For book lovers, our relationship with books is often deeply personal. Our shelves can mirror our intellectual journeys, hold cherished memories, and symbolize future dreams. But when collections grow too large, those same beloved books can begin to feel heavy — becoming a source of guilt, pressure, and visual clutter instead of joy.
In this 3-day course, you’ll learn how to thoughtfully curate a library that truly reflects who you are today. With gentle guidance, you’ll discover how to recognize which books still spark joy and which have already fulfilled their purpose. You’ll explore practical techniques for letting go with gratitude, organizing your shelves with care, and creating a personal library that inspires rather than overwhelms.
By the end, you’ll have transformed your relationship with your books - building a collection that honors your past while leaving room for new literary adventures that align with your present and future self.
