"REST + READ" with Ease

& writer, reader, bibliotherapist Lucy Pearson

​6th - 8th June 2025

​

 

WHAT TO EXPECT: A weekend dedicated solely to reading. This experience will broaden your reading horizons, inspire you to reconnect with your inner reader, push your creativity to new heights and help shape the course of your reading life. 

 

In today's fast-paced digital world, a reading retreat offers the chance to unplug from screens and reconnect with the written word. The retreat will offer solace and respite from screens, and the perfect excuse to disconnect from technology and engage in the simple pleasure of reading.  

 

Our days will be spent immersed in reading, discussing books and connecting with our literary selves. We will also experience delicious food and wine, with ample time for curling up with books in cosy reading nooks. 

 

EXCLUSIVE EXTRAS: A literary goody bag: Guests will all be given a goody bag including a book for Saturday’s Silent Book Club (short enough to read on the Saturday afternoon, ahead of a lively discussion the next day) and literary treats to help you on your reading journey. 

 

A bibliotherapy session book prescription: Prior to the retreat, Lucy will send each guest a questionnaire, to find out more about their likes and dislikes, and what they want more of in their reading life. Each guest will then have a 45-minute session with Lucy, during which she will discuss your reading habits and give you a bespoke book prescription. â€‹

​

You want to discover books that resonate deeply with your personal journey and goals.
