Looking out from Earthshine Lodge over the Pisgah National Forest in N.C.

Perhaps you’ve heard of weekend writers’ or artists’ retreats, yoga or meditative retreats, or others? How about a Reading Retreat: an entire weekend devoted to simply reading books, and if you’re in the mood for it, discussing your favorite new books?

And what if this Reading Retreat was to take place at an elevation of 3,000 feet in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, at a rustic-elegant lodge bordering the Pisgah National Forest? What if there were Literary Book Chats, cocktail hours, a fire pit, and there was to be yoga, guided meditation, and hiking? And, oh yeah: time to hang out with me, and talk about books, writing, and whatever else tickles your fancy? What if you could attend by yourself, or bring a friend?

I don’t know about y’all, but it sounds downright lovely. Booky people, after all, are the best people.

Ready to talk books!

Come meet me in the mountains! The Midsummer Reading Retreat will be held June 28-30, 2019 at beautiful Earthshine Lodge in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. For more information about the retreat, and to register, go to www.earthshinenc.com.
