Come Away With Me! It's a reading retreat

Join me on the trip of a lifetime...

Next year, I’m planning the trip of a lifetime. In late Spring/early Summer, I’ll be going away for a little while to engage in some deeply nourishing, restful, restorative activities. I’m hoping to achieve a balance between stillness, stimulation and serenity. Sometimes I struggle to really relax when I’m on holiday, and I suspect you do too. But this time, no matter how overworked or overwhelmed I feel when I arrive at the airport, I’m going to take rest seriously. This vacation is going to be all about looking after myself, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I’ll make this happen the best way I know. This is going to be a reading trip.

And I really hope that you’ll come with me.

Can’t you just picture us on those pool loungers?!

I’m collaborating with Aweventurer on a very special journey. It’s called the Read Yourself Happy retreat - my book of the same name will be published by DK in February 2025. I’m going to be bringing an intimate group of like-minded people together and guiding us all to get the most out of reading. Together, we’ll be choosing the books to read. I’ll be showing you how to get so much from blissful, breezy beach reads, and we’ll be bonding over some slightly more ambitious books too. We’ll come together, we’ll support each other, and we’ll make the reading experience magical.

This is a vacation book club that has been created to boost your mind and soul – I’m going to be making a kind, generous, inclusive space, designed to make you feel calmer, more confident, and excited to pick up your next book – the journey will last for longer than the trip itself.

Gorgeous Greece. I will bring spare books, just in case anyone drops theirs in the pool.

If you’re feeling a little bit creatively stuck, and you’re seeking inspiration, this is for you.

If you’ve been struggling to concentrate, and you want to find your path back into books in a way that brings you pure joy, this is for you.

If you’re a bit of an extroverted introvert – like me! – and you’d love to find the time and space to make some real connections with new people, but you’re a tiny bit daunted by that idea – this is for you.

Everyone who signs up the retreat will receive an early, signed, personalised edition of READ YOURSELF HAPPY – and you’ll also receive a bespoke book gift. When you sign up, you’ll have the opportunity to tell me all about the books you love and hate – and I’ll surprise you with a book that I’ve picked out just for you. (I might even leave them under the seats on the plane, like Oprah!)

The retreat will include reading workshops, creativity workshops and plenty of one on one time. If you’re interested in your own writing practise, or you’re simply seeking inspiration, I’ve got you.

At the moment, we have two possible location options – wild, wonderful Italy – or a gorgeous Greek island. When you visit the sign-up page, you’ll have the option to tell me where you’d like to go.

I’m so excited to have the opportunity to spend time with you, and to do something I’ve never done before with my CCC community.

We’ll be launching the trip at Aweventurer at the end of the month, and then we’ll be sharing details of the destination, pricing, and the full itinerary. This is your chance to be the first to sign up, and get all the information as soon as we have it!

I can’t wait to have this experience with you, I think it’s going to be magical!

Love
