Our Mission
At our book retreats, we believe literature is more than escape — it’s a mirror, a compass, and a bridge. Through carefully chosen books rooted in meaningful themes, we create space for deep personal reflection, joyful connection, and grounded presence with the natural world.
Our mission is to help people truly see themselves — and each other — by exploring the emotions, questions, and insights that stories awaken. We gather in beautiful, natural settings to slow down, laugh, learn, and reconnect — with ourselves, with others, and with the earth.
We do this because we love books, we believe in the power of shared experience, and we know that growth, healing, and joy are all part of the same story.
About Us
We’re Meghan and Maggie—friends since our wonderfully awkward high school years, and longtime co-conspirators in all things bookish.
Across different cities and different eras of our lives, we’ve wandered used bookstores on opposite coasts, traded dog-eared favorites across time zones, and somehow always found our way back to long conversations about the stories that were changing us.
Overleaf Retreats grew from that lifelong thread—an invitation to share the magic of reading deeply, creating space for reflection, and connecting with others who love getting lost in a good book just as much as we do
