The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) proudly hosted our annual Advocate Retreat on May 30th, 2025, a day-long gathering dedicated to the healing and rejuvenation of those on the frontlines of advocacy within our Tribal communities. Centered around the themes of land, community, and self, this year’s retreat served as a much-needed space for rest, reconnection, and reflection.
Advocates are often the unsung heroes doing some of the most difficult, emotionally intense work in our communities. They carry their own stories of pain while fighting tirelessly for the justice and safety of survivors, navigating systems that weren’t built with Indigenous values or wellness in mind. At CSVANW, we recognize their labor and the emotional, physical, and mental toll it can take. Our Advocate Retreat is one way we strive to give back to these advocates: fostering a moment to breathe, to feel supported, and to honor the sacred responsibility of care.

In May, the City of Santa Fe Community Gallery presents two panel discussions in conjunction with [TabLe], the current group exhibition featuring 23 artists exploring the meaning of the family table.
