  • Where Is the Location?

    The retreats are located in the magical town of Windham, NY, in the Catskill Mountains. Nicknamed “The Gem of the Catskills,” Windham is located about two-and-a-half hours from New York City by car, or accessible by the Amtrak train to Hudson, NY (Windham is about a 35-minute cab ride from Hudson. We can provide cab recommendations). You can also fly into Albany, NY, which is about 1.5 hours away.

  • Would You Host a Reading Retreat For A Private Group?

    Absolutely. We’re currently working on retreats for larger groups of friends, and book clubs who’d like to come together. Reach out on our Contact Us form.

  • What Are the Curated Activities?

    Each retreat features experiences led by members of The Catskills Women’s Collective, a group of local small-business owners that regularly meets to support each member’s individual initiatives. The experiences may include leisurely hiking, forest bathing, candle making, meditation, basket weaving, or mushroom picking. All activities are included, but you can choose to cozy up in a corner with your book instead!

  • Can I come alone?

    Yes! We encourage women who are solo travelers to come experience this incredible weekend of connection and discussions around books.

  • Do I have to finish the book?

    We’re going to have a big discussion Saturday night around the book, but no, you don’t have to feel pressured to finish. We have really insightful conversations that stem from the book’s main themes. There will, though, be downtime before the book discussion for you to catch up on it!

  • How many women attend, and what's the age range??

    There will usually be around 8-10 women. The ages range from early-30s to late 40s, but we’ve definitely had a wider range attend. All women are welcome!

  • What's Included in the Weekend Pass?

    This is ideal for anyone visiting who already has a place to stay, or locals who don’t need overnight accommodation. What’s included: curated activities and access to the home Friday night-Sunday; four meals, including a private chef dinner, light breakfasts, lunch and book-themed dinner; wine and non-alcoholic beverages; All Booked Welcome Bag; online Instagram community for your specific retreat.
