A sacred place where heaven touches earth

Holy Acres is a faith-led retreat being built from the ground up — one prayer, one step, one acre at a time.

Born from a calling. Rooted in the Springs of Florida.

Called to create a place where heaven meets earth

Our Story

Meet the founder

My name is Gwendolyn. And Holy Acres wasn't something I planned — it was something couldn't escape.

I felt led to create a sacred place — where people can step away from the chaos of the world and reconnect with Him through nature. A place where the noise fades, the pressure lifts, and the soul can finally breathe.

God met me in that place — not with words, but with grace. He pulled me out of the darkness and handed me something I didn't expect. A purpose.""He gave me another chance — not just to live, but to live in peace. That transformation is the foundation of Holy Acres."

Holy Acres is about returning to what truly matters — faith, stillness, and connection with God. It's about stepping out of the noise and pressure of everyday life and into the freedom found in Christ. Not for a weekend. But as a way of living.

My heart is to see others find that same freedom.

To feel His presence.

To be restored.

To finally breathe.

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

— 2 Corinthians 3:17
