Location
There's always space for you at Gordon's Green Gables
All Rainfall retreats are held at Gordon's Green Gables in Hugo, Minnesota, about 25 minutes outside of the Twin Cities. The center is located on the traditional land of the Dakota, Sioux, Anishinabe, Chippewa, and Ojibwa peoples. We are part of the Northern Great Lakes Forests bioregion, and the property features vast meadows, where the horses pasture in summer, as well as deciduous and coniferous trees.
Gordon's Green Gables is a space where we empower you embrace your authentic self in the full circle of creation, nurturing, connecting, and transforming. Here, you will find a renewed sense of self and a stronger sense of connectedness through the healing presence of nature. Let Mother Nature hold you during one of our equine retreats.
Upcoming Groups
Finding Wholeness in Nature
It is scientifically proven that spending only 20 minutes in nature daily helps to relieve depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns. Using our five senses, mindfulness, somatic body techniques, and engaging with our equine partners you will have the opportunity to relieve some of that built up stress. Join us for a few hours on the farm to rejuvenate yourself!

Upcoming Retreats
Wonder Wisdom Warrior
This retreat is for anyone in or supporting the burn survivor community. Moving from “burn victim” to “burn survivor” and thriving within, is our goal for this nature based and equine assisted retreat.
We will integrate new ways to reconnect with self, others, animals, and the nature surrounding you. Our time will be filled with somatic based body work, animals, nature, artistic activities, and group processing time. We will encourage and empower you on your personal journey in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Spring 2024
Renewed Connection
Come and find a renewed sense of connection as we nurture our bodies and minds with nature and horses.
We often find ourselves pulled in different directions, feeling lost or not connected to who we strive to be.
This small intimate retreat setting is for those wanting to find a renewed sense of self; reconnect with themselves or others; gain an understanding about whole body wellness using nature and horses; and finding self awareness.
Saturday June 1st
9-3pm
Meet your retreat hosts!
Through somatic (body based) work, trauma informed care, and an attachment based lens, Cimena Gordon (MSW, LICSW) and TaNesha Saxon (MA, LPCC) provide a holistic, integrative approach to your well-being.
