Charlotte Church's The Dreaming retreat to pause in December

Charlotte Church has announced that her wellness retreat, The Dreaming, will take a temporary pause starting in December as she and her team take time to reflect and develop new ideas for the future. Located at Rhydoldog House near Rhayader in Powys, the retreat has been a sanctuary for many, offering opportunities to reconnect with nature and spirituality.

The property, previously owned by fashion designer Laura Ashley, was purchased by Church in 2021. Its transformation was featured in a documentary series on the Discovery Channel, drawing attention to the unique vision behind the retreat. Over the past five years, The Dreaming has welcomed more than 3,000 visitors, all seeking a deeper connection with the natural world and themselves.

This pause will be a time to listen attentively and prepare for new beginnings.

Acknowledging the current complexities and crises confronting the world, the statement highlighted the necessity of approaching the future with honesty and bravery about the retreat’s role and services. Though no specific date has been given for when The Dreaming will reopen, the team assured followers that it will return eventually, emphasizing their commitment to coming back “from the dream realm.
