3 Nights / Held Weekly All Year Round

We warmly welcome you to our Dreaming Signature Retreats. These retreats are a gentle call back to true nature, within yourselves and with the magical and ancient lands, forests and waterfalls that surround us.

We hold our signature retreats weekly throughout the year on a Tuesday to Friday, or Friday to Monday. Curated as a nourishing antidote to the complexities and overstimulation of the modern world, our retreats beckon you to digitally detox, and lean in to a healing, most memorable few days.

Through mindful activities, deep connection to the land, and ancient practices, we aim to soothe and restore your nervous system, leaving you enriched by the enchanting landscapes, delicious food, and meaningful connections you’ll experience here.

5 Nights / Multiple Dates in 2025

Charlotte is thrilled to invite you to ‘Song of the Soul’, her new ground-breaking series of signature retreats at The Dreaming that blends research, ancient indigenous practises, and her personal experiences with sound to help you uncover your unique voice in the world.

Our aim? Help you remember that you are wild. By harnessing the resonance and healing power of your voice, we will lead you through a journey to discover the story of you, past, present, & future.

Curated and delivered by Charlotte herself and inspired by her own decades-long journey through voice and sound, she wants her life experience and work to empower you to discover your authentic self and what makes your soul sing.

3 Nights / 18th - 21st April 2025

This retreat will be a reverent offering of love, drawing upon devotional practices for our queer hearts.

You are warmly invited to join Sanah and Daniel as we gather and tend to the wounds of unlove, seeded by society and cultivated by the pervasive climate of I, me and mine.

Together, we will be paying loving attention to processes of heartbreak, queer drama, community rupture, grievance and grief, with the loving company of remembrance, stillness, awakened care and spiritual practice.

This retreat is a queer invitation to return to the fullness of one’s humanity, building altars to the messiness of being alive, and opening up to a collective sense of we, us and ours.

4 Nights / 28th April - 2nd May 2025

Come and gather with us on this 4 night ceremonial retreat, where the fire of Beltaine burns bright as we honour this Celtic tide in the moment suspended between Spring’s tender bloom, and Summer’s golden embrace.

As Beltaine ushers in the warmth of summer, we acknowledge the union of masculine and feminine energies and the renewal of life in all its forms. As always, we will deeply connect with the natural world and embrace the abundant energy of the season.

This sacred gathering will be guided by Kerry Sanson, one of our lead practitioners at TheDreaming, known for her deep knowledge of ancient traditions and rituals. She will be joined by Naoko Takiguchi, our Shamanic practitioner and Fire Ceremony facilitator, and Rebecca Wyn Kelly, artist and environmental activist.

3 Nights / 23rd - 26th May 2025

Join us for a 4-day journey into the heart of the Elan Valley, where we — melanated women of African and Caribbean descent — gather to remember the sacred art of dreaming, to rediscover the joy of play, and to sink into deep, nourishing rest.

“A Call to Dream” is a retreat created for melanated women of African and Caribbean descent to rest, release, and re-imagine what it means to simply BE.

Together, over four days we will slow down, tune into nature's rhythm, connect with the earth, anchor our roots, savour the art of flow and create a sacred space to honour the divine within.

1 Day / 10th & 18th June 2025

Optional Overnight Stay Available

If you’ve ever considered a retreat with us, but haven’t been able to commit to a longer stay, this is the perfect opportunity to experience a small slice of the full retreat experience at a fraction of the normal cost.

Our Day Retreats invite you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and nurture your creative spirit.

Surrounded by the magic of the land, you’ll spend the day weaving moments of stillness, creativity, and exploration, guided by the rhythms of the natural world.

Through hands-on nature crafting, mindful connection with the land, nourishing meals, and a full Rhydoldog House tour, this retreat offers a glimpse into the heart of our retreat centre with an opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself, the Earth, and the simple joys of life.

4 Nights / 13th - 17th June 2025

An enchanting 5 Day retreat led by Charlotte Church & Tree Carr for 17 souls ready to embody their magic through ritual, nature, and deep witchcraft practices during the Waning Gibbous Moon phase.

This immersive retreat is designed to activate the witch within: blending ancient wisdom, elemental magic, and deep self-exploration. This retreat is an opportunity to rekindle your craft through ritual, herbalism, dream-work, plant-spirit connection, meditation, sound, and sacred art.

Each day will be themed around a different aspect of the Witch’s Path, all guided by the five elements of earth, water, air, fire and spirit.  We will move from awakening, healing and reclaiming to deepening and manifesting.

The Dreaming, a haven nestled in magical lands of Wales, provides the perfect setting for witches to reconnect with the old ways. Through guided experiences in forest bathing, herbal alchemy, candle magic, dream initiation, and communal rituals, we awaken our power and forge a deeper relationship with nature, self, and spirit.

3 Nights / 29th July - 1st August 2025

Belonging is a 4-day retreat designed to gently weave families back together, in trust, in love, and in deep mutual respect.
This is not a parenting course. This is not a holiday camp. This is a call to remember who we are to each other and to the land. We’ll be providing two parallel programmes for parents/carers and their young people aged 7-16.

It is so often the case, that amidst the relentless pace of modern life, we can find it challenging to properly nurture the relationships that are most important to us: those within our own families.

Parents and guardians trying to find balance between work-life commitments and focussed time spent with their kids can feel they are not doing enough to foster trust and friendship in those relationships, or that the quality of communication can be frayed.

The demands upon young people’s attention from social media, gaming, and potentially unhealthy peer groups, can add to the strain upon the parent-child relationship, with neither party feeling like they properly understand the other’s perspective.

4 Nights / 30th October - 3rd November 2025

Embark on a 5-day journey deep in the lands of the Welsh Cambrian Mountains, where we walk in the footsteps of our ancestors, guided by the ancient Celtic traditions of Samhain.

As the natural world turns inward, we gather for our Samhain Retreat, immersing ourselves in the rich traditions of Celtic and Welsh lore. This season marks a profound cycle of death and rebirth, inviting us to acknowledge what has ended and prepare for new beginnings.

At this sacred moment, when the veil between the seen and unseen worlds is thin, we invite you to join us in walking the path of our ancestors. Together, we will engage in mindful rituals rooted in ancient Celtic wisdom, embracing the darkness while celebrating the light within.
