Help Us Support Our Healthcare Heroes Dear friends, When we co-created 1440 Multiversity, we envisioned our non-profit learning destination as a safe place to allow creativity to flourish and energy to renew; a catalyst for individuals to be self-aware and discover their own unique path for growth. Creating hope for living well is the core of our mission, and we continue to embody that mission fully as we answer the call for help in a bigger way – help that was critically needed before the COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives, and even more so right now. That is why we are proud to embark on the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Initiative. Humanity is experiencing a time right now that is uncertain, concerning, and challenging beyond measure. Our frontline healthcare providers are especially vulnerable and need support. As new compassionate connections grow out of this crisis, a renewed love and respect for one another has begun unveiling itself globally. We owe a debt of gratitude to the nurses, doctors, physical therapists, and many others at the forefront of this crisis who are battling significant stress – putting themselves at risk while selflessly sacrificing their own health to preserve the lives of others. Through our 1440 Foundation we developed Healing Our Healthcare Heroes, a year-long healing program offered free to frontline healthcare workers and their guest so they may begin the journey to rejuvenation and self-care. Healing Our Healthcare Heroes consists of an all-inclusive three-day, two-night workshop at 1440 Multiversity and a full-year Online Education & Support Program developed to ensure that participants have the tools and resources they need to truly take care of themselves after they leave campus.
1440 Multiversity is proud to be designated as an Essential Business by the County of Santa Cruz, Office of Emergency Services while partnering to serve as an Alternative Care Site and preparing meals for county shelters. 1440 Multiversity is now prepared to expand our community service even further to offer relief, encouragement, and hope to frontline healthcare workers. The Healing Our Healthcare Heroes program includes educational sessions, contemplative practices, embodied movement classes, nutritious meals, and ample downtime for rest and renewal. These vulnerable healthcare workers will finally have the time to connect with themselves and others in their medical community to learn how the 1,440 minutes that exist in a day can bring more fulfillment and value to their own lives in the same way they bring hope to the lives of others. We thank you in advance for your consideration and support of this important endeavor. Every dollar so generously given to the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Initiative will go towards the funding of this program. We hope you will join us in this effort to prioritize the care of those who so deeply care for us – for many it is a matter of life and death, and with your help, we can dedicate important resources to these heroes to support them living well both now and after this crisis. With gratitude,
Joanie & Scott Kriens

Coming Together to Heal Our Healthcare Workforce The Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Initiative is a year-long healing program that provides frontline healthcare workers the opportunity and time to recover, care for, and connect with themselves to cope with the stress and anxiety of everyday work, now exacerbated by the fear and unknown of COVID-19. Hosted by 1440 Multiversity and born out of a debt of gratitude for the tireless efforts of these providers, this restorative three-day, two-night workshop program at the 75-acre nonprofit 1440 Multiversity campus in the Santa Cruz Mountains and accompanying year of online continued-support curricula is offered for free. It is funded by generous donors, sponsors, and partners in order to support the mental health and physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation of healthcare staff so they can begin to recover from COVID-19-associated stresses.
Urgency In ordinary circumstances healthcare providers are overworked and under great stress. These concerns are significantly higher during the pandemic. Experts predict that 25 percent of healthcare workers in hard-hit areas like Silicon Valley are likely to develop anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress – a percentage rate akin to soldiers returning from combat. Suicides of doctors and nurses have been attributed to the COVID-19 crisis, and experts predict more. Denial, minimizing, and compartmentalizing are essential strategies when coping with a crisis, but they come with a cost. In Silicon Valley and other parts of the country, healthcare workers are self-isolating in hotels or apartments away from their families. They are working to protect us all, yet may feel their efforts are unappreciated or undervalued. The resulting “moral injury” is common in the healthcare field, but is magnified in a crisis like COVID-19.
The physical demands of the job, fear and feeling of exposure, and weight of personal concerns outside of the workplace – especially related to family and loved ones – require top-ofthe-line healing and supportive care during and after this global emergency, which is what Healing Our Healthcare Heroes addresses.
