16. 1440 Multiversity and its Vision
1440 Multiversity is an amazing place. BE sure to take advantage of it this week. From nature walks to mindfulness meditation, Yoga/Pilates/Tai Chi, the fitness facility, infinity pool, massage and the beautiful spa, it is filled with special places.
Here is the vision of co-founders Scott & Joanie Kriens:
“We wanted to build a place for ourselves and others to explore the unknown, enliven ourselves, and have conversations about things that often aren’t talked about.
A place to be with ourselves and each other, to receive and give energy, to make discoveries, and to tap into our innate creativity, wisdom, and intuition.
A place of safety, revelation, and renewal.”
