AIDS, Medicine & Miracles

will hold its Annual Retreat

on August 10-12

at UC Berkeley, Kerr Campus.

For over 19 years AIDS, Medicine and Miracles has been providing life-changing

empowerment programs for ALL people with HIV/AIDS including their loved ones and

service providers. Our annual retreats offer interactive programs that build

community and empower people to live healthy and responsible lives filled with

hope. We provide a safe, nurturing, empowering environment for people to address

the profound impact that HIV has on one¢s life.

Please join us at the beautiful Kerr Campus of the University of

California Berkeley for an inspirational life-enhancing experience. Lectures,

discussion, ritual, meditation, yoga, support groups and experiential workshops

that cover a broad base of topics are only a few of the experiences you will

take home. AM & M retreats are a welcoming and affirming place where people living

with and affected by HIV receive support, community, rejuvenation, and share

knowledge and understanding. Some of this years speakers are Lark Lands,PhD,

River Huston, Vergel, Kennedy and Gregg Cassin.

meals. All lodging is in dormitories with semi-private rooms. The retreat begins
