Scarritt-Bennett is a conference, retreat, and education center committed
to empowerment through cross-cultural understanding,
education, creativity and spiritual renewal. The Center is located
in the heart of Nashville,
Tennessee, on ten tree-filled acres. The ten buildings,
constructed of crab orchard stone in collegiate gothic architectural
style, give
the grounds a peaceful, nurturing atmosphere. The compact
setting means that it’s a short walk to well-equipped meeting
rooms, delicious meals, and restful sleeping rooms.
The peaceful setting belies the busy schedule
of meetings, programs, and educational opportunities available here.
The gothic chapel is a popular place for the 100+ weddings held
there each year. The museum teaches about world cultures through
displays of cultural artifacts from every continent.
The Center’s mission
challenges us to eradicate racism, work for justice and reconciliation,
and do what we do from a global perspective.
These commitments grow from a history of education
here that prepared people for lives of service. Scarritt-Bennett continues
and expands
that tradition.
