Witchy Book Retreat

With Resting Wolf at Bask Retreat center (1.5 hour drive from Nashville!)

October 23-25, 2026

About this retreat

Escape invites book lovers of all backgrounds to connect with others, expand your world views, and reflect on what literature can teach you about yourself. “Reading as medicine” will be layered into our core retreat model, featuring gentle movement such as daily yoga and forest walks, meditation, and a balance of meaningful group discussion and intentional time for curling up with a great book in one of our reserved quiet reading spaces.

For fans of Practical Magic, A Discovery of Witches, and Weyward - our October retreat will explore the representation of witches and witchcraft in literature, unpacking themes of sisterhood, gender equality and our fascination with the magical world.
