This Book Is a Retreat - LAUNCH DAY! (August 22, 2025)

Dear loves,

Today is a special day, and I wish to share it with you. Because if you've followed this newsletter, but haven't yet come to a retreat or a circle, then we are about to make it even more accessible for you to immerse in the retreat vibes. 

My dear friend, and USA Today bestselling author, Marianne Richmond and I have created a guided writing journal that takes you on a profound retreat journey from wherever you are. That journey—just as with the retreats—is within, and it is a path of questions into remembering, allowing, and embracing more of the unique essential self you already are.

This Book Is A Retreat: 101 Soul-Nourishing Questions to Reconnect With Yourself is out TODAY. Through these pages and across eleven powerful themes, we invite you on an adventure of inspiring quotes and heart-opening prompts to explore.

"Authenticity is a seed to nurture and grow, moment to moment. It's a divine right and a returning. True permission and truest prayer. And the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and to others." - This Book Is A Retreat

We wanted to offer you a writing journal with richness and depth. One that holds held real substance as each question opens and invites you into an adventure of allowing and embracing yourself, your life force, and your life.

Both Marianne and I are lovers of the questions that open us, whether that inspires a deep appreciation for the ordinary, the ability to sit with an uncomfortable feeling, loosening an identity skin that once held you too tight, or remembering what experiences in life gift you a sense of self-forgetting transcendence or make you more known to yourself.  

Ultimately, this book is going to hold far more of YOUR words than ours. And we just LOVE that. You can embark on this retreat anywhere as you experience where it may take you...

I would absolutely love for you to join in this expanded circle experience with us! I would love to hear from you if and when you have the book. We would love to see your online review if you enjoy it! We would love to see women sharing their personal retreat spots with the book! Or circling around it!

If you want to volunteer to help spread the word, please let me know and I will make it easy. And, I will soon be announcing an online opportunity to join in this book journey in a community with me!

You can order your copy from Barnes & Noble. Or Amazon (with a little patience)*. Or if you'd like to see a preview first, I'm putting one together. Hit reply and ask me to see it! I would always enjoy to hear from you.

**FUN FACT: With so many pre-orders, many by the women who have been in this circle and are supporting this launch with their love, we woke up to find Amazon had sold out their stock...On launch day! I'm so grateful. And they'll be restocked soon. 

Much love,

Aimee
