Sponsor a Bench

in the

Sit Spot Network

Sponsor a quiet place to pause.

Across the woods at Wild Woods Retreat, we are placing simple sit spot benches made from reclaimed wood. Each one is set intentionally in nature and marked with a single word or short phrase, burned directly into the wood.

No explanations.
No instructions.
Just an invitation to sit.

By sponsoring a bench, you help create a place where someone can slow down, breathe, and reconnect. Sometimes that moment becomes meaningful. Sometimes quietly life-changing.

One day, that person may be you.

What Your Sponsorship Includes

– Your chosen word or short phrase, burned into the bench

– Optional honor or memorial inscription

– A permanent place in the Sit Spot Network

– A photo of your finished bench and its location

Each bench is handmade from reclaimed materials.
No two are the same.

A Few Notes

- Choose your own word or phrase, or we can suggest one

- Benches are not mapped or numbered. Discovery is part of the experience

- Sponsorship supports both the land and the people who will sit here

- We’ll follow up if we have any questions about your inscription

Want to add a brass plaque? (Optional)

Some sponsors choose to add a small engraved brass plaque to their bench.

You’re welcome to order a plaque yourself (many people use Amazon or Etsy) and have it shipped directly to us for installation.

Our address: 20 Collins Rd. Greeneville, TN 37745

IMPORTANT: Please email Sue to let her know you've ordered a plaque separately, and what its inscription says
(so we can match your plaque to your bench).
