  • Can I bring my pet or service animal to 1440?

    Can I bring my pet or service animal to 1440?

    • 1440 follows California law which only allows persons with disabilities to bring trained service dogs and psychiatric service dogs to campus. The protections discussed previously do not apply to emotional support animals or personal pets. California law, like federal law, does not require that emotional support animals or family pets be allowed in public places therefore 1440 only allows trained pets on campus to accommodate guests with disabilities   
    • Individuals who have service animals are not exempt from and must comply with local city animal control and public health requirements, so please be sure your service animal meets all vaccination requirements and is properly registered and licensed. 
    • In California, an assistive animal means a trained animal that is necessary as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability and includes guide dogs, signal dogs, service dogs and psychiatric service dogs. Only a dog that is trained to recognize and respond to an individual's disability-related need for assistance can be considered a service dog.
    • California law allows business owners to require that an assistive animal be (i) free from offensive odors and displays appropriate habits (for example, is potty-trained) and (ii) does not engage in behavior that endangers the health or safety of the individual with a disability or others around them. 
    • Since the ADA does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag or specific harness, it may not be obvious to the 1440 staff that your dog is a service animal. In such cases, we have the legal right to ask you the following two specific questions in support of your well-being:
      • Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
      • What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
    • As the animal handler, you are required to be in control of your service animal at all times. You are also responsible for caring for and supervising the service animal, which includes toileting; feeding; and grooming and veterinary care. 1440 is not obligated to supervise or otherwise care for any service animal.
    • The service animal must be harnessed, leashed or tethered while in public places unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the person's disability prevents use of these devices.
    • Seating, food and drink are provided for customer use only. The ADA gives a person with a disability the right to be accompanied by his or her service animal but 1440 is not required to, nor does it allow, a service animal to sit or be fed at the table.
    • While 1440 does not charge guests any sort of fee for housing your service dog or cleaning its hair and dander, we will assess and charge you for any damage to the room or campus your service animal may cause as we would any other guest.

  • Can a friend or family member stop by to visit me while I am at a program?

    Can a friend or family member stop by to visit me while I am at a program?

    Unfortunately not. Because 1440 must follow established exemption guidelines, we cannot allow visitors to campus, nor can we sell or offer services to anyone that is not a registered attendee. Out of the respect and privacy of those who are immersed in learning, we require all guests to register at the Lodge upon arrival and only such guests are allowed on campus. 1440 strictly abides by and enforces criminal trespass laws as outlined in California Penal Code 602 PC which can lead to penalties of up to six (6) months in county jail and/or a fine up to $1,000.00 if you are caught trespassing.

If we cannot clearly see your badge, you will be asked to display it, so please wear your badge at all times. The badge is also helpful to program organizers from a safety and security standpoint to ensure no uninvited guests are present at your private events. 1440 strictly abides by this policy and enforces criminal trespass laws as outlined in California Penal Code 602 PC which can lead to penalties of up to six (6) months in county jail and/or a fine up to $1,000.00.

Hotels are widely open to the general public and can be patronized by overnight guests and non-guests. 
    • 1440 offers a minimalist approach to design and function and guests of 1440 are encouraged to spend most of their time outside of their guestroom immersed in scheduled learning classes and engaged in designed community building activities - there are no minibars, televisions, phones, coffee makers or room service available in accommodations at 1440. Hotels offer more of the aforementioned comforts and guests are not required to attend classes or engage in learning activities as a condition of their stay. Traditional resort offerings such as valet parking, bell and concierge services are not offered at 1440.

The ADA requires that accessible rooms be "dispersed among the various classes of guest rooms" to provide people with disabilities "choices of types of guest rooms, number of beds, and other amenities comparable to the choices provided to other guests." 
    • Since 1440 is the site of a former college, it is important to note that the campus is situated on hilly terrain, and there is not a continuous convenient accessible pathway between points on campus; however, it is accessible.

All group events must be pre-paid in advance with 50% of the overall program costs funded when the contract is executed. What size event constitutes a group?

    What is the educational requirement of my organization to book a private group or event at 1440?

    Part of the inquiry process for booking a private group or event at 1440 requires answering a series of questions to determine the mission-aligned outcome of your visit to campus. Generally speaking, you must engage in a mission-aligned learning experience (corporate consciousness, leadership training, organizational wellness, professional development, mindfulness, human flourishing, relationship extension, Signature Class participation, etc.) as part of your stay. 1440 is always willing to partner with you to infuse these learning elements into your event agenda or suggest faculty that will help inspire and enrich the world or to create hope for living well for your participants.

  • Are my attendees required to share rooms?

    Not at all.

Any questions regarding housing options by your attendees will be directed back to the organizational contact who signs the agreement. 1440 will answer basic questions related to the types of rooms available that were contracted. Pricing at 1440 is inclusive of not only accommodations, but also meals, learning elements and tuition, therefore is established on a per guest, per room basis unlike hotels where up to four people may share a room at the same price.   Are my attendees required to share rooms?

Unlike a hotel that operates for profit, all proceeds collected by 1440 are re-invested back into the mission work of the organization through a scholarship and grant program to aid those in need. 1440 Multiversity also believes in community building and advocacy work, so a portion of all packages sold support programs such as Healing Our Healthcare Heroes and feeding food-insecure families in our local community.

