Main Character Reading Retreat: A Vibrant Life Society Retreat

This is the weekend where you disappear into a book…
look up…
and realize you’ve accidentally made new friends.

The Main Character Reading Retreat is a staycation-style book retreat for women who love stories, shared experiences, and time that actually feels like theirs.

From Friday evening through Sunday morning, this retreat blends reading, connection, and rest in a way that feels natural—not forced. There’s structure where it helps and freedom everywhere else.

Think: reading side by side, talking about fictional characters like they’re real people, optional bookish crafts, laughing in pajamas, and going at your own pace the entire weekend.

This retreat is for women who:

• Love books and stories
• Want to meet new friends naturally
• Enjoy shared experiences without forced vulnerability
• Want rest and fun in the same weekend
• Don’t want to be “on” for anyone

You don’t need to be a serious reader.
You just need to love stories and good company.

✨ A new book (and probably a new favorite author)
✨New connections that feel easy and real
✨ That post-sleepover glow
✨ A reminder that your life gets to be romanticized too
