Retreats for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Our annual weekend retreat for persons living
with HIV/AIDS offers participants and presenters alike a time apart
from their everyday routine. In the beautiful surroundings of the
Stella Niagara Center of Renewal along the Niagara River, participants
can take time to reflect, rest, worship, enjoy a massage, or create
a “masterpiece” in an art workshop. No matter what they
choose to do, they are surrounded by a supportive community of love.
When former retreatants were asked what was most
helpful about the retreat, they responded:
“… being together with loving,
caring people.”
“The workshops, the beautiful setting,
and the staff allowed each of us to be completely ourselves.”
“The joy and laughter lifted my spirits
and helped me to relax.”
“Getting in touch with myself and others
was helpful to me.”
“Thank you for making me feel a part
and showing me that I’m not alone and I’m loved.”
“ I enjoyed the swimming and the arts
and crafts.”
“The entire retreat weekend affected
me in so many ways, I can’t pick just one.”
