Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is pack your bag, just for you.

There’s something incredibly powerful about deciding, “I’m going.”

Not waiting for your best friend to clear her calendar.
Not hoping your partner will understand.
Not needing a group text vote or a shared Pinterest board.
Just you, booking a spot, packing your bag, and choosing to show up for yourself.

That’s what a solo retreat is all about.
And no, it doesn’t mean being alone the whole time.
It means traveling solo, on purpose, to meet yourself in a new way, in a new place, with new people.

It’s not about isolation. It’s about intention.

At Cozy Girls Getaways, we welcome so many women who arrive solo and leave with full hearts, new friends, and the kind of peace you only find when you get quiet enough to hear your own thoughts.

A reader retreat in this context is your decision to step out of your day-to-day, even if no one else is coming with you. It’s:

• Saying yes to the book you haven’t had time to finish
• Saying yes to dinners where you don’t have to host or impress
• Saying yes to waking up in a cozy space with no alarms, no emails, and no pressure

You’re not alone, you’re just not responsible for anyone else. And that, in itself, is revolutionary.

Why traveling solo to a reading retreat is so healing

Most of us have been taught to wait:
Wait until someone can come with you.
Wait until the timing is perfect.
Wait until you’ve earned it.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t need permission to prioritize yourself.
You don’t need company to be worthy of connection.
You don’t need to be burnt out to deserve a break.

Traveling solo to a book retreat is the best of both worlds:
Quiet mornings to yourself
Soulful conversations around the table
Time to read, rest, and simply be

Thinking about a readers retreat? Here’s your sign.

You’re not “too introverted.”
You’re not “too late.”
You’re not “too much” or “not enough.”

You’re just a woman who knows she’s ready to rest, reconnect, and receive – without having to coordinate calendars or convince anyone else to come.

And that is powerful.

So if your heart’s been whispering “go,”
Let this be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.

We’ll be there to greet you with open arms, warm drinks, and zero pressure.
