Why We Recommend 1440 Multiversity

Designed for transformation and growth, this serene redwood campus invites your team to slow down, think deeply, and build meaningful connections, both with each other and the natural world.

Venue Highlights

immersive Forest Campus

Surrounded by towering redwoods, the property is designed to inspire focus and clarity. From stone-lined forest paths to open decks overlooking the trees, every corner invites calm and connection.

Versatile Event Spaces

Indoor rooms include the Redwood Auditorium (4,300 sq ft for up to 600 guests), Outlook Room, Sanctuary Room, and dozens of smaller spaces ideal for workshops, keynotes, or small breakouts. Outdoor venues include the Forest Cathedral, Redwood Amphitheater, lawn terraces, and garden nooks—all immersed in nature.

Tech-Free Comfort

Guest rooms are intentionally free from TVs and phones to encourage unplugging. Rooms range from simple and modern to premium suites with forest views. All include organic linens, Wi-Fi, spa-style bathrooms, and eco-conscious touches.

Wellness & Healing Programs

The Healing Arts Center features massage therapy, bodywork, hydrotherapy, and private reflection spaces. Additional wellness experiences include daily yoga, meditation, forest bathing, breathwork, and journaling circles—all customizable for corporate groups.

Easy Access from the Bay Area

Only 15 minutes from Santa Cruz and about 1–1.5 hours from San Jose or San Francisco, the property feels like a world away without requiring extensive travel. Group shuttle service can be coordinated for seamless arrivals.

Custom Retreat Options & Versatile Event Spaces

1440 supports custom programming with expert facilitators in leadership, resilience, creativity, and communication. Whether you want yoga in the morning, design thinking after lunch, or fireside reflection after dark, the team will help shape your schedule.

Communal dining brings guests together over nutrient-rich, locally sourced meals. Menus change seasonally and include gluten-free, vegetarian, and clean-protein options. The dining hall promotes connection, while cafés and lounges offer quieter break areas.
