We are excited to invite you to a transformative and educational equine-assisted workshop and retreat designed specifically for individuals who are fostering or adopting children. This unique retreat offers a powerful opportunity to deepen your understanding of attachment dynamics, enhance your parenting skills, and gain valuable insights into the healing process for both children and families.
Throughout the retreat, you will engage in hands-on equine-assisted activities led by experienced professionals. No riding or horse experience necessary. These activities will help you develop a deeper understanding of attachment, trauma, and connection, all while interacting with horses in a safe and supportive environment. Horses have an innate ability to provide insight into human emotions and behaviors, which allows for learning and growth in the context of attachment and healing.
In addition to the experiential learning, the retreat offers professional development opportunities. Participants can earn 3 continuing education credits, which can be applied to foster care training requirements or professional development goals. Group discussions are led by experts in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and equine-assisted therapy. These sessions are designed to equip you with new strategies and perspectives to support the children in your care.
This event is hosted by Cimena and TaNesha, both of whom have 20 years experience working within the child welfare system as certified mental health therapists with adoption competency and mental health training.
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.
