WITCH
Dates:
13th June - 17th June 2025
12th September - 16th September 2025
5th December - 9th December 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. 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 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.
A Day-Long Journey Through Death and Transformation
Why do we fear death?
Why does our culture avoid speaking about it?
What can we learn if we lean closer?
Could death be more than an end, perhaps even a teacher?
This full-day conference will bring together explorers, researchers, ritualists, and futurists as we discuss and honour Death: the fundamental essence of nature’s cycles, yet often an avoided conversation in modern Western society.
Following the Samhain weekend, we’ll move beyond convention and dive into Death, bringing to light perceptions and beliefs that traverse the globe and across time. Our diverse line-up of experts will explore everything from sacred ancestral rituals to local traditions and the potential of AI.
Expect a blend of talks, panel discussions, gentle ritual, and space for reflection.We’ll also have a Chill room with Tarot, books to read, and time to relax. Food and drinks will be available from The Baths Cafe.
This will be an immersive experience designed to shift how you see life, death, and transformation.
Drinks, meals and snacks are available to purchase at The Baths House. Alternatively, there are plenty of restaurants around the area. Please note that this is an alcohol free event.

Wednesdays (Online – 90 min) | Sundays (In Person – 3 hrs)
Step into a transformative 4-week immersion to awaken and heal the sacred feminine within. Through ritual, ceremony, dreamwork, and embodied practices, we’ll explore the archetypes of the Mother, Sister, and Wise Woman—those timeless inner guides who hold our deepest wisdom, power, and compassion.
Many of us carry subtle imprints around these archetypes—old stories, ancestral patterns, or unmet needs that shape how we love, nurture, and express ourselves. In this journey, we’ll weave healing and remembrance, creating a safe, soulful space to reconnect with the radiant essence of the feminine and restore balance to the heart.
Our journey begins February 1st, 2026, on the Full Moon at Imbolc—a sacred Celtic festival of renewal and returning light. As the Earth stirs with the first whispers of spring, so too can your inner world awaken to new vitality and purpose.

The Witch Trials of Britain with Tree Carr
on Saturday the 18th October 2025 at 3:30 pm
Join author, death doula, and transpersonal therapist and high priestess witch Tree Carr for a haunting lecture that brings to light one of the darkest chapters in British history — the witch trials.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, thousands of people — mostly women — were accused, tortured, and executed as witches across the British Isles. In this powerful talk, Tree explores how these brutal persecutions were rooted in misogyny, religious extremism, state-sanctioned violence, classism, ableism, and deep-seated fear of the "other."
Far from mere superstition, the witch hunts were tools of control — silencing those who dared to live differently: healers, midwives, herbalists, widows, and mystics. Tree unpacks the social, political, and psychological forces that drove these atrocities, from King James VI’s obsession with demonology to the role of community betrayal, scapegoating, and systemic cruelty.
This is not just a history lesson — it’s a call to remembrance, justice, and awareness. Through stories of the accused, Tree invites us to bear witness to the silenced, to honour the misunderstood, and to reflect on the ways oppression still echoes today.
Come with open hearts and questioning minds — and leave with a deeper understanding of the witch wound still woven through our collective memory.
