Let’s Connect...

"Wow! What an incredible experience! We hosted our first Pilates retreat here and were blown away by every detail. From our first conversation with Zack to the beautifully curated experience itself, everything was pure perfection. The team helped bring our vision to life, creating a stunning, peaceful space where we could move, connect, and simply be.We especially loved the Chrysalis space—where our Pilates classes were held. It’s such a special environment, intentionally designed for mindful movement and connection. The food was fresh, nourishing, and absolutely delicious. We can’t wait to return for another retreat soon!"

"What a beautiful experience! I did a four day/3 night Arrow retreat at Bask Retreat Center and loved every moment of it. The atmosphere is so inviting and rejuvenating. The staff were incredibly hospitable and the food was delicious and nourishing. Every part of the experience was nourishing to the body and spirit. It helped me relax and unwind in a short amount of time, feeling renewed by the end of the weekend. It will be the place I return to on at least a yearly if not more. I loved being immersed in nature, feeling so small under the beautiful open, starry sky, and having so many placed to relax, read, discover, and feel like myself again."

"Bask Retreat Center in Centerville, Tennessee is truly one of the most beautiful and inspiring sanctuary spaces I’ve ever experienced. From the moment you arrive, you can feel that the land itself has been honored and thoughtfully cared for.Everything about Bask feels intentional—grounded in balance, harmony, and deep respect for nature.The setting is breathtaking. Surrounded by rolling hills, forest, and open sky, it offers the kind of quiet that allows your nervous system to fully exhale. Whether walking the trails, sitting in stillness, or gathering in ceremony, there’s a palpable sense of peace woven into the environment.What makes Bask so special isn’t just the physical beauty—it’s the energy of the space. It feels rooted, centered, and heart-led. A place where people can reconnect with themselves, with community, and with the Earth in an authentic and supportive way. If you’re seeking restoration, inspiration, or simply a place to reset and remember what grounded harmony feels like, Bask Retreat Center is an extraordinary refuge. I left feeling nourished, expanded, and deeply grateful that places like this exist."

"Bask is a truly special place. I had expectations of relaxing and grounding, but I felt transformed and renewed after a four day retreat in a way that didn’t even occur to me as possible beforehand. I stayed in the Moss geodesic dome, which was very cozy and comfortable but still connected to the natural surroundings. That’s what really makes Bask so special— they have taken great lengths to restore the land to its native state and it really feels magical to experience it. I felt connected to nature in a way that felt lost for so long. It felt so simple and so rare at the same time! There are so many charming details throughout the lodge and geo domes, and while everything is thoughtfully stocked and charming, it doesn’t feel like a hotel— it is very comfortable, like a home. And the staff is amazing! They are really passionate and knowledgeable about the land and inspired that passion in me as well. And they were great at providing everything I might need, even before I realized I needed it! I had a minor injury just before arrival that caused some mobility issues and they made provisions for me in every way before i could even ask! Im grateful for my time at Bask and hope that I can return for another retreat soon."

"Bask is simply magical. Words can't adequately describe the life changing experience I had in this beautiful setting. Nature is nourishing to the soul and Aylin and her amazing team have seamlessly blended all that is true in nature with intentional mind, body and spirit wellness practices from masters in this field. The Warrior Retreat was a much needed break from the noise and stress of everyday life. I quickly connected with strangers that became friends and learned more about myself in a short span of time than I could have ever imagined. An easy drive from Nashville, Bask will delight anyone looking to enhance or start their journey to wellness and wellbeing. A very special place that will undoubtedly make a difference in all the lives it touches."

