When you can’t go outside, go inside. In these challenging times, breathing and meditation can help us settle our minds and provide physical and emotional strength.
The SKY Club at CU Boulder is offering daily (Monday–Friday) guided meditations and two online SKY Happiness Retreats this April, open to all students, staff and faculty on campus. Full scholarships are available.
The retreat is sponsored by Arts and Sciences Student Government, Student Organization Allocations Committee and CU Boulder Student Government representative council funding boards.
The workshop
The SKY workshop offers techniques to eliminate stress, improve vitality and expand awareness. During the workshop, you will learn to live fully in the present moment and get a chance to dive deep into the joy hidden inside you. The program is fun, relaxing and a much needed recourse in these testing times.
Save your spot for the daily meditations.

Revolutionized my daily life. As a busy student with a job, my plate is always full, I highly recommend making time for this course to reduce stress and improve focus.” –Bryn, USM Law
I was practicing meditation for five years and it was difficult. During the first session of SKY, I went so much deeper into meditation than I had ever gone.” –Santosh, UIUC
SKY made me very conscious of my thought patterns, and conscious of a sense of self that exists independent of those thoughts and different moods. I have found a daily practice that is something I’m relying on. (And this finals period has been largely stress free, mainly because meditating removes most of that stress!)” –Sarah, Harvard
