Healing education retreats designed exclusively for Ohio residents living with HIV
Healing education retreats designed exclusively for Ohio residents living with HIV. Equitas Health Institute hosts six Life+ weekend retreats each year. Held at scenic Great Ohio Lodges within two hours of Columbus, Life+ weekends offer a unique opportunity for rest, connection, and support.
“The best part of the weekend was connecting with others and hearing their stories on what it’s like living with HIV. It was very relaxing and laid back to do things that we wanted such as a nature walk and swimming and selective presentations.”
– 2024 Life+ Attendee
Healing weekends for people living with HIV began in the 1980s as grassroots, community-led gatherings that provided a safe, nurturing space for emotional support and holistic care. Today, these retreats continue that tradition, helping participants build resilience, practice self-care, and reduce stigma. Life+ participants can explore Equitas Health resources, receive vital health education, find positive ways to live with HIV, and build a strong network of support.
This is your weekend to connect, explore, and heal at your own pace. Whether you’re seeking new friendships, personal growth, or simply some relaxation, these retreats provide a welcoming, supportive space to recharge and discover a sense of belonging.
