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.

During Session 1, participants will learn foundational stress-management and resilience skills as well as sustainable self care practices. Participants will also learn effective strategies for social connection and community building and engage in leadership frameworks, enabling them to develop a personal evidence-based breathing and meditation practice.