"Bask is a magical place where real people have a chance to connect with nature, the land, and with each other. This October I had the privilege of embarking on “The Arrow Journey” and I enjoyed every single minute of it. I had the opportunity to make an arrow from scratch, and of course when they asked if I wanted to shoot it I said yes!!!! While I was there I had every meal cooked for me, and the rest of the group. The food was amazing!!! I had a chance to learn about plant medicine, and how it can help us. If I could live every single weekend like the one I experienced at Bask, I would do it in a heartbeat. If you are thinking about visiting this place, I say do it, as everyone can benefit from time in nature. We ALL need something like Bask in our lives. Thank you Bask & Ailyn for the amazing experience, what you have created here is truly life changing."

"I love Bask! In October 2025, I was fortunate enough to participate in Bask’s first retreat, the Arrow Journey. It was a transformative experience that I would recommend to anyone needing to reset. The facilities were beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable, and the food was delicious and healthy. The programming was great, introducing me to several new experiences and challenges, including a sauna / cold plunge, a tea ceremony with medicinal herbs, “warrior” yoga, arrow making and archery, a sound bath, stargazing fireside, and so much more. The facilitators were amazing - I really enjoyed connecting with them, as well as with other fellow participants. I also savored a bit of solo time while there, exploring the paths winding through the woods, lounging in the tree hammocks, and wandering through the curated landscape of wildflowers and beautiful plants. The retreat inspired me to make positive changes in my life, for which I am ever grateful. Aylin has created an incredibly warm and welcoming nature retreat that is rejuvenating and impactful!"

"WOW! What an amazing weekend! We just hosted our first Pilates Retreat and from the moment we began planning, Zack has been nothing short of incredible to work with. Zack's organization, communication, and guidance made the entire process seamless.Nigel’s kindness and creative expertise added so much value to our marketing and visuals! Greg’s on-site hospitality and energy were beyond appreciated, he truly made everyone feel taken care of. Mariah’s warmth and attentiveness toward every guest went above and beyond; she brought such a special touch to the entire weekend. The retreat space itself is stunning, every design detail feels intentional and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind and connect. The memories we made here are ones we’ll never forget. It was such a gift to unplug, move, and share space with other women in nature. We can’t wait to return!"

"Guiding The Arrow Journey at Bask Retreat Center was something I’ll carry for a long time. There’s a presence to the land there — a quiet strength that holds you, challenges you, and softens you all at once. You can feel it in the trees, in the air, even in the way the light moves through the space. The staff at Bask are incredible. Every detail — from the meals to the flow of the weekend — was handled with such care that I could fully drop into facilitating. Their attention and heart created a container where real transformation could happen. By the end, what stayed with me most was the feeling of connection — to the group, to the land, and to something larger moving through all of us. Bask is a rare kind of place, one that makes deep work feel not only possible, but inevitable."

"I recently spent a weekend at Bask Retreat Center, and it was exactly what my soul needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm and care that’s rare to find. The property is absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully designed, surrounded by nature, and filled with small details that make you feel completely at ease. The Arrow Retreat itself was grounding and transformative. Every part of the experience, the food, the workshops, the yoga, the quiet moments of reflection felt intentional and nurturing. The team at Bask has clearly poured their hearts into creating a space where people can truly rest, reset, and reconnect with themselves. By the end of the weekend, I felt lighter, more centered, and deeply grateful for the time I’d spent there. If you’re looking for a place to unplug, reflect, and return to yourself, Bask is a very special kind of sanctuary. I can’t wait to return."

"I have had many beautiful experiences at Bask—retreats, gatherings, celebrations— and I have felt so exquisitely held and cared for. Within gorgeous nature, each lodge, house, and space has been curated down to the finest detail—not one short-cut has been made. Natural fabrics throughout, natural wood, large stone fireplaces, handmade and crafted furniture, rich earthy colors and tones, vintage pieces abound—you step into another world when you enter. I feel immense peace, warmth, gladness, and deep rest when I find myself at Bask."

"How lucky to have Bask so close to Nashville, yet a world away from everyday life! Bask is beautiful, and the team is superb. Amazing food, luxurious lodging, peaceful surroundings - everything I could want as a retreat leader or as an attendee. Thank you!"
