Total Well-Being Program for Higher Education

SKY Campus Happiness is a comprehensive well-being and resilience program designed to help students, faculty and staff achieve their fullest potential.

We envision happy and mindful campus communities where students, faculty, & staff thrive in life and lead with clarity of mind, resilience, purpose & belonging.

SKY Campus Happiness is a comprehensive biopsychosocial program tailored for university populations–students, faculty, and staff–offered by the International Association for Human Values and Art of Living and designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Present in 180 countries, it is one of the largest volunteer-based, non-profit, educational, and humanitarian organizations in the world.  Since 1981, millions of people have benefited from SKY breathwork and meditation techniques. The cornerstone of SKY retreats is the SKY Breath Meditation, an evidence-based practice verified by over 100 independent studies that clears stress and boosts energy from the first session. At the University of Florida, over 2000 students, faculty, and staff have benefited from SKY. We aim to create a stress-free campus and promote harmony in diversity, leadership, and service.
