SKY Happiness Retreat, geared specifically for college-aged young adults, allows you to experience the vast, untapped potential inside yourself. Through simple, practical, and effective techniques, SKY helps you to gain a greater vision of who you are and what you want from your life. You have the power to create a purposeful life, as well as the confidence to stretch and grow beyond limiting beliefs, lead a deeply joyful and fulfilling existence, and to find the leader inside of you! We are under the aegis of the International Association for Human Values and its sister organization, the Art of Living, a non-profit, educational, humanitarian organization. Present in 152 countries, it is one of the largest volunteer-based NGOs in the world. Founded in 1981, in just 38 years, it has touched the lives of over 370 million people through its educational and self-development programs and service initiatives. Live your potential!
