Mocha Girls Read - Tempe

Inspired by best-selling novel, Before I Let Go, The Well Read + Well Traveled Retreat will take you on a journey of hope and healing with other readers who need a space to learn ways to cope after loss.

Read during a time where the loss of a loved one was fresh, your host Emani Glee, will curate a space for readers to explore the depths of their own grief, but also what it means to find the light on the other side.

In Before I Let Go, award-winning author, Kennedy Ryan, handled heavy themes of grief and depression with immense care and intention that was validating for every reader who has experienced loss.

While the loss the characters experienced may be different than your own, grief has no boundaries.

It is with this knowing in mind, the healing we seek to reduce the aching in our hearts and minds can be found in activities that we may have never considered.

Together we will explore a variety of ways to take care of ourselves after loss, while connecting with other readers in community to uplift and empower each other as we learn to navigate life’s ebbs and flows.

In an interview, Kennedy said she wanted the book to balance grief and joy, so although we're dealing with heavy topics, there will be lots of fun and laughs too!

Hey Mocha Girls!

Get ready for a fantastic meetup where you can enjoy your favorite beverages (soda, coffee, tea, or water) and exchange books! Bring along up to two books you're ready to part with and trade them with fellow members.

No books to swap? No worries! Come join us anyway and browse through the selection. We want everyone to have a blast, whether you're bringing books or not. New faces are always welcome!

We're eager to see you all there and explore some new reads together! And for those who can't make it to this one, we have five more Sip and Swaps scheduled this year! Looking forward to seeing you all there!
