🌈 What is a Roundup?

A Roundup is a two-day fellowship gathering—kicking off Friday night and running through Saturday—for the 2SLGBTQIA+ recovery community. It brings people together to celebrate and support recovery through inspiring speakers, workshops, and fun social activities in a safe, affirming environment.

Whether you have decades in recovery or are just checking it out for the first time, a Roundup offers a deep sense of belonging, connection, and community.

The Rocky Mountain Roundup (RMRU)

Our local Colorado Roundup is an action-packed weekend filled with fellowship, inspiration, and fun:

🌙 Friday Night Kickoff: Opening meeting featuring a powerful guest speaker, followed by a social event or live entertainment.

🌈 Saturday Main Event: A full day of interactive panel discussions, specialized workshops, inspiring keynote speakers and another evening social event.

Our mission is to uplift 2SLGBTQIA+ recovery using a full toolkit of healing—combining traditional 12-Step principles with holistic and alternative recovery frameworks. Joining our efforts is easy, and those of us on the committee know firsthand how special this community is. We'd love for you to join us! 

The History

The very first Roundup was held in 1976 in California, named the Western Roundup Living Sober. It was a landmark opportunity for LGBTQIA+ individuals to spend an entire weekend together, nurturing their connection to one another. Since then, the movement has grown across the globe—and we are proud to keep that tradition alive right here in the Rocky Mountain region!
