1440 Multiversity has been selected as the site for a multi-year case study dedicated to corporate social responsibility, employee wellness and human flourishing. The research will be performed by an educational institution and the resulting best practices of the study will be published and made available worldwide for public use to optimize health and human performance for all.
This is an exciting opportunity for our organization to inspire and enrich the world. At the same time, we ask for your support as availability of traditional weekend Rest & Renewal stays, workshops and other programming will be limited and offered exclusively via our Events Calendar.
1440 has established a waiting list for private mission-aligned group events and continue to support our flagship advocacy programs such as Healing Our Healthcare Heroes, True North Leadership and Healing Our Education Communities in support of our philanthropic community building efforts. If you would like to provide a grant, donation, or support any of these important initiatives, please email CreateHope@1440.org.
Please accept our deepest gratitude for your continued support and understanding of this important research – an impactful way to commemorate our five-year anniversary this May! And to our dedicated 1440 staff: Thank you for your grace, resilience and commitment to forming an authentic community that expresses deep hospitality through a genuine love for our guests and one another.

I have been fortunate over the last 15 months to have the chance to slow down, reflect and just "be." I am so grateful to those who have been working the front lines, keeping me and my loved ones safe and nourished, and I am also thinking carefully about the new normal I plan to cultivate. I don't relish the idea of ramping up to my pre-pandemic over-scheduled life and I'm committed to not fall back into the patterns that don't serve my updated life.
While these days of living within the boundaries of an invisible fence have been challenging in many ways, a life in quarantine brought many gifts. The sum of it? I'd like more still and more C.H.I.L.L.
Here are the things I intend to retain in the days ahead – long after the masks, sweats and slippers become a distant memory, and I hope they inspire you to take the same look at your life to establish inspiration for moving forward in a new refreshed way.
Going forward I won't squander the gifts discovered through the pandemic. Instead, I will consciously exercise my power to choose – leaving in my rear-view mirror the tiring commutes, waiting in traffic, large impersonal gatherings and busyness that often made up my life pre-pandemic. Here's to a C.H.I.L.L. balance of 2021, filled with creativity, introspection, healthy eating, walking and quiet evenings at home. Wishing you all an abundant post-pandemic harvest.
If you are also seeking time to reboot and recharge, consider joining me at 1440 Multiversity for a long, slow and reflective weekend with a small group of like-hearted women and men on August 27-29, 2021. Learn more and register here.
