Poolside Pages & Fireside Chats

Join us in East Hampton, NY · May 28-31, 2026

You don’t need permission to pause.
But you might need a place designed for it.

This spring, join us in East Hampton for a retreat built around what book lovers crave most: uninterrupted time to read, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with others who get it. Imagine mornings spent with coffee and quiet pages, afternoons wrapped in thoughtful conversation, and evenings full of laughter and firelight.

It’s more than a weekend away. It’s a chance to exhale—and to feel inspired again.

Only one room left. Come write your next chapter with us.
