That would be my guess too (and I also didn't initially pick up that they were doing it as study without the brachot).
This is really interesting - I'd love to try this sometime.
I sometimes lein Torah in my (non-Orthodox!) congregation, and I really enjoy it. I hope that if this is something that speaks to you, you'll be able to eventually find a group of women to do it with in a community that will permit it (i.e. will let you use the sefer torah). Women's services per se don't do much for me, but if I weren't egalitarian they might well.
I'm not trying to lead you away from your path, of course; I assume you would consult your rabbi, as you did for t'fillin.
