For Europe:

There is a great love for food in Croatia as well. We take you to several restaurants where local specialties can be tasted. Some have stunning views. We ask people with special diet wishes, to bring this forward and there will be a way to honor this. No problem. Breakfast and dinner are included, as well as the non-alcoholic drinks in the accommodation and during dinners.

What is included in the price

Aside from an amazing learning experience with like-minded successful business owners - it's quite a full-package. Your package includes a nice accommodation with a private room, double bed, and bathroom, a coworking space membership, Bali breakfasts and dinners, scooter training and rental, workshops, several trips, and parties, one yoga class, meditation class, Bootcamp at the beach and one surf lesson, a one hour massage, local sim card, and a welcome package.

What type of people will be joining in on my retreat

Following our intake conversations about skills, business-levels, and ambition - we'll match personalities, companies, and expertise. You should be able to speak English. We'll look for diverse groups of ambitious men and women from all over the world. 🌍

What is an Open Mastermind

An Open mastermind is a retreat in which we do not ask for a minimum turnover. Entrepreneurs with less years of experience can attend this retreat. This is at specific dates, mentioned on the website as "Open Mastermind".

Are there age restrictions when it comes to participating in a retreat

There is no age limit. We've had people from 18 to 65 participate in our retreats. It's not about age, gender or country - it's about having an open mind. What connects all of us, is the ambition to level up our businesses, to grow and to have a good time.
