Continuing Education for Professionals

Throughout the year we will be offering a series of mental health, wellness, advocacy, and continuing education courses. These courses are designed to provide professionals working in the healing and helping arenas, a safe space to both learn and find encouragement. Some workshops will be offered in person at our Hugo farm location, others will be available online.

Tailored workshops through a trauma informed and attachment based lens are available for your group. Please contact us for more details.

All sessions are approved for Continuing Education Units by the MN Board of Social Work.

Rainfall Therapy and Equine Retreats

Gordon's Green Gables sits on the traditional land of the Dakota, Sioux, Anishinabe, Chippewa, and Ojibwe peoples. We acknowledge their ancestors who lived in the Hugo area and were forcibly removed from here. Hugo was the summer land of the Dakota people who harvested wild rice from the lakes in this area. Honoring the past, present, and future Indigenous stewards of this land is one small way that we are working to decolonize and spread awareness of historical truths.
