Art That Heals, Inc. presents "Life Mastery Retreat", a powerful, spiritual, fun, relaxing and life-shaping event.
This is free and available to people infected and affected by HIV, their friends, caregivers, family, and loved ones, and those interested in learning more about the disease in order to become a volunteer or caregiver.
This event is free. The cost per participant is about $150 but not a penny is due from any participant; we offer this retreat through donations and fundraising efforts.
However, we are accepting donations (both financial and in-kind) to provide for food, local transportation, and other needs, as well as to cover the expense of bringing in the retreat facilitators from Houston and New York (travel and fees). Aside from financial donations we seek food and door prize donations from the community.
