Dear Kindred Spirit,
Have you ever longed to step inside the pages of your favorite novel—to steal away to a grand estate, gather with kindred souls, and linger over tea and conversation as if time itself had slowed?
Plan now and as summer fades into autumn that longing will become reality.
The Teapot Society’s: A Novel Escape is more than a retreat—it’s an invitation for all generations to step into a world of charm, depth, and connection.
For four magical nights, we’ll gather in our historic Virginia manor, walking where history lingers, reading where great minds once thought, and forging friendships that feel as if they’ve always existed.
Moments that feel like a Little Women came to life.

MEET YOUR RETREAT HOST
Casey Cashell is a storyteller at heart, a content creator, and a homemaker with a passion for helping others use their God-given stories and homes to impact their families, local communities, and the world. She is also the founder of the Instagram Storytellers Academy, where she equips entrepreneurs, creatives, and business owners to harness the power of social media—not for fleeting trends, but for eternal impact.
With four small children and a herd of goats in tow, she and her husband Jason, stepped into an extraordinary adventure— breathing a new chapter of life into Mayhurst Estate, a historic Victorian Italianate manor in Virginia, where they have merged their love for home, business, ministry and family into a one-of-a-kind retreat center.
One of Casey’s greatest joys has been cultivating an absolutely magical space for kindred souls from around the world to meet.
This is your chance to join in the magic.
A society united by a love for great books, conversations filled with depth, & a love for history.
If summer calls for moonlit Jane Austen, then winter was made for Louisa May Alcott by the hearth.
This winter, we’ll each immerse ourselves in Little Women, reading it before the retreat. Then, on a most magical retreat night, we will curl up in Mayhurst’s 200 year old Summer Kitchen and watch the film together by the warmth of the crackling fire.
Time will slow down as we soak in inspired moments to journal, create beeswax candles, and take out paintbrushes in a guided still-life art session, have meaningful conversations over scones and tea.
On the final afternoon of our retreat, we will slip into timeless elegance—dressing in Colonial and Victorian attire, just as if we had stepped out of the pages of history. Grab your camera and have a blast taking photos and videos around the Victorian estate.
As twilight deepens, we will gather in our vintage attire for a final farewell like no other—a elegant candlelit dinner at Mayhurst, where flickering flames dance on vintage china, where warm conversation and soft laughter fill the air.
A night of beauty. A night of sisterhood. A night to remember forever.
