Wellness for All

June 18-20 we will come together, to work together, to find hope by cultivating optimism, setting shared, actionable goals, and building trusting relationships. We will openly share struggles and encourage one another, creating a supportive network that fosters resilience and a more positive outlook for our future. Together, we will find hope and walk away with renewed energy to sustain us, and to share in a world that increasingly does not make sense.

Experience an unforgettable weekend of connection and inspiration at the 3rd annual Smoky Mountain Wellness Festival. In 2026 we brought you 38 classes and 33 instructors representing nine states and four countries offering: yoga, qigong, hooping, sound healing, wellness workshops, gourmet food and drink, Makers & Healers Bazaar with 50+ vendors, children’s area with FREE creative play, hiking, forest bathing, a parade, FREE concert and community-building activities.

We promise to make 2027 even bigger and brighter.
