A retreat designed to create a safe space for you to find healing and empowerment through the integration of nature, art, and equine therapy. Here, we focus on Reclaiming the Joy we hold inside.
Through somatic wellness and body-based practices, we’ll emphasize:
- Supporting nervous system regulation
- Building emotional resilience and capacity
- Creating space for grief, anger, and healing
- Reconnecting with a sense of agency and empowerment
This is a space where we empower individuals to embrace their authentic self in the full circle of creation, nurturing, connecting, spirituality, and transformation.
You will discover a renewed sense of self through the healing presence of nature, artistic creation, and horses, all fundamental elements of our mental health retreats.
What to expect:
- A greater connection to self
- Artistic Creation
- Holistic Healing
- Connection with horses (no riding involved)
- Understanding the connection between physical and mental health
- A safe space to process and begin the healing journey
This is a trauma-informed, supportive environment where your lived experience is honored. You are welcome just as you are. This retreat invites you to find a gentle focus on connection and belonging, helping you to feel more anchored in both yourself and within your community.
Healing is not meant to be done alone — and here, you don’t have to do it alone.
Both facilitators bring a grounded, compassionate presence with their extensive professional knowledge to provide a trauma-informed, body-based practice with the support of horses and nature.
This day long retreat will be offered two times this year, July 25th and September 26th. Space is limited to 12 people per event.
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.
