From witch circles to sound baths… These 5 stars rely on spiritual retreats
When it comes to self-care, some stars take it to the next level, swapping red carpets for meditation mats, and paparazzi for positive energy.
From mystery mystical Welsh “witch camps” to Hollywood heavyweights leading yoga circles and ayahuasca ceremonies, these A-listers aren’t just chasing fame — they’re chasing enlightenment.
Here are 10 celebrities who’ve embraced the spiritual retreat life, whether by hosting, healing, or simply seeking peace...
1. Charlotte Church
The Welsh singer traded pop stardom for pagan vibes when she opened The Dreaming, her eco-retreat in the Elan Valley, Wales. Guests can attend full-moon “witch sessions,” forest bathing, and energy healing workshops.
She said: “I’m so grateful to have built a space where people can reconnect with nature.”
2. Gwyneth Paltrow
The Goop queen’s retreats are as luxurious as you’d expect - crystal healing, breathwork, and biohacking sessions at $5,000 a ticket. Her brand has been accused of commercialising wellness, but Paltrow defends it as “a journey of empowerment.”
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she said, “I’m not telling anyone how to live — I’m inviting them to explore themselves.”
3. Jared Leto
When he’s not touring with Thirty Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto runs his own “Mars Island” retreat in Croatia — a three-day festival-meets-spiritual getaway where guests (dressed in white) meditate, swim, and sing along to acoustic sets.
Leto once told Rolling Stone: “It’s about connection — with music, with nature, with yourself.”
4. Oprah Winfrey
Oprah doesn’t run retreats per se - but her annual “Soul Sessions” in Maui have drawn spiritual leaders like Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle.
She said: “It’s about finding your stillness.”
Fans flock for mindfulness, mantras, and maybe even a hug from the media mogul herself.
5. Demi Moore
The Striptease actress reportedly swears by wellness getaways and shamanic healing sessions. She’s attended ayahuasca ceremonies in South America and spiritual detoxes in Sedona, Arizona.
A close friend told Vanity Fair: “Demi’s focus isn’t fame anymore — it’s transformation.”
