Wildacres 2025
Friday, August 29 at 4:00pm – Monday, September 1 at 12:00pm
Begin your High Holy Day journey with a weekend of reflection, connection, and renewal in one of the most breathtaking settings on earth — the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perched high along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Wildacres offers crisp mountain air, sweeping views, and a sense of timeless beauty that invites the soul to breathe deeply and come home to itself.
