SKY Happiness Retreat

SKY Happiness Retreat is a nationally acclaimed 11-hour self-development and life-skills training program offered to thousands of faculty and staff at more than 100 universities across the country, including Stanford, Purdue, and MIT.

Studies have shown that the techniques have helped improve the overall health of adults. Research from Yale University comparing state-of-the-art well-being interventions showed that SKY significantly benefits six well-being outcomes: depression, stress, mental health, mindfulness, positive affect, and social connectedness. Mainstream media has also covered the benefits of the SKY breathing techniques, including, most recently, a TIME magazine article and a Harvard Business Review article. Here at UF, more than 2,000 students, faculty, and staff have benefited from this retreat over the past 10 years. 

With the support of the Student Government, the SKY student organization at UF is pleased to extend a 75% discount for higher education employees to attend the SKY Happiness Retreat, originally priced at $295.
