An exclusive look at Charlotte Church's wacky Welsh retreat

Celestial blessings, healing dances, sonic journeys. An exclusive peek inside Charlotte Church's wacky Welsh retreatThe church retreat takes place at The Dreaming in the remote depths of mid WalesJosa Keyes tries it out, with highlights like dancing in a silent nightclub loves)

You're in The Womb,” says The Dreaming's woolly-hatted director, as he shows in a room with a pink and cozy 1970s vibe. I could have been in The Mush-Room, The Mystic, The Wanderer or The Moon. In the bathroom, I find the "vaginal douche" - a pink Moroccan waterproof plaster, open and inviting.

Later Welsh Songbird Charlotte Church, 37, who just launched her retreat at The Dreaming, says they had no plans to create an official douche. Her appearance just suggested the name.

With seven other women and a man, mostly in their early 40s, I am here in the verdant depths of Mid Wales for a long weekend, without wi-fi or phone signal, to experience Charlotte's healing vision.

Motivations vary - one guest , from London, is keen to get away from her family for what she calls “me time”, another hates spas and is looking for a new form of relaxation; a third had seen Charlotte Church's Dream Build on Discovery+ and want to experience the results for themselves.

Frankly, I'm skeptical about anything that is 'magical' or 'spiritual' — but I'm reassured that the only magazine available is New Scientist.
