Cheryl Strayed and Elizabeth Gilbert Return to 1440 Multiversity by Popular Demand

This rare opportunity is only the second time Gilbert and Strayed have presented a workshop together, following a sold-out event at 1440 in October, 2017. Through interviews with Liz and Cheryl, experiential workshop sessions, and opportunities for reflection, participants will discover how our attitudes, habits, and determination — along with healthy doses of magical thinking — make it possible to keep the faith on our journey and show up fully for what arises.

"We are thrilled to be coming back to 1440 Multiversity to lead this workshop," said Elizabeth Gilbert. "Something I find myself saying to people all the time is to start knowing. What are you waiting for, to know what to do? Let's work together, and open your eyes for you to know."

"I think so much of learning to trust your creativity, and to become a fully evolved human, is believing that your truth will lead you to love," said Cheryl Strayed. "This workshop provides the space to explore and learn to trust our own story."

The all-inclusive nature of 1440 Multiversity is designed to provide an integrated and fully immersive experience. In addition to the program fee of $550, the per-person accommodation rate cover all meals, daily meditation and yoga classes, non-ticketed evening events, and use of all facilities, including the fitness center and infinity tub. A range of accommodation types, from modern, Asian-inspired pods, to premium suites complete with fireplaces and ground-level patios, are designed to meet a range of preferences and budgets. Healing arts treatments, café and retail items, and ticketed events are an additional cost. To register for the course, please visit https://1440.org/program/brave-magic-2018/.

About Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love has been called "a generation's instruction manual" by the Toronto Sun. Translated into more than 30 languages, Eat, Pray, Love has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The book catapulted its author from respected but little-recognized writer to a woman Oprah Winfrey has called a "rock star author."
Fearless reporting skills and appreciation for working-class values color Elizabeth's writing, while a persistent longing to understand the world and her place in it has made her not merely a writer but an explorer. Her writing has been published in Harper's Bazaar, Spin, and the New York Times Magazine. She was a stalwart at GQ, producing pieces that grew into books, as well as the film Coyote Ugly.
Elizabeth's work has received many accolades and esteemed awards throughout her career, beginning with her first book, Pilgrims, a New York Times Most Notable Book and recipient of the Ploughshares prize, among many other honors.
