Alchemise : Yoga & sound healing retreats
All my retreats are for students who attend my classes regularly. If you don’t currently attend my classes/workshops and would like to attend a retreat with me we can have a chat about how to make that possible.
I keep my retreats to those who are currently students as it’s a way of making sure most people are on the same page (or at least in the same book!). I teach a deep and spiritual practice so I mitigate having unknown people booking on so that the retreat energy can be contained and is therefore more beneficial for those who attend.
If you are interested in attending a retreat, I would suggest coming to classes so that you can make sure the energy is aligned for you.

“The retreat exceeded my expectations, Charlie has been amazing (as always), her knowledge and energy is very special, she always gives 110% (or more).
Glastonbury is such a special place, the venue was very nice and its location was perfect as it was close to the town centre and also close to the Tor and to the springs. The company was very lovely, we got along and connected very well with each other that of course added to such a special experience. The size of the group was also very good, not too small and not too big. I also loved the surprise Cacao ceremony and Siriarti and Charlie made it very special and magical.
I’m immensely grateful for this truly exceptional and uplifting experience! Thank you! <3"

A Retreat to Blossom and Bloom with the Libra Full Moon
11th – 14th April 2025
Glastonbury, UK
Join Charlie for a very special women’s Libra Full Moon retreat weekend held within the grounds of the Chalice Well Gardens, this is an opportune time to commune in this sacred space for amplified healing.
As we move away from the Equinox and past the inevitable intensity that the eclipses bring, this retreat offers a balm for the soul as we move closer to Beltane, and the blooming fertility that this season offers.
The timing of this special retreat straddles the full moon, which offers amplification of this blossoming, as this is the high point of the lunar cycle with peak illumination and a climax of energy. It is likened to the phase of fully blooming flowers, celebration, and manifestation. With the plant in full bloom, there is an expansion in consciousness, fulfilment of expression, and a culmination in bringing the vision into form.
