The Green Man PodcastShow Notes
Delve into the mystical world of Charlotte Church, like you've never seen her before. In this part meditation, part interview with Huw Stephens at the Talking Shop on Friday afternoon at Green Man 2025, Charlotte takes us on a journey of reconnection to our breath, with nature, and with her healing retreat centre - The Dreaming - in the depths of the Elan Valley, Wales.
Charlotte Church is an award-winning singer, composer and activist. She is also the founder and lead practitioner at Welsh wellness retreat The Dreaming and, for many years, has used her platform for activism, passionate about environmental issues and human rights. In 2019 she set up 'The Awen Project', a charity that helps establish free-to-attend democratic learning communities for children. Join Charlotte at Green Man for an interactive introduction to The Dreaming, including a conversation with broadcaster Huw Stephens and a taster of the retreat’s programme, led by Charlotte.
