Three Days. Great Books. Good Food. Wonderful Company.
Why? Because your TBR pile deserves a weekend away, too.
After the incredible response to our Summer Women's Reading Retreat, we're excited to bring back the experience—this time open to everyone!
Join hosts Devin, Lisa, and Maile for a relaxing weekend designed around one simple goal: giving yourself permission to slow down and read.
Whether you spend the entire weekend with us or join for just a day, you'll find cozy reading spaces, delicious meals, welcoming conversation, and plenty of uninterrupted time to get lost in a good book.
No assigned reading. No book reports. No pressure.
Bring the book—or stack of books—you've been meaning to read, settle into a comfortable chair, and enjoy a weekend surrounded by fellow readers who understand the joy of "just one more chapter."
Your Chapter Begins Here...
From the moment you arrive, you'll have everything you need to slow down, settle in, and lose yourself in a great story.
Your retreat includes:
Cozy indoor and outdoor reading spaces
Delicious meals throughout the retreat
Snacks, coffee, tea, and treats
Lodging for guests selecting an overnight package
Fun optional activities and book-themed surprises
Plenty of uninterrupted reading time
Opportunities to connect with fellow readers—or simply enjoy peaceful solitude
Exclusive access to The Leadership Center's indoor pool, workout facility, and beautiful 43.5-acre campus, featuring walking trails, native prairie, and a peaceful pond dressed in Nebraska's beautiful fall colors.
Every attendee will receive an exclusive, curated bookish gift bag valued at more than $100, filled with reader favorites, cozy surprises, and a few magical extras you won't want to miss.
Optional Bookish Side Quests
Ready for a little literary adventure?
Join us for optional excursions to explore local bookstores in Aurora and Grand Island. Browse the shelves, discover your next favorite read, and enjoy a little bookish adventure before returning to your cozy reading spot.
Who Is This Retreat For?
Anyone who loves books.
Whether you finish a novel every week or have been trying to make time for the same book for months, this retreat is for you.
Come solo, bring a friend, or gather your own reading buddies. Introverts and extroverts alike are welcome. We've intentionally designed the weekend to offer plenty of quiet reading time while also creating opportunities for meaningful conversation, new friendships, and shared bookish joy.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is slow down, turn the page, and spend a weekend with people who understand why books matter.
