BROOKLYN, N.Y.<\/span>,\u00a0July 27, 2021<\/span>\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Getaway<\/a><\/u>, the hospitality company that offers mindful escapes to cabins in nature, and\u00a0Rachel Cargle<\/span>, author, speaker and activist, are announcing today they are recommitting to\u00a0A Year of Rest<\/b>\u00a0to continue to support the critical work taking place in the Black community by offering access to nature as a refuge. A Year of Rest is a long-term initiative designed to make rest more accessible for everyone. In partnership with Mailchimp, Getaway and\u00a0Rachel Cargle<\/span>\u00a0will provide another 365 nights of rest for Black people working for change and those fighting for the Black community. The nominations are open starting today,\u00a0July 27<\/span>, through\u00a0August 9<\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0getaway.house<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

“My history with rest has always been one of reward. I had to do something, perhaps extreme, in order to feel like I was deserving of rest. I wanted to take action in shifting that narrative for myself and others,” said\u00a0Rachel Cargle<\/span>. “A Year of Rest creates opportunity for members of the Black community to take time they may not typically dedicate to themselves to rest and recharge.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Getaway first partnered with\u00a0Rachel Cargle<\/span>\u00a0to launch the initiative in\u00a0June 2020<\/span>\u00a0after her stay at Getaway when she experienced first-hand the benefits of disconnecting after a tumultuous first half of 2020. When Getaway initially announced 100 Nights of Rest, the company received over 3,000 heartfelt nominations in the first few hours – nearly 8,000 nominations total – and the initiative was extended to A Year of Rest to provide one year’s worth of free nights to people who were nominated by friends, family and colleagues. Last year, Getaway selected a wide range of recipients including human rights attorneys, Neonatal ICU nurses, activists, poets and yoga instructors.<\/p>\n

“Getaway has always strived to be a place where people can feel safe while enjoying time in nature and connecting with loved ones. It has always been important to the company to provide rest and access to nature to those who need it most and those working towards change,” said\u00a0Jon Staff<\/span>, Getaway CEO and Founder. “This year, thanks to our partnership with Mailchimp, we are thrilled to recommit to Year of Rest by again providing 365 free Getaways to those in the Black community fighting for change.”<\/p>\n
