The Next Step Program:
HIV/AIDS Retreat Program

Samaritan Ministry’s spiritual retreats for people living with HIV/AIDS provide a safe, supportive and healing environment where participants can deal with issues of living with AIDS, their relationships with others, with themselves and their God or Higher Power. Through the retreats, participants explore some of the spiritual and other issues of living with HIV/AIDS: guilt, addiction, anger, separation from family and loved ones, loss of self esteem, death and dying. Participants also experience a sense of camaraderie and joy together.

This program of spiritual retreats serves both men and women. Many participants are in various other stages of recovery from drug/alcohol addiction; a number have been incarcerated. Most have very limited incomes and some are homeless. Samaritan Ministry’s retreat program is committed to supporting people as they take Next Steps in their lives with HIV/AIDS.
