A five-day retreat led by singer-songwriter Charlotte Church is now available to book, but the “witchy” experience doesn’t come cheap. The 39-year-old star, currently appearing on BBC show The Celebrity Traitors, is offering a guided retreat of witchcraft and rituals during the Waning Gibbous Moon phase in Wales, with space for 17 attendees per session.

However, the cost of the retreat, particularly the accommodation, has left some potential attendees taken aback. While some fans are thrilled at the “incredible” chance to delve into the world of witchcraft with Church, the steep price may deter others. The “Witch Retreat” prices start from £1,199 per person.

According to the booking website, this would be the most affordable option for a couple, with solo traveller accommodations starting from £1,299 per person.

The event description reads: “An enchanting 5-day retreat led by Charlotte Church and 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.

“Led by singer and spiritual guide Charlotte Church and High Priestess and author Tree Carr, this retreat is an opportunity to rekindle your craft through ritual, herbalism, dream-work, plant-spirit connection, meditation, sound, and sacred art.

“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.”

Each day will centre around themes of “earth, water, air, fire and spirit”, though reconnecting with nature comes at a steep price of more than £1,000 just for lodging.

Whilst the accommodation appears impressive, participants will be sharing dormitory-style bunks with strangers unless their booking group “prefer solitude”.

The website explains: “Our distinctive approach assigns beds individually rather than by room, encouraging interactions with fellow guests. Embracing shared living is ingrained in The Dreaming values, creating an environment where meaningful bonds flourish.”

Two retreats are planned for next year – the first running from July 17 to July 21, and the second from November 13 to November 17, 2026.

Despite the hefty accommodation costs, some were delighted by the announcement.

One enthusiast posted on Instagram: “Goosebumps! ! What an offering! So potent and powerful and present.

“The energy of WITCH is truly alive and she is undeniable! Your video creation is INCREDIBLE!! I pray to my ancestors that I can somehow come.”

Others claimed they were “manifesting” a spot on the witch retreat, with one commenting: “Stunning. I’m going to manifest a place for myself!” Church, who hasn’t released an album since 2010, will be at the helm of the retreat planned for next year.
