Executive retreats · Nashville
Leadership retreats for Nashville teams.
We work with leadership teams across the country, from our home in Dallas–Fort Worth. If your team can get away, take it somewhere great. The right place helps a team slow down and think together. If you’d rather stay close to Nashville, we’ll run it there. Either way, we interview every leader, design the days and run the room in person.

Get away
Take your team somewhere great.
If your team has the time and the budget, we always encourage getting away. A few days with nowhere else to be gives leaders room to think and talk. A few of the places we’d start with:
Close to home
Or stay near Nashville.
Nashville teams can stay in town at one of the South’s grand hotels, head an hour east to the hills around Center Hill Lake or drive on to the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Every place has room for the whole team to work, eat and stay together.
Countryside · Under one roof
Evins Mill
Groups are most of Evins Mill’s business, so a team of 8 to 16 can take a lodge with its own boardroom and a bigger team can take the whole place, with every meal cooked on site. It sits on 40 wooded acres with a waterfall trail, an hour from the Nashville airport.
Group: 8 to 46

Blackberry Farm
A working farm estate in the Smoky Mountain foothills, open only to registered guests. Boardrooms for the work, the farm for everything else.
Group: 15 to 60
The Everest Climb
How a retreat works for a Nashville team.
We interview every leader before we write a word of the agenda. For a team in Nashville that happens by video in the weeks before. Then we meet you at the place you chose, across the country or close to home, and run the retreat in person.

Questions
Retreats near Nashville.
Do you facilitate leadership retreats for Nashville companies?
Yes. Everest Collective is based in Dallas–Fort Worth and works with leadership teams across the United States. We interview every leader before the retreat, usually by video, then the two founders facilitate on site, wherever the team goes.
Should our team travel or stay close to Nashville?
If the team has the time and the budget, we encourage getting away. The place is never the most important part of a retreat, and the right one still helps leaders slow down, step out of the day to day and talk. When travel doesn’t fit, a place within a couple of hours of downtown Nashville works well too.
Where can a Nashville leadership team hold a retreat nearby?
For a team that wants a house to itself, everyone with their own bedroom: Evins Mill. For a team that would rather each leader have a room at the same hotel or resort: The Hermitage Hotel, Blackberry Farm. All are within a few hours’ drive of downtown Nashville.
When is the best time for a retreat near Nashville?
Most of the places on this page are at their best in April, May, June, September, October. Each venue page lists its own best months and what to plan around.
How far ahead should we plan?
