Guided journeys &
Reading Retreats

Travel farther.   Share the story.   Find your people.

The very first Next Passage journey began in Ireland with sixteen women who all shared a love for Cindy Kline's Molly McGuire series.  We expected beautiful scenery and great stories.  What we didn't expect was just how many laughs, friendships, and memories we'd bring home with us.
