What is the SKY Happiness Retreat?
SKY Happiness Retreat is our flagship offering, a total well-being training offered to thousands of university students, faculty, and staff across the country.
Participants gain foundational stress-management and leadership skills, develop a personal evidence-based breathing and meditation practice, learn a short personal yoga practice, develop strategies for social connection and community building, and engage in peer-driven service initiatives.
The SKY Happiness Retreat introduces SKY Breath Meditation, an evidence-based meditation practice integrated with breathwork. The retreat features interactive group processes, experiential learning, emotional intelligence training, breathwork, yoga, meditation, and service leadership.
It is also a great place to connect with yourself and meet new people.
The retreat is a holistic experience held over three sessions on three consecutive days. Since each session builds upon the previous one, we encourage participants to attend the entire retreat for an optimal experience.
We understand that unexpected circumstances can occur, and anyone who needs to leave can do so at any point. Participants may also transfer their registration to the next retreat without paying an additional fee.
