Welcome, we have been running retreats since 1992.
Our retreats are a sanctuary designed to help individuals living with HIV thrive and find renewed strength. Join us on a journey of hope and empowerment.
At HiVitality, we believe in the power of connection and support.
We were founded by a group of HIV survivors who defied the odds
and wanted to create a safe haven for others.
With a focus on holistic well-being, our retreats are designed to help individuals cope with the challenges of living with HIV, improve their wellbeing and mental health, and forge lasting connections within a supportive community.
We understand the importance of creating a safe space where individuals can share their stories, experiences, and challenges without judgment. Our retreats offers a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone is accepted and respected.
One of the core pillars of HiVitality is building a strong community. Our retreats provide opportunities for you to connect with peers who understand your journey and can provide a network of support beyond the retreat experience.
Our retreats offer a wide range of activities and workshops that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
You can choose what you want to do and how much you want to participate.
We try to accommodate everyone's preferences and needs when it comes to rooms.
In general, we aim to give those attending a retreat for the first time, a room on their own, unless they have expressly stated that they wish to or are willing to share.
Please see our Rooms Allocation policy for more details.
The venues we use are set in the countryside and can accommodate around 30 people.
We always have sole use of premises so that all those attending can feel that they can be completely open about your status without fear of being overheard and stigmatised.
We want everyone who is interested in attending our events to be able to do so, regardless of their financial situation, depending on your circumstances and preferences.
HiVitality retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your inner vitality and wellness
Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape, a transformative journey, or a holistic adventure
These are YOUR retreats, you can do as much, or as little, as you feel comfortable
Our retreats are more than just vacations, they are opportunities to discover new aspects of yourself, to heal old wounds, and to create lasting memories
The actual cost of each retreat for HiVitality is around £220.
All spaces are now £60.00
We want everyone to have access to our retreats, regardless of your financial circumstances, we have a limited inclusion fund available
