Shanti's L.I.F.E. Program^® (Learning Immune Function Enhancement) teaches participants about the inseparable interactions that take place between their thoughts, their bodies, and the outside world. Using the relatively recent science of psycho-neuro-immunology, people with life-threatening and disabling illnesses learn how being mindful of and improving their performance on 18 "cofactors" can enhance the natural healing capacities of their bodies and minds.
 
Using a combination of lectures, large and small group discussions, experiential excercises, peer support, time for socializing, and, when appropriate, counseling, the 16-week program presents a comprehensive and individualized plan for improved health.
 
The L.I.F.E. Program^® is currently available for people living with HIV/AIDS. The breast cancer version of the program is now being developed, and should be available within the year.
