Why the Reading Hearth Exists
The world pulls women outward.
This space invites you inward.
The Reading Hearth offers:
Monthly book selections
Chosen to nourish, soothe, deepen, or delight — aligned with the themes you explore in The Reconnection Space and the pace of the seasons.
​
A cosy community of women
We read alongside one another, not for pressure but for companionship — a small circle of quiet enthusiasm.
Reflection prompts & gentle guidance
Thoughtful questions, quotes, and journaling invitations that help you connect the story to your own life.
A slower, softer reading experience
You’re encouraged to savour, pause, and read in a way that feels restorative, not rushed.

Some months call for depth, some for joy, some for imagination.
You’ll find a nourishing blend of:
-
beautifully written fiction
-
soulful non-fiction
-
lyrical nature writing
-
quiet, reflective stories
and occasionally, a book that simply feels like a warm hug.
Our guiding principle is simple:
Books that feel like a hearth-fire: warm, honest, illuminating.
How The Reading Hearth Works
1. Monthly Book Announcement
At the beginning of each month, you receive:
-
the title
-
a warm welcome note
-
suggested reading pace
-
reflection themes
​​
2. Mid-Month Reflection Sparks
A handful of gentle prompts sent to your inbox or shared in the group.
​
3. End-of-Month Gathering
A relaxed online circle where we talk about the book, life, and everything in between.
No pressure to have finished the book — come as you are.
The Reading Hearth is for you if you long for:
-
stories that make you feel
-
space to reflect rather than react
-
community without noise
-
a monthly moment that’s just for you
-
a cosy ritual that fits into the rhythm of your life
​​
Whether you read with a cup of tea, under a blanket, or outdoors with the birds — this is your space.
​
Reading isn’t just something we do —
it’s a way we return to ourselves.
