Mark Alan Murray, a longtime Residential Advisor and Recovery Coach at Gould Farm, has released a powerful new work titled Of Nod: A Poetic Memoir. Written in a voice that is both personal and daring, the book explores Mark’s journey through addiction, schizophrenia, and healing with raw vulnerability and lyrical beauty.

In a season often associated with renewal, May 2025 arrives with added gravity. It’s Mental Health Month—a time we’ve long acknowledged at Gould Farm with resources, conversations, and quiet encouragement. But this year, the moment feels more urgent.

Once again in partnership with Ellenhorn and other mission-aligned organizations, we’re thrilled to welcome back Psychosis Care and Connection: A Retreat on Humanistic Approaches—a special three-day gathering dedicated to transforming how we understand and care for people experiencing psychosis.