Expected Outcome Participating frontline healthcare workers will leave with a renewed sense of purpose; tools that enable processing of grief and beginning healing; and a sense of deep gratitude from the communities they serve. In addition, some courses will provide CME credits to fulfill hours needed by the healthcare providers. The 12-month online continued-support program will offer participants the ability to further their learning and connection to the subjects they explored during their sessions on campus.
Launch Date
Program Capacity
Programs are slated to launch in Spring 2021. Based on funding availability, there will be six (6) programs per month from which the participant may choose to attend.
In order to adhere to strict social distancing and group gathering guidelines, each program will be limited to 50 healthcare workers and their guest.
Eligibility
Future Vision
Healthcare professionals and frontline healthcare workers are invited to participate through a nomination process or sponsorship. The healthcare professional and their guest are welcome to join the rest and renewal experience to aid in the healing process.
Demand will continue to mount for impactful healthcare-worker healing programs, and 1440 hopes to establish best practices and curricula to scale this initiative nationwide. See the Future Vision section for details.

The Path to Program Development AT ITS CORE, Healing Our Healthcare Heroes is a gratitude project – one that provides frontline healthcare workers much-needed resources, but also allows them to be acknowledged for the selfless impact that they make for others everyday. Each healthcare provider that is sponsored for this year-long healing program will benefit from a thoughtful and comprehensive experience that is tailored to their needs, as requested by their peers. In addition to the on-campus workshop, participants will benefit from a full-year Online Education & Support Program to help them further their healing from home. CME credits are available.
Program Research & Development
Part 1: On-Campus Program
1440 initiated a research endeavor in which it interviewed physicians, nurses/nurse practitioners, advanced practice clinicians, and respiratory therapists from New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties. These frontline healthcare workers shared universal feelings and concerns that they experience, including:
Limited to just 50 healthcare providers and their guest in order to maintain ample social distancing, those who attend an on-campus Healing Our Healthcare Heroes program are invited to participate through a nomination process or sponsorship; the healthcare professional and their guest are welcome to join the rest and renewal experience to aid in the healing process. Once checked into 1440 Multiversity, they have joined a cohort of supportive healthcare and frontline medical workers who are on a journey to heal. Daily faculty content sessions focus on topics born out of significant healthcare provider concerns:
• • • • • •
Fear Unprepared if they fall ill Long-term effect of stress and trauma (Moral Injury) Not able to properly grieve patients Loss of Identity Lack of self-care
From these concerns, 1440 began to design an in-depth year-long healing program consisting of two elements. The first is a three-day, two-night workshop located at the 1440 Multiversity campus in Scotts Valley, California, that includes faculty curriculum, signature classes, wholesome meals, and ample time for rest and rejuvenation in the redwoods. This program is free for the healthcare workers and their guest. The second part is a 12-month Online Education & Support Program that will provide the necessary tools to help attendees deepen their healing from home. The online program is free for the healthcare workers. The goal of 1440 is to create comprehensive curriculum that addresses these identified needs; provides the healthcare worker access to information, skills, and tools to help prioritize and care for their own mental health and wellbeing; and support their families.
• • • • •
Trauma and Stress and Resilience Moral Injury/Moral Distress Recognition* Nutrition and the Immune System Grief and Healing* Hope: Journey to Joy and Growth
Part 2: Online Education & Support Program Upon leaving campus, participants will have the opportunity to further their learning in a supportive online community. Examples of the curriculum learning tools include webinar and podcast series from accredited experts, a video series on difficult conversations, mindfulness apps to help stay centered, Healthcare Conference access, and living will assistance. 1440 will continue to develop the online curricula based on the needs that arise both from the program and global conditions that are impacting healthcare workers.
1440 Signature Classes
•
An important part of the on-campus program is 1440 Signature Classes, curated to help guests re-energize and raise their selfawareness to living a more balanced life.
