I am absolutely thrilled to share this special collaboration with you today!
and I have joined forces to bring you something extraordinary for our upcoming “Rest & Read” weekend retreat this June. We’ll be featuring the stunning new publication “Slanting Towards the Sea” by . A debut novel that has profoundly moved both of us with its lyrical exploration of connection and solitude.In this video, we give you a glimpse into why we selected this particular book and how it perfectly embodies the spirit of being by the ocean, and what we’re creating together at our reading retreat.
We can’t wait to share this literary retreat with you in June, where we’ll dive deeper into these beautiful pages together.
So far this is my favourite book of 2025! So of course I’m going to highly recommend you pre-order a copy of Slanting Towards The Sea






REST & READ WEEKEND RETREAT | 6-8 JUNE | WEST WALES
WHAT TO EXPECT: A weekend dedicated solely to reading. This experience will broaden your reading horizons, inspire you to reconnect with your inner reader, push your creativity to new heights and help shape the course of your reading life.
In today's fast-paced digital world, a reading retreat offers the chance to unplug from screens and reconnect with the written word. The retreat will offer solace and respite from screens, and the perfect excuse to disconnect from technology and engage in the simple pleasure of reading.
Our days will be spent immersed in reading, discussing books and connecting with our literary selves. We will also experience delicious food and wine, with ample time for curling up with books in cosy reading nooks.
EXCLUSIVE EXTRAS:
A literary goody bag: guests will all be given a goody bag including a book for Saturday’s Silent Book Club (short enough to read on the Saturday afternoon, ahead of a lively discussion the next day) and literary treats to help you on your reading journey.
A bibliotherapy session book prescription: Prior to the retreat, Lucy will send each guest a questionnaire, to find out more about their likes and dislikes, and what they want more of in their reading life. Each guest will then have a 45-minute session with Lucy, during which she will discuss your reading habits and give you a bespoke book prescription.
THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF:
You want to discover books that resonate deeply with your personal journey and goals.
You feel stuck in a reading rut and want to explore new genres and authors.
You’re looking for a relaxing escape to immerse yourself in the joy of reading.
