Ready for cobblestone streets, blooming gardens, and a slower pace?
Join us April 22–26, 2027 in Savannah, Georgia for a women's Reading Retreat nestled among historic squares and moss-draped oak trees. Over four nights, we'll savor uninterrupted reading time, leisurely breakfasts, meaningful conversations, and a mix of literary exploration and relaxed wandering through one of America's most beautiful cities.

In April, the weather is warm and pleasant, making it the perfect time to wander the historic district, discover hidden corners, and settle in with a good book beneath the shade of a centuries-old oak tree.
