What's the Yesplus Retreat?

The Yesplus Retreat is a 22-hour immersive, innovative life-skills training and self-development program offered to thousands of students at more than 40 universities across the country, including Stanford, Ohio State and MIT. Students gain foundational stress-management and leadership skills, develop a personal daily breathing practice, develop strategies for social connection, and engage in peer driven service initiatives. Taught over four consecutive days, Yesplus introduces the SKY meditation, a scientifically validated breathing practice that significantly increases one's well-being and calmness and reduces physical and mental stress. It's one of the coolest places to connect to yourself, make awesome friends and have a lot fun!

Some of the benefits:

  • Understanding of the sources of stress and the role of breathing techniques
  • Meditative practices in managing stress and negative emotions
  • Ability to increase personal happiness
  • Develop greater equanimity
  • Learning to deal with criticism and mistakes
  • Taking personal and community responsibility
  • Increasing social connection, enthusiasm, and inspiration
