Motivate & Inspire

A retreat center like none other on beautiful Cordell Hull Lake, less than one hour from Nashville.  The Wildwood Executive Retreat Center serves as your team’s waterfront headquarters for everything from morning yoga to day-long or half-day leadership meetings of up to 40 attendees. Modern audio-visual equipment, highspeed WiFi, and room-darkening capabilities are just the beginning of Wildwood’s corporate retreat experience.  Rethink your next retreat.  Come unplug or plugin and connect your team in a location that will take your breath away.   

The vision and design of Wildwood’s executive retreat center is driven by its owner, John Deane. Before starting Wildwood, John served as a healthcare consultant working at the intersection of the physician/hospital relationship with over 250 health systems across the United States. He was a frequently invited speaker at over 500 corporate board retreats over 30 years as well as planning and leading executive retreats for his own leadership team.

“The time we spent in retreat with colleagues was invariably the most impactful,” says Deane. “It’s amazing how the power of gathering a leadership team around the fire pit or on a pontoon boat ride can foster breakthrough moments that shape a company’s future. At Wildwood we delight in offering the power of play as a way of inducing innovation and inspiration for our corporate retreat clients.”
