Hi folks,

This will be my main UK retreat of the year and I am very excited about it!

This award winning venue (within the sacred enclosure of Avalon near Glastonbury) is perfect for this retreat and very accessible too: just 90 mins from London!

It may well sell out so please do book your place ASAP if you want to come and I look forward to spending 4 days of deep transformation with you!

Lucid Dreaming into The Shadow Immersive Retreat, Glastonbury, May 7th-10th

In this immersive lucid dreaming retreat we’ll explore how to transform the third of our lives that we spend in bed by learning how to dream lucidly and transform our shadows consciously.

A lucid dream is a dream in which we are actively aware that we are dreaming as the dream is happening.

Once we are lucid we gain access to the deepest depths of the unconscious mind which allows us to engage in psychological healing at a level often unattainable in the waking state.

Taking place at the beautiful Earth Spirit Centre (see pics of venue HERE) near historic Glastonbury this retreat will include everything you need to learn how to lucid dream and to face and embrace your shadow side.

Sourced from his new book "Do The Shadow Work" (published in Spring 2025) Charlie will be offering a fully updated and revised set of shadow work practices to the retreat. But what is the shadow?

The Shadow is made up of all that we hide from others: our shame, our fears, our psychological wounds, but also our golden potential, our blinding beauty and our hidden talents. It is a huge source of power and creativity but until we bring it into the light this power will remain untapped and our full potential unreached.

Imagine if we could meet our shadow in a lucid dream? We can.
Using the “No Mud, No Lotus” approach this retreat will guide you to the gold that lies within your shadow through both lucid dream and waking state exercises.

We’ll combine an immersive 12-hour daily schedule of both lucid dreaming and shadow work with optional night-time practices to create the best possible conditions for having transformational lucid dreams.

The retreat includes teachings on the history, science and practice of lucid dreaming from both the Western and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, instructions on how to maintain awareness into sleep, recognition of the dreamlike nature of reality and of course plenty of practical teachings on learning how to lucid dream.

Charlie’s teaching style is highly practical: using music, movement and interactive exercises to help deepen the learning experience.

Highlights include:
• Learning how to Lucid dream
• Exploring our personal shadows
• Shamanic Mask & Mirror work
• Tibetan Buddhist dream yoga
• Morning dream circles
• Yoga Nidra sessions

The retreat is open to complete beginners (as well as seasoned practitioners) and give you everything you need to learn how to lucid dream and how to face & embrace your shadow.

The end goal of this work is to become- in the words of Charlie’s teacher Lama Yeshe Rinpoche “more awake, more aware, more kind.”
**************************************************************
NB: How do the optional night-time practices work exactly?

Participants can choose to spend the second half of the night sleeping in the workshop space where they will be guided into several sessions of lucid dream practice. The night-time wake ups are totally optional though so if you would prefer to stay in your room then that’s absolutely fine.

If you do intend to do the night-time sessions please bring:
• A camping mattress/roll matt
• A sleeping bag/blanket.
• Extra pillow if you need one
• Enthusiasm and a sense of humour!
