Charlotte Church reflects on her upbringing in Cardiff's queer community, where she found joy and acceptance. This experience influenced her career and personal growth. Now, as the founder of The Dreaming, a wellness retreat in Wales, she aims to create a sanctuary for connection with nature and personal healing. The retreat offers specialized programs for marginalized communities, including queer individuals and women of color, demonstrating Church's commitment to inclusivity and community support.
"There's a fierceness and an emboldenedness that I have gained from my time within the queer community. Just that real, like, being flamboyant and fabulous in the face of f**kery."
"The Dreaming is a sanctuary to 'rest, restore, be playful and connect with nature'."
"You properly feel the sense that we are in greater hands here, and in my mind, those greater hands are Mother Nature."
"I felt held by the community... There's just such fun and joy and play and delight and discovery and naughtiness and irreverence."
