Description

The SKY Happiness Breathwork Retreat is a total well-being and resilience training program over 3 consecutive days for leaders, educators, clinicians, and community organizers. SKY’s experiential curriculum includes the acclaimed SKY ®Breath Meditation practice, breathwork practices, embodied somatic experiences, emotional intelligence training, interactive group processes and mindful leadership. Research shows that SKY Breath Meditation significantly increases well-being, mental health, deep sleep and positive emotion, while significantly reducing depression, anxiety and stress markers.


Session 3 will focus on group processes. Participants will learn about and engage in processes that build positive community. Participants will learn to use the techniques taught in each day of the retreat to create a sustainable self care practice.
