1440 Multiversity Launches 1440 Discovery Weekends

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern learning destination 1440 Multiversity celebrates its first anniversary this Memorial Day weekend with the launch of 1440 Discovery Weekends. Designed to introduce guests to the many facets of the state-of-the-art, 75-acre campus nestled among ancient redwood groves in the Santa Cruz mountains, the Discovery series is curated to facilitate connection, creativity and embodiment, and to deepen our relationship with nature.

"As our community has grown, we have heard the call for a new type of experience that bridges the space between a spa, a vacation, and a retreat," says 1440 cofounder Joanie Kriens. "With 1440 Discovery Weekends, we invite anyone curious about how a weekend getaway can help you learn more about yourself, to come and participate in innovative, experiential learning sessions on everything from art and writing, yoga to meditation, and even gardening or hands-on cooking classes making creative, organic food in our new Teaching Kitchen."

1440 Discovery Weekends will kick off with a 3-night event Memorial Day Weekend 2018, the one-year anniversary of 1440's opening. While each weekend will differ, all will include signature elements including:

• Intention setting and exploration
• Mindfulness meditation practices
• Forest bathing
• Live music and/or thought-provoking talks with 1440 faculty and guests
• Art and creative expression (painting, writing, cooking, etc.)
• Embodied movement (yoga, qigong, tai chi)
• 10% discount for Healing Arts services

With ample time for creative exploration, guests have access to all of the amenities of 1440 and are invited to mix and match different elements to build a specially curated experience that works for them. 1440 Discovery Weekends are priced from $325 (2-nights) to $395 (3-nights) per person, plus accommodations. Like all 1440 experiences, rates include all meals in the seasonal, market fresh Kitchen Table, access to the Fitness Center, optional additional classes, and four miles of forest trails. Additionally, Discovery Weekend guests will receive 10% off spa services at the Healing Arts Center.

1440 Discovery Weekend programs will take place alongside 1440's roster of signature programs led by thought leaders in the fields of leadership, relationships, and self-empowerment. For the inaugural Discovery Weekend over Memorial Day, guests will have the option of attending iconic couples therapist Esther Perel's evening talk, The Future of Love.

A range of room types, from modern, Asian-inspired single-person 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 certain ticketed events are an additional cost.
