This study is looking at whether a specific breathing and meditation practice called SKY Breath Meditation can help college students with stress and overall well-being. Researchers want to see if it's practical to offer this program to students and if it can improve things like stress, anxiety, and how connected students feel. You could be eligible if you are an undergraduate or graduate student at a university in Alabama, at least 18 years old, and can attend a 3-day in-person retreat and weekly online sessions for eight weeks. The study will measure success by looking at changes in your perceived stress levels after eight weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.
