A Monthly Escape to Recharge, Grow, and Reconnect

The Book Club was designed with exactly this in mind—a safe, supportive space where you can hit pause, gather with like-minded women, and reconnect with who you truly are.

More than just a book club, this is a sanctuary where personal growth meets soulful self-care.

It’s a gentle, nurturing retreat for your mind, body, and spirit.

We know you crave more than just another to-do on your list. You want meaningful moments of connection, tools to manage stress, and a community that gets you. That’s exactly what The Book Club offers. It's a space to step away from the noise of life and tap into something deeper. You’ll leave not only feeling more balanced but also armed with empowering knowledge and practices to carry forward into your everyday world.

With practices like yin yoga, sound healing, reiki and breathwork, you’ll learn to tune into your body’s needs and embrace a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Lasting Empowerment

There’s nothing like good food to bring people together. At The Connected Collective food always forms a big part of the experience so you can expect lots of yummy breakfast dishes that fuel connection and conversation.

Food & Drink

Start your day with coffee and mingling, followed by a grounding wellness practice and meditation. Enjoy a delicious breakfast, then dive into our book discussion with a fresh perspective!

The Morning / evening Itself

We meet once a month on a weekday at a location in Dubai from 9am -11.30am. The dates and venue will be confirmed before we open applications so you will be able to block them out in your diary. We also run an evening option on a Tuesday if you are unable to join us during the day, or simply you prefer to wind down the day with us.

Meeting Details

Each month, vote on our book choices. I’ll share options and the one with the most votes becomes our next read.

Who is The Book Club for? 

For Those Seeking Connection and Growth

Our Book Club is designed for those who are craving more than just a book discussion—it's for women seeking a deeper connection with themselves and others. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands and are looking for a space where you can pause, reflect, and recharge, you’ll find your tribe here.

Ideal for expats, busy professionals, or anyone who’s juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, our club offers a refreshing escape from the everyday hustle. It’s for those who are ready to embrace holistic practices and engage in meaningful conversations that go beyond surface-level chatter.

You don’t have to be a self-help enthusiast to join; you just need to be open to new experiences and eager to connect with like-minded women. Whether you’re new to personal development or a seasoned pro, you’ll find a welcoming environment where your voice is heard, your growth is supported, and your well-being is nurtured.

The Power of Connection

From Busy to Balanced

When you join The Connected Collective Book Club, it’s not just about reading a book—it’s about finding a space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and others. In the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to lose sight of who we are, buried under roles and responsibilities. This empowering female community offers a moment to slow down, reflect, and rediscover your own voice.

Through empowering reads and meaningful conversations, you’ll gain insights that help you navigate life with more balance, clarity, and confidence. You’ll leave each gathering feeling nourished—mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually—with practical tools to bring more calm and presence into your everyday.

And it’s not just about the personal growth. Being part of a community like ours means forming genuine connections with other women who, just like you, crave meaningful interaction and real support. You'll be reminded that you're not alone on this journey, and that’s a transformation in itself. You’ll walk away feeling more connected, centered, and ready to face the demands of this crazy modern life with a little more ease, and a lot more resilience.

Daniela

Trying to sum up The Connected Collective is very difficult. It wasn't just about discussing the books, it felt like a mini retreat with great food and really interesting, in-depth conversations. Meeting other mums who were on the same page was truly amazing, turning the book club into this supportive crew where we all just clicked. The monthly sessions hosted by Harriet were the highlight of my month, and the connections made have stuck around. I'm still in touch with most of the women, proving that TCC was more than just a book club, it was a welcoming spot where good reads and new friendships mixed perfectly.

I found my first book club experience to be faultless! A gorgeous setting, extremely calming and an excellent way to start the day year.  Also, my first session was a far more welcoming and open environment than I expected for entering a group of women I had never met before. You can’t always count on that in Dubai but Harriet, the coaches & the other ladies are extremely inclusive. 10/10!

Aimee

I’ve only attended one session so far but I absolutely loved it. I felt like I was having time for just ME for the first time in a very long time. Everyone was super welcoming & I loved the overall vibe! To anyone who might be considering joining - do it, trying something new has been such a joy!

Carly

This was such a special experience. Not only did I meet some wonderful women but my eyes were opened to all different kinds of classes and workshops that I had never come across. It made me commit to reading books that I always promise myself I would but never do and they enriched my life through learning new skills and thought patterns. Harriet created perfect, wholesome days with a welcoming, insightful community through the Connected Collective and I will be back for more.

FAQs

What kind of books do we read?

We always focus on personal development, self-care, and wellness. Think titles that inspire growth, reflection, and insight. I choose 5 books each month that are put forward for group vote. If anyone has read any of the choices then that option will be switched out for another. The winning book is chosen by majority vote.

Do you only meet on week days? 

At the moment yes. The groups meet on either Wednesday or Thursday mornings, at the Lolo House in Al Quoz. The dates are always confirmed and shared before the spots are opened. We are looking into an evening option for the Book Club, and we do also have the Online Book Club if you are not able to make those timings. 

Is it only for mums?

No absolutely not! We welcome women from all walks of life looking to connect, grow, and take some time for themselves.

What's included in the price? 

The price includes monthly in-person gatherings, a curated workbook with reflection prompts, wellness practices, a delicious breakfast with coffee and a smoothie, and access to our private WhatsApp group for ongoing support and connection. You'll also get exclusive book selections, insightful discussions, and a welcoming community which is quite frankly, priceless!

Is there a fitness element involved?

Nope, this is more about grounding and connecting. We do light grounding, restorative wellness practices, like meditation or breathwork, to help calm the mind and body. 

Are the practices very spiritual?

While the wellness practices we explore may have spiritual roots, they are always accessible and adaptable for everyone. The focus is on grounding, relaxation, and connecting with yourself, rather than any specific spiritual beliefs. You can engage in a way that feels comfortable for you! 

What should I expect?!

Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can relax, recharge, and connect. The motto for the Book Club is Empower your Mind, Nourish your Soul and Open your Heart. Each month includes mindful wellness practices, thought provoking discussions and nourishing soul connections with yourself and others. You'll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and supported by a community of like-minded women!

 What if I can't make one of the meetings?

There are no refunds for Book Club as the venues and practitioners are in paid in advance so before you commit, please do make sure you are able to make all of the meetings dates. If however you change your mind or need to cancel before our first meeting I will do my best to fill your spot and refund you in full.