Art & Creative Expression: Zentangle®, Printmaking, Improvisation, and Celebrate through Drumming

Future Vision and Program Scalability THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION of the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Initiative is a critical part of bringing this service to frontline healthcare workers nationwide, and helping these individuals begin the process of restoring their mental and physical wellbeing. This two-part healing program will be used as a model that can be evaluated, learned from, and scaled to reach other communities that want to help address the many concerns that healthcare workers will continue to face. 1440 will lift the work up to other areas through donating the model and development, which includes: • Creating the template and pilot program with funders, healthcare systems, faculty, and curricula. • Engaging with partner foundations, faculty, and learning centers to collaborate around supporting other interested communities. • Open-sourcing the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes model to other areas around the country. The COVID-19 pandemic is nowhere close to being over, and while the success in flattening the curve in California and other lessimpacted areas of the U.S. has made it possible for some medical workers to take the best care of patients without running out of resources, the patients will keep coming. Frontline workers will continue to put themselves and their families in harm's way as the rest of the community begins to re-emerge from isolation. The need for these caretakers to take care of themselves will continue its urgency, and it is also important for healthcare workers in our communities to feel the deep gratitude of the people they are serving. The goal of the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Initiative is to build a national program of healing that is accessible to those who need it, so the community of healthcare workers can begin to cope with the burnout, grief, PTSD, and other personal impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Healing Our Healthcare Heroes is also a pilot for a larger vision – after 1440 refines its curriculum to launch the initiative nationwide, it will work to create similar programming for additional deserving groups including first responders, teachers, grocery employees, postal workers, and other essential-business heroes who have experienced great stresses of the job during this crisis.
“
I want to thank you all for taking the mental health of the frontline workers so seriously. Our providers are doing so many things well: learning about a new, very complex disease quickly; taking extraordinary care of critically ill patients; nurturing anxious families and loved ones of the patients; then soothing the anxiety of their families back home. Their own welfare is something that may be currently on the back burner. – TRAUMA SURGEON, SANTA CLARA VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER

1440 Multiversity: Our Beginning NEARLY A DECADE AGO, 1440 Multiversity co-creator Joanie Kriens was inspired while tending to and harvesting vegetables in her home garden. In that mindful moment, she was overcome by feelings of happiness, contentment, and joy – for the colorful tomatoes and squash in her basket, the quiet beauty of the land, and the preciousness of life with her family and friends. This heightened awareness and gratitude may have only lasted just a minute or two, yet it had a profound effect on Joanie. It made her wonder how many minutes there are in each day, and how we might all live more self-aware with gratitude for the simple blessings in life. After turning to Google for the answer, the 1440 name was born – little did she know she would find it in her own backyard. Following several years of philanthropic grant-making, the 1440 Multiversity campus opened in May 2017 among the towering redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, stemmed from a desire to establish a beautiful and nurturing physical location where community could gather to explore, learn, reflect, connect, and re-energize. The invitation to participate is extended to all unbound by the range of human differences. While the physical aspects of social gatherings have changed in this time of crisis, our dedication to safely serving our community, employees, and guests remains a committed passion for the 1440 Multiversity team.
What is a Multiversity? Unlike a university, which focuses on the intellect, a multiversity is a place for holistic learning that engages the mind, body, and heart and shapes one's inner fitness. At 1440, we believe that the deepest learning happens when we nurture and awaken all aspects of ourselves. "Multi" represents the many doors and avenues one can enter or exit on their individual journey. "Versity" refers to the social, emotional, and relational aspects of learning that we can use to shape our desires and build more collaborative and connected communities.
By the Numbers 75: Size in acres of the 1440 campus 300: The mile radius from campus that 1440 sources all of its produce and other foods. 775: The number of scholarships that 1440 has granted since the program’s inception in February 2019. 1,200: The estimated age in years of the Mother Tree, which is situated near the Cathedral on campus and is one of the oldest trees in the world. 100,000: Guests who have participated in learning courses on campus since opening in May 2017. 150,000: Number of honeybees that call 1440 home – two more bee colonies were added in May 2020, and each colony produces 50 pounds of honey per year that is used in a variety of 1440 recipes.
1440 Multiversity at a Glance Non-Profit: 1440 Multiversity is an operating 501(c)(3) philanthropic campus – a stay at 1440 supports the campus work of self and society, helps award program scholarships and grants, and fosters the 1440 vision of creating hope for living well. Each financial gift to Healing Our Healthcare Heroes in its entirety – 100 percent – will be used to support this initiative. All-Inclusive: Overnight guest stays include all meals at Kitchen Table (starting with lunch the day of check-in for the Healing Our Healthcare Heroes Inittiative through lunch on check-out day), up to three signature classes per day, and access to all campus facilities including the Healing Arts center, Fitness Center, retail shop, café, trails, and more.
