Flourish fund community retreat 2027
February 24-26, 2027
Southall Farm & Inn | Franklin, Tennessee
Join us for the 2027 Flourish Fund Community Retreat — a time set apart for meaningful connection, shared learning, reflection, and renewal in the beautiful Tennessee countryside.
Each year, the Community Retreat brings together Flourish Fund’s community of givers, partners, and friends to deepen relationships, reflect on what we are learning, and look ahead to what we can cultivate together. Through thoughtful conversations, shared meals, and unhurried time together, we’ll explore the ideas and relationships shaping our work while enjoying the beauty and hospitality of Southall Farm & Inn.
A Look at Our Time Together
The main retreat program will begin Thursday morning and conclude at approximately 2:00 p.m. on Friday. For those able to join us early, an optional welcome dinner will be held Wednesday evening. A limited number of rooms are available for Wednesday night.

Dress Code: Smart Casual
We encourage relaxed, polished retreat attire — comfortable yet well-put-together clothing suitable for indoor gatherings, shared meals, and time outdoors.
Think nice jeans or trousers, sweaters, blouses, dresses, collared shirts, and comfortable shoes for walking the property. February temperatures in Tennessee can vary, so layers and a light-to-medium jacket are recommended. You may also want to bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes if you plan to explore the farm or walking trails.
