WHAT IS
THE QUALITY OF LIFE RETREAT PROGRAM?
The Quality of Life Retreat
program began in 1988.
Since then over 82 Retreats
have been conducted.
The Retreats are a
connecting and coping experience for persons living with HIV/AIDS. It is a chance to get away, to get together,
to interact and to learn the techniques and attitudes that are effective in
dealing with the issues of long-term survival.
The Retreats have four
objectives
- To provide a safe,
living environment in which participants can fully be them selves, free of
fears, and inhibitions, and can deal openly with their deepest concerns.
- To offer spiritual,
practical, educational and health resources to those whose lives have
been, are and will be affected personally by HIV infection.
- To listen to what HIV
infected persons have to say about their journeys.
- To offer and develop a
viable model of how the religious community can make a compassionate and
effective response to this crisis.
THIS PROGRAM IS ECUMENICAL AND OPEN TO INDIVIDUALS OF
ALL FAITHS, RELIGIONS AND BELIEFS.