Essential Business Designation 1440 Multiversity has been designated as an Essential Business by the County of Santa Cruz, Office of Emergency Services. In April 2020, 1440 Multiversity and the County of Santa Cruz announced a two-part partnership to provide meals to shelters and service sites, along with establishing an Alternative Care Site. By the end of May, the 1440 Multiversity culinary team proudly and mindfully prepare nearly 40,000 shelter meals to provide individuals nourishment.

Home Away From Home HEALING OUR HEALTHCARE HEROES participants will benefit from a three-day, two-night campus workshop in which there will be plenty of unscheduled time so they can make choices based on what they feel will energize and nourish them in the moment – it’s a “human charging station” in many ways. Using the campus resources as support, guests will have the opportunity to focus on what they need most in order to ease their stresses, all at their own pace. Kitchen Table, Common Grounds café, 4 miles of nature trails, fire pits, and the infinity-edge hot tub are some of the places where guests can rejuvenate and safely connect with others to feel understood, recognized, and affirmed. This shared sense of belonging, combined with free time to spend as they choose, allows guests to feel at home so they can focus on the reasons they came to 1440 — for healing, learning, and much-needed energy to help refocus and enrich their lives long after they leave.
Kitchen Table
Common Grounds Café
The heart of the 1440 campus, Kitchen Table is the dining room on campus where each participant will enjoy three nutritious meals per day. Operating with a “Food is Medicine” approach, the 1440 Multiversity culinary team works mindfully using fresh and locally sourced foods to prepare flavorful dishes for all dietary needs, including gluten-free, paleo, lactose-free, and vegan. Chefs cook with the freshest produce harvested within a 300-mile radius of campus and organic meats and seafood from partners dedicated to sustainable and humane practices. Feel energized after each savory meal at Kitchen Table tooptimize the full program experience on campus.
Common Grounds café offers specialty items for purchase à la carte, from the first cup of cappuccino in the morning to a glass of craft beer or wine to close out the day. Guests can relax in Adirondack chairs on the spacious al fresco patio or on the cozy indoor couches. Enjoy freshly baked vegan cookies and gelato between meal periods, or savor a cup of local Verve coffee, spiced chai, or freshly pressed juices outside by the fire pits.
Signature Classes
The perfect complement to a day of growth, guest rooms at 1440 promote rest and relaxation. Healing for Healthcare Heroes participants will stay in a private room with private bath, and guest rooms are intentionally void of TVs and phones so guests can unplug and reflect. Each building is equipped with Wi-Fi, a water bottle filling station, and a courtesy phone, and rooms can be accessed without using an elevator (which remains available if needed).
A visit to campus gifts the opportunity for guests to explore their passions and interests in a safe community of instructors and fellow participants. Signature classes at 1440 range from creative, to physical, to introspective, and more – all designed to awaken the mind, body, and spirit. During their stay, Healing for Healthcare Heroes attendees may experience yoga, meditation, tai chi, or nutrition classes, or a soothing sound bath to relax into the evening.
Accommodations
Facilities and amenities may vary based on local and state guidelines and mandates. Guests will receive updates pertaining to their stay upon check-in.
Nature Trails A mindful, leisurely stroll along redwood-lined campus trails is a significant part of the integrated wellness experience for guests, helping supplement their program, healing, and self-discovery work. The Mother Tree, an oldgrowth redwood believed to be 1,200 years old, towers over the campus Cathedral, an especially serene place to enjoy a moment of reflection.
Sundries Retail shopping on campus is open exclusively to registered guests, and includes a variety of educational, inspirational, and practical items to complement learning work both on campus and when returning home. A selection of books, clothing, accessories, and jewelry (with an emphasis on local vendors and fair-trade items) is available along with convenience items.
