 Alive & Wells Free Community EventsAlive & Well holds free community events every
third Wednesday evening of each month (except June) in West Hollywood,
California.
Our monthly events take place in West Hollywood
Park located at 647 North San Vicente Boulevard between Santa Monica and
Melrose Avenue across the street from the Pacific Design Center, the multistory
blue building on the east side of San Vicente. You may call West Hollywood
Park at 323-848-6534 for more detailed directions.
We currently meet in The Sky Room which is at the
end of the corridor just behind the park office. The park office is north
of the parking lot and to the east of the playground. Since the office
remains open during the evening, you can ask park personnel for help in
finding the Sky Room.
Limited free parking is available in the West Hollywood Park lot by the tennis courts. You can also find metered parking on the street. We begin our events at 6:30 PM with Relax, Its Just Information, an overview of basic facts that challenge common assumptions about HIV and AIDS presented by Alive & Well founder Christine Maggiore. Following this 45 minute introduction, and depending on the evening, we may have an informative guest speaker, a panel of HIV positives taking alternative approaches to life and health, a film or an informal discussion. We offer free information packs and a free copy of our book What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong? to all first time attendees, and healthy vegetarian snacks for all our guests. Recent past speakers and topics at our events include:
