On World Meditation Day, we’re reminded that stillness isn’t something we find; it’s something we practice. Consistent meditation over just 56 days has been shown to begin changing the physical structure of the brain. The scientifically proven benefits are powerful; meditation acts as an antidote to stress, supports the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin, and can help cultivate calm, gratitude, and contentment even in life’s most challenging moments.

Take this as your invitation to begin, or to begin again.

Leadership is not a title, but a way of being. On Global Leadership Day, we explore what it means to Lead Well with presence, integrity, and intention. As a core learning pillar, Lead Well encourages growth that begins within and ripples outward into every interaction. The True North Leadership program guides participants through a thoughtful blend of introspection, skill-building, and connection, helping them reconnect with their inner compass and step into leadership with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

Rickie Byars, a beloved singer-songwriter and 1440 Adjunct Faculty member, has been a guiding voice since the very beginning. She and her choir offered the keynote performance at the opening of campus, sharing a powerful expression of devotion, gratitude, and connection. In June, she returns to the redwoods for the RIGASA Summer Revival: A Love Well Weekend of Music, Joy & Community. She reflects on how this space believed in her and her voice, further fueling her inspiration in her work.⁠
⁠
Rickie is deeply inspired by emotion and the opening of the heart, believing that true devotion grows from that place. She values lifelong learning, especially in love and God, trusting that the more we open, the more love we receive in return. While every space holds meaning, Kitchen Table at 1440 is especially close to her heart; a place of stories, memories, and community.⁠
⁠
Through her music and teaching, she reminds us of the importance of living with an open heart and sharing love.

How many minutes are in a day? Each day gives us 1,440 minutes—an invitation to be intentional with how we live them. In the early stages of this place, our co-creators paused during a brainstorming session, each stepping away to reset and reconnect. In her garden, Joanie picked a perfectly ripe tomato and wondered: how many of these moments do we truly take to slow down and be present? That reflection became the name 1440—and a reminder to notice how you’re using one mindful moment today.

How do you make space for stillness in your day?

Tucked along the landscape, Persephone by Welton Rotz reveals itself to those who move with a curious eye. Inspired by Persephone, she embodies the quiet passage between winter’s darkness and the gentle return of spring. Her presence mirrors the natural cycles unfolding all around: rest, renewal, and reemergence. A reminder that renewal unfolds in its own time.

This garlic confit is a seasonal kitchen staple rooted in the idea that food is medicine; simple, intentional ingredients come together to nourish, restore, and bring depth to everyday cooking. As the garlic slowly infuses with herbs and olive oil, it becomes more than a recipe; it’s a reminder to slow down and care for yourself through what you create in the kitchen to Live Well.

Ingredients:
6 Heads Garlic (or 2 Cups Garlic Cloves), peeled and root ends cut
6 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
3 Fresh Bay Leaves
3 Chile de Árbol Pods
2 Cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions:
1. Peel 6 heads of garlic (or 2 cups garlic cloves) and trim off the root ends.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic, 6 fresh thyme sprigs, 3 fresh bay leaves, 3 chile de árbol pods, and 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil.
3. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
4. Boil the oil on the stove for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then turn off the heat.
5. Set the saucepan aside and allow the oil to cool completely to room temperature.
6. Once cooled, use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic, herbs, and chiles into clean canning jars.
7. Pour the infused olive oil over the solids, ensuring the garlic is fully submerged.
8. Seal the jars and refrigerate for up to one month.

Within these rooms, there is space to pause, to breathe, and to be held as you are. From places of rest to spaces of gathering and learning, each one is shaped with intention and care. Here, stillness and connection move side by side, softened by nature and presence.

Which space would you find yourself returning to again and again?

One of the hearts of 1440 is Pete Delfino, our Procurement Manager. For the past eight years, he has been an integral part of the 1440 community.⁠
⁠
Pete’s favorite part about working here is that there is always something new and exciting. He values the opportunity to work closely with local organic farms, building meaningful relationships and supporting the farming community he has spent most of his life in. His favorite signature class is Stick Tai Chi, where movement and mindfulness come together in a thoughtful, embodied practice. His favorite place on campus is the Mother Tree, a space that reflects the deep connection between nature and 1440, bringing together nature, community, and a shared sense of inspiration and learning.
⁠
Outside of campus, Pete enjoys horseback riding along the trails of Big Sur, immersed in the natural beauty of the coast. Lately, he’s been exploring cooking, learning new recipes, and finding joy in trying something new in the kitchen.
