UCLA SKY Happiness Retreat (in-person) - Application Form
Live & lead with more joy, freedom, and confidence!

The SKY Campus Happiness workshop is a dynamic and immersive self-development retreat on campus for students. Participants learn to develop a personal daily breathing meditation practice, learn stress-management skills, and build life-long skills to cultivate resilience, and address burnout. In the process, students naturally develop deeper social connections.

Thousands of students at leading universities across the country (e.g., Stanford, MIT) say the retreat and its techniques have made them stronger people by reducing stress, boosting energy, improving time management, cultivating stronger interpersonal relationships, and increasing self-confidence.

The techniques and exercises in the workshop are designed to enable participants to fully relax and de-stress the body and mind. It's fun and rejuvenating--it's like a retreat that is totally focused on your current and future well-being!

A study on the effects of the SKY program on undergraduates at UCLA who participated in the program last year showed significant improvements in sleep quality and reductions in anxiety. More info on the study can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qLu4EEkIWzLHPraDw8lIXWGr52s61LRg/view?usp=sharing

A study from Yale University showed that SKY has a major impact on mental health - more than mindfulness-based stress reduction and emotional intelligence training.
