Reading & Writing Retreats · For BIWOC
Read, write, and wander together.
Small-group retreats for Black, Indigenous, and other women of color: slow mornings, good books, time to write, and somewhere beautiful to do it.
Who they’re for
Made for Black, Indigenous, and other women of color
Our retreats are created for BIWOC readers and writers: a few days to rest, read, make something, and be among women who understand the stories you carry.
Each one brings a small group together somewhere beautiful, with room for real conversation about books, unhurried hours to write, and the kind of little delights that make a trip feel like your own.
What it feels like
Reading together
Book conversations on rooftops and in sunny corners, with a shared read chosen for the place.
Time to write
Quiet, protected hours for your own pages, with gentle prompts if you want them.
Wandering
Slow walks, markets, a cooking class, and the small discoveries in between.
Good meals
Retreats usually include breakfast each morning and some lunches, with plenty of time at the table.
Our last retreat

Who are the retreats for?
Our retreats are created for Black, Indigenous, and other women of color: readers, writers, and the endlessly curious.
Do I need to be a writer?
Not at all. Bring a book you love, a notebook if you like, and an appetite for good conversation. Published, aspiring, or simply book-obsessed, you belong here.
What’s usually included?
Retreats usually include your stay, breakfast each morning, and some lunches, along with reading conversations, quiet writing time, and a few shared experiences. Details are shared with each retreat’s dates.
Where will the next retreat be?
We’re planning now, with both domestic and international options in mind. Waitlist answers help us choose where to go and what to offer, so tell us what you’d love.
