About Skill Set
Run by other young adults, Skill Set is about sharing ideas, asking meaningful questions, and getting to imagine and actualize the selves, lives, and communities you want to create for yourself and others while sharpening tactile skills such as cooking or maintaining your physical well being. These retreats can serve as the jumping-off point for opening up new possibilities for your life and your role in it. Whether you feel daunted and overwhelmed by your new adulthood or excited to create what’s next, Skill Set is for you! Examples of past Skill Set workshops include food justice, race in America, mindfulness-based stress reduction, theories of social change, love letters, and neuroplasticity.
