Join us for a special fundraising evening cabaret: Testify to Love, April 22, 2008.

Positive Being is a non-profit service organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with HIV through touch.

The organization seeks to heal and nurture by helping those with HIV reclaim their bodies as a site of well-being, a source of healing strength, and a temple of the divine. The organization fosters the integration of the physical, healing, and spiritual nature of our bodies to effect positive change in the health and well-being of men with HIV.

These aims serve as a complement (rather than an alternative) to drug therapies. Whereas pharmaceuticals function by negating the virus, the programs of Positive Being function by affirming the positive aspects and healing potential within our own bodies. The organization emphasizes the importance of loving touch as a healing tool for a population beleaguered by impersonal clinical therapies and the damaging side effects of toxic drugs.

Positive Being encompasses a "hands-on" approach to battling HIV disease--and the attendant alienation, isolation, and depression that comes with it--by promoting awareness and increasing understanding of how touch can transform lives for the better.