Infinity Hot Tub Located at the Healing Arts center and surrounded by redwoods, the 250-square-foot Infinity Hot Tub is one of the most popular locations on campus. A soak in the steamy saltwater tub, either in the sunlight or beneath the magic of clear night skies in the mountains, is indescribably soothing to the spirit, beneficial to the body, and a memorably relaxing way to round out a day of self-care.
Fitness Center The 1,400-square-foot Fitness Center is well-equipped with weights, ellipticals, stationary bikes, a treadmill, and more. Work out inside with a view of the redwoods or bring props onto the patio to exercise in the fresh air.

Dining: Food is Medicine THE HEART OF SUSTENANCE and social connection at 1440 Multiversity is Kitchen Table. All guests on campus gather in this dining space for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to enjoy freshly prepared seasonal meals that include savory soups, delicious simple-fare options, hearty main courses, and sweet desserts at dinnertime. Kitchen Table was built to hold 450 guests at a time for each meal period – seating has been modified both indoors and outdoors to accommodate plenty of personal space for safe social distancing. A wood-burning fireplace warmly welcomes guests at the entrance to Kitchen Table, and once inside, a variety of dining stations offer dishes topped with organic ingredients and garnishes from Joanie’s Garden on campus, plated and served by the 1440 Multiversity culinary team. Guests then choose a table in the expansive indoor dining area or al fresco overlooking the redwoods. The 1440 Multiversity culinary team – led by Executive Chef Kenny Woods – enjoys a creative approach to seasonal dining with colorful aromatic ingredients that inspire its cuisine. Each week the 1440 Multiversity campus forager procures the freshest products from local growers, and chefs use their harvests to create wholesome, flavorful meals. The nearby Salinas Valley and city of Watsonville are known as the “Salad Bowl of the World” for the abundant produce they grow, pack, and ship across the nation and abroad, and 1440 is blessed to source directly from them. 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 is Medicine” approach, and the team and the guests it serves takes comfort in seeing and knowing where these ingredients originate from. Menus at 1440 vary daily, with gluten-free and vegan options at every meal. All produce is sourced from within a 300-mile radius and often paired with organic meats and seafood from partners dedicated to sustainable and humane practices. From simple fare to wholesome favorites, the 1440 Multiversity culinary team personally plates each meal to preserve freshness – it is their pleasure to surprise guests every day with cuisine that is as innovative as it is nourishing.
Long-Term Commitment to Nourishment 1440 Multiversity enjoys an active strategic partnership with the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative – launched by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition, The Culinary Institute of America, and Dr. David Eisenberg. The principle teachings within this partnership have allowed 1440 Multiversity to implement industry-leading philosophies and best practices into its culinary work. Stringent health and safety measures are in place at Kitchen Table and across campus to ensure guest comfort; please see the Health & Safety section for details.

Kitchen Health & Safety 1440 MULTIVERSITY TAKES EXTREME CARE in its health and safety policies on campus, including in the kitchen. All meals are prepared in a kitchen that is safe, sterile, and experiences rigorous routine cleaning. • Upon arrival to campus, all culinary team members enter through one back door and move through a series of management-monitored no-touch stations to have their temperature taken, wash their hands for 25 seconds, and put on gloves and their disposable mask – all set up in order to avoid cross-contamination. Staff wear procedural or surgical masks only, which further increases the safety of one another and the recipients of each meal. • There are four kitchen zones regulated to minimize movement through cooking areas and to adhere to social distancing; once there, staff deep-clean their area before food preparation begins. Every 30 minutes a timer goes off for staff to wash their hands – staff members average washing their hands 74 times per work week. • The loading dock is accessible by management only, and the dock manager sanitizes every incoming package in a Neutral Zone established for the exchange of goods only. Incoming packages air dry for one hour before entering the kitchen, and prepared meals are placed in the Neutral Zone for the delivery team to pick up and take to their destination. • Food distribution is provided only by staff certified to handle food and beverages. Program participants are required to adhere to all mandated policies and procedures or may be denied access to service or continued program participation at 1440’s sole discretion.

Our personal relationship to our local families and businesses is what drives us still today. We appreciate and value our business with 1440 Multiversity to help the community stay safe during this time. We look forward to providing our community with as much resources as possible.
