There’s a reason spirals keep appearing in nature. They visually represent growth; not as a straight line, but as a winding, ever-unfolding journey. Our Ammonite Fossil, the oldest fossil on campus, offers an ancient reminder: growth is rarely linear.

A powerful symbol of ancient wisdom, the ammonite invites us to embrace the twists, turns, and returning paths of our own journey. In the spirit of Wonder Well, we’re reminded that there is always more to discover, learn, and wonder about as we create hope for living well.

One of the hearts that makes 1440 so special is Layla Mahallati, a member of our Program Planning + Design team. Her favorite part about working at 1440 is the people she collaborates with and the shared purpose of creating experiences that inspire growth and connection. Whether participating in Sound Healing or taking a mindful moment at the Bridge of Intentions, Layla embraces the practice of being present and helps cultivate that same sense of intention throughout our community.⁠

Today, we’re celebrating National Nonprofit Day and the organizations creating meaningful change in our communities every day. As a nonprofit philanthropic campus rooted in creating hope for living well through immersive learning, connection, and opportunity, 1440 is deeply grateful to walk alongside partners doing vital work to support our neighbors. Because every program booking at 1440 contributes to serving our community through scholarships and volunteer services, each guest on campus also helps create an energy of hope. Together, every experience and relationship generates a ripple effect that extends far beyond our redwood canopy. Here’s to the people and communities making a difference, and to the endless possibilities of what we can cultivate together.

Our Live Well learning pillar teaches us that every meaningful connection we build in the world starts with the relationship we cultivate with ourselves. Resting your body, quieting your mind, and stepping back from the constant noise isn't stepping away from your life; it’s how you restore your energy.

Today, grant yourself permission to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be. How are you creating space to recharge today?

From the moment 1440 Adjunct Faculty member Tony Skrelūnas first stepped onto campus, he felt a deep sense of connection to the history and healing that lives in our redwoods. Tony – a storyteller, global systems architect and author of Stone Breath: Ancestral Code for Modern Lives – believes that caring for our communities begins with preserving the stories, traditions, and knowledge that connect us across generations, creating a future rooted in both abundance and sustainability.⁠
⁠
Tony finds inspiration in conversations with cultural leaders from around the world, exploring food preservation, language revitalization, and ancestral cultivation practices. Through these shared experiences, he has become even more aware of the role we each play in honoring the wisdom of those who came before us and ensuring it continues to guide generations to come.⁠
⁠
Through storytelling and teaching, Tony invites us to slow down, embrace curiosity, and deepen our connection to the wisdom that shapes us. Join him for an immersive community workshop on August 28, August 29, or both, as he explores reflection and knowledge we carry forward. Together, we’ll consider how what we preserve today can help shape a more connected, resilient tomorrow. Learn more through the link: https://www.1440.org/events.

Each heart of 1440 helps make our campus the special place it is, and one of those hearts is Jason Schwintosky, our Maintenance Technician. This September marks one year since Jason joined the 1440 team.

Jason's favorite part of working at 1440 is being surrounded by the Santa Cruz Mountains, where he enjoys exploring the land and serving as a steward of its natural beauty. It's no surprise that his favorite Signature Classes are the hiking experiences that invite others to connect with nature in the same way.

He's also passionate about supporting our Helping Hands program, one of 1440's philanthropic initiatives that gives back to our local community. When he needs a moment to recharge, you'll often find him by the creek near the Cathedral, one of his favorite places on campus because of its calm and healing energy.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys skateboarding, attending concerts, spending time with his family, and caring for his home garden. Lately, he's been exploring the works of different literary authors and learning about different language models.

A moment of stillness. A deeper connection. A reminder that we are part of something greater. On World Nature Conservation Day, we’re reminded that Living Well is deeply connected to the world around us and that small acts of care can create a lasting impact.

Did you know humans can distinguish more shades of green than almost any other animal? It's a beautiful reminder of how much there is to notice when we slow down and spend time in nature. Through Wonder Well, we create space to reconnect with the world around us and discover the small moments that help us live well.
