A Love Well Weekend of Music, Joy, and Community: June 4-7, 2026

RIGASA Summer Revival at 1440

“Blessed Always Blessed Always – for the arms of God surround us. Let our Joy be so triumphant – that we Rest in God and Say Amen. Let our Joy be so triumphant that we Rest in God and Say Amen.” ― Rickie Byars

Find joy, healing and inspiration on June 4-7, 2026, as you join an uplifting and transformative revival learning experience guided by beloved retreat master Rickie Byars alongside an extraordinary band of devotional artists and wisdom keepers. Hosted among the ancient redwoods of the 1440 Multiversity philanthropic campus, the RIGASA Summer Revival invites attendees to come with an open mind and heart for a weekend of grounding and energy as you let the music sing through your bones.

Rickie’s healing devotional music is sung and cherished in spiritual communities worldwide, and through hands-on workshops, discussions and time in nature, we’ll immerse our hearts and minds in the joyful tones of Love—not just to sing, but to release what no longer serves us and embrace the truth that life is happening now. RIGASA is an acronym for Rest In God and Say Amen, a song lyric penned by Rickie, and this Summer Revival is a call to celebrate our connection to Source, revive our spirits, reboot our energy, and redefine our collective purpose. Join your voice with others, cheer each other on, and experience the freedom of harmonizing our destinies. Joy is what it’s all about in this program that embodies creating hope for living well
