The 2025 reading retreat series

A Quiet Escape for Book Lovers

Step away from the noise.

The Secret Reading Retreat is a quiet space where time slows and books, stillness, and connection take center stage.

There’s no schedule, no pressure:

    • just cozy corners,
    • nourishing meals,
    • fresh coffee,
    • and gentle invitations to join when it feels right.

 

Spend your days reading, resting, or walking in nature. Evenings bring candlelight, good wine, and the company of fellow readers.

You may leave with more books to read, but also with something quieter: a sense of ease, and the feeling of having truly come home to yourself.

That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.

Summer solace among the pines
