At Sacred Mountain Waters Wellness Sanctuary this March 27–29, 2026, Holy Ruckus invites men into a weekend of holy mischief, deep presence, and soul-level renewal.
In a time of chronic stress and relentless responsibility, this retreat offers a return to joy, play, and grounded brotherhood. Through laughter and silence, drumming and council, ritual and wandering the woods, participants reconnect with their original innocence and recover a fierce, childlike wonder that strengthens rather than escapes reality.
Sponsored by Illuman of North Carolina, Holy Ruckus is not about checking out. It’s about coming alive again. Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina for a transformative weekend where depth and delight meet, and where men remember how to be fully human together.
