The 4th Annual
Contemplative Retreat
For people living with HIV/AIDS

with Tathagata Pitaka

This residential week-end is designed specifically for men and women who are HIV positive. Contemplative dyads are the primary activity. They combine inquiry with structured communication in pairs. The schedule includes periods of exercise, rest, and walking meditation. Extra rest periods are available as needed.

A carefully planned organic vegetarian diet includes three meals and two snacks a day, as well as natural vitamins.

Staff nurses distribute medications provided by participants according to their schedules. This frees people from the responsibility so they may focus on the contemplation undistracted by concerns about time. Massage professionals donate their services providing Trager body work which is especially well suited to the contemplative experience.
