Wonder Well in the redwoods as you engage in Lunch & Learn at 1440 Multiversity, a new offering designed to help you find inspiration out of curiosity.

In this unique Lunch & Learn you will learn the art of Zentangle, a fun and easy way to draw structured patterns that create beautiful flowing images. Facilitated by Certified Zentangle Teacher Cynthia Balthaser, the mindful and relaxing Zentangle Method makes drawing patterns - or tangles - accessible to all skill levels since tangles are created from basic pen strokes. Meditative as it is artistic, you will experience increased focus, calm, creativity and well-being as you draw your tangles in community with other like-hearted individuals. Afterward Zentangle, dine on a delicious, sustainable and locally sourced lunch at Kitchen Table featuring global cuisine prepared by our 1440 Culinary Team.

Deeply nourishing and highly enjoyable, Lunch & Learn at 1440 provides a fulfilling opportunity to connect with yourself and other like-hearted community members while creating hope for living well.
