SWLF, under new management, moved in 2025 from Tucson to bigger Phoenix and ran for three full days, from Friday morning into Sunday afternoon. "Immerse yourself in a weekend of connection, learning, and celebration at the Southwest Love Fest 2026. Discover diverse relationship experiences through engaging workshops, vibrant social events, and a welcoming community. "As always, we maintain our mission to create greater opportunities to find community and learn from others' diverse relationship experiences." Code of conduct. "Workshop material can range from educational to fun to healing. Some workshops also qualify for professional CEU credits for therapists available through the NBCC." Also: "Southwest Love Fest has expanded to offer year round Love Fest Events! Love Fest Events include mini conferences, symposiums, online workshops & other events all over the country and virtually. If you missed our special joint offering with Mikaela de la Myco for a Light Heart Retreat, we plan on making it a yearly event on Valentine's Day weekend. Past Love Fest Events include Somatic Integration for the Male Experience and Sex By Southwest, a collaboration mini-conference with Sex Down South Conference. Email us to organize one in your hometown!" The first Southwest Love Fest in 2018 sold out with over 225 attendees, and the second in 2019 had over 400. I was at SW Love Fest in 2018 and found the vibe exuberant and excited, the attendees (80% from Arizona) great-hearted and significantly diverse. The Saturday-night social events included, simultaneously, a treasure hunt, an EDM dance party with costuming available, and a cuddle puddle in a big pop-up gazebo under the stars.
