Dear John,

We’re honored to invite Native youth ages 16–24 who identify as LGBTQ2S+ to the Southwest Butterflies Retreat (SWBR), a two-day gathering rooted in community, healing, and cultural connection.

SWBR creates a space that uplifts LGBTQ2S+ voices and experiences while addressing the impacts of domestic violence and sexual assault. Through workshops, conversations, and shared meals, participants will gain tools to support their well-being, grow in their power, and deepen their connection to community.

📆 August 1–2, 2025

⏰ 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM each day

📍 Hotel Andaluz Albuquerque | 125 2nd St NW

🍽️ Breakfast and lunch provided both days

Our hope is that every youth leaves feeling seen, supported, and reenergized—carrying with them a strengthened sense of identity and collective care.

Space is limited. Secure Your Spot Today.

Please share this with the youth in your network and encourage them to sign up!