  • Is there a free-standing restaurant on the campus for a la carte dining?

    Is there a free-standing restaurant on the campus for a la carte dining?

    No. 1440 is an all-inclusive campus which means all meals are included and served at Kitchen Table - the communal dining room and culinary heart of our campus. There is not a free-standing a la carte dining option on campus, so please be mindful that we serve fresh organic plant-forward food geared towards a healthy integrated lifestyle with a "food as medicine" approach to nutrition. You will find food here to be a mainly vegetable-based diet with limited meat and fish protein accoutrements. All guests enjoy the same menu for each meal period and while you can elect to omit the meat or fish from your entrée in lieu of a vegetable protein, there are no other menu substitutions.

    Common Grounds, the campus café and break area, offers limited grab-and-go snacks and specialty beverages throughout the day, but is not a full-service restaurant. All items in the cafe must be purchased separately - including beer and wine which must be purchased from and served by 1440 staff regardless of where it is offered on campus.

    In compliance with the California Department of Public Health guidelines, 1440 does not permit guests to bring or consume outside food or beverage in any public locations on campus.

The vast majority of our food is vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. Ingredients for each dish are pre-determined and three fresh, seasonal, well-rounded meals are plated to order in front of you so you may determine what you prefer on your plate. The culinary team is not able to prepare specialty items to meet individual requests, nor can we risk exposure to certain foods since ingredients for each meal are thoughtfully selected in advance and the dining room is shared by all campus guests. For the health and safety of all guests in compliance with the California Department of Public Health, no outside food or beverages are allowed in any public spaces.

The license strictly prohibits all other alcoholic beverages or spirits from being sold or consumed anywhere on campus which includes anything that you purchased elsewhere and transported onto the campus.   

    1440 reserves the right to confiscate or ask you to discard any alcohol that was not sold by 1440. In extreme cases, anyone who violates these rules may be asked to permanently leave the campus. 

    1440 requires proper identification (photo ID) of any person of questionable age and will refuse alcoholic beverage service if either the person is under-age or when proper identification cannot be produced.   

    1440 may also refuse alcoholic beverage service to any person who, in 1440's judgment, appears to be intoxicated or to persons under the state-mandated age limit that are being served alcohol by any non-campus employee. If any of these mandates are broken, 1440 reserves the right to immediately suspend the sale of all beer and wine to all participants of the group or private event to ensure everyone's safety.

    What is mindfulness?

    Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present - a sense of awareness of where we are, and what we're doing in the present moment while not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around us. Whenever you bring awareness to what you are directly experiencing via your senses, or to your state of mind via your thoughts and emotions, you are being mindful. Growing research shows that when you train your brain to be mindful, you are transforming the physical structure of your brain and doing so can be good for your overall health and wellbeing.

The policy includes the prohibition of smoking cigarettes, vaping pens, pipes, cigars and other tobacco products as well as any other substance. The use of cannabis (including edibles) and smokeless tobacco products (i.e., chewing tobacco, snuff, etc.) and the use of electronic smoking devices (e.g., vape pens and e-cigarettes) are also prohibited. To mitigate the risk of fire or any related damage caused by fire, no open flame is allowed anywhere on campus, including in vehicles and parking areas.

  • What kind of food does Kitchen Table serve?

    What kind of food does Kitchen Table serve?

    The menu offerings at 1440 Multiversity were established with the notion that nutrition is a critical component for physical and emotional health and healing - with that in mind, the 1440 Multiversity culinary team operates mindfully and with a "Food As Medicine" approach, sourcing its ingredients exclusively from local growers. 1440 Multiversity uses a plant-based approach in its culinary offerings with the intention that every guest will enjoy a similar meal regardless of individual eating habits. Some other important dining facts include:

    • All meals at 1440 are mindfully prepared using whole organic ingredients and hand-plated with care by the chefs in Kitchen Table, a communal dining space that fosters social interaction and engagement in conversations that matter.
    • These meals are based on nutrient-dense whole foods as opposed to pre-packed and processed items; this "Food As Medicine" approach increases your metabolism leaving you feeling satisfied, energized and focused, not tired and bloated as is the case with many processed foods.
    • 1440 sources local and organic produce, rice and grains and offers gluten-free alternatives at every meal.
    • When bread is served, loaves are typically baked using grains milled on campus.
    • 1440 has established deep roots in the community and partners with 20-30 local farms - often procuring produce from growers and ranchers at farmers markets to supplement the produce, herbs and flowers grown on the 1440 campus in Joanie's Garden.
    • All other ingredients, such as the sustainable healthy animal proteins that 1440 procures - within a 300-mile radius of campus including fish from Monterey Bay - are raised in their natural environments that produce more nutrient-rich and less inflammatory foods than animals raised using modern industrialized animal production.
    • Many restaurants and commercial kitchens procure their ingredients from national distributors; at 1440 Multiversity, the culinary team and campus guests served take comfort in both seeing and knowing where ingredients originate from so every meal supports local farmers and producers.
    • These home-based partnerships allow 1440 access to freshest seasonal ingredients while supporting, enhancing and strengthening the supply chain across the County of Santa Cruz which contributes to the local economic health of our community.
