What Is a Reading Retreat?
All Booked is an unforgettable reading retreat experience designed for women 21 and over, including working professionals, moms, adventurers, and book lovers craving a book-centric weekend getaway with like-minded book lovers.

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 about two-and-a-half hours from New York City by car, or accessible by the Amtrak train to Hudson, NY (Windham is a 35-minute cab ride from Hudson. We can provide cab recommendations). You can also fly into Albany, NY, which is an hour-and-fifteen minutes 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, or mushroom picking.
-
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, so we encourage you to try to finish. We have really deep conversations that stem from the book’s main themes. There will be downtime before our discussion for you to catch up!

How many women attend, and what's the age range?
There are usually 7-10 women. The ages range from early-30s to late-50s, and we’ve had wonderful intergenerational conversations. All women are welcome.
