    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Roedd y wawr yn torri dros y Ddwyrain, taflu golau euraidd dros gopaon mynyddoedd y Brecon Beacons.
    En: Dawn was breaking over the East, casting a golden light over the peaks of the Brecon Beacons mountains.

    Cy: Wrth ochr afon fach a chyda pherarogl ffres awyr y bore, roedd y grŵp wedi ymgasglu ar lawr pren y maes caru.
    En: By the side of a small river and with the fresh scent of the morning air, the group had gathered on the wooden floor of the campsite.

    Cy: Roedd Rhiannon, gyda'i lygaid yn dal i'w lapio yn emosiynau o'r gorffennol, yn anadlu’n ddwfn.
    En: Rhiannon, with her eyes still wrapped in emotions from the past, took a deep breath.

    Cy: Daeth Emrys ymlaen tua'r canol.
    En: Emrys came forward to the center.

    Cy: Roedd ei bresenoldeb yn dawel ac yn ddofi.
    En: His presence was calm and gentle.

    Cy: Gallai rhywun deimlo ei gysylltiad â'r byd naturol trwy'r ffordd yr oedd yn symud a siarad.
    En: One could feel his connection to the natural world through the way he moved and spoke.

    Cy: "Gadewch i ni gychwyn," meddai, ei lais yn dawel fel murmur afon.
    En: "Let us begin," he said, his voice as quiet as the murmur of the river.

    Cy: Roedd Aeron, er gyda chynhesrwydd yn ei galon am Rhiannon, yn edrych o'r cwr llygaid ar yr olygfa.
    En: Aeron, though with warmth in his heart for Rhiannon, glanced sidelong at the scene.

    Cy: Nid oedd ef yno ar gyfer yoga na ysbrydegaeth, ond roedd yn benderfynol o gefnogi Rhiannon.
    En: He was not there for yoga or inspiration, but he was determined to support Rhiannon.

    Cy: Roedd y sesiwn yn dechrau gydag ymarferogi ystyried.
    En: The session started with mindfulness exercises.

    Cy: Roedd pawb yn sefyll mewn rhes, ysgwyddau'n ymlacio, llygaid wedi'u cau'n dyner.
    En: Everyone stood in a row, shoulders relaxed, eyes softly closed.

    Cy: Yn araf, roedd eu cyrff yn dechrau symud, gan lusgo ac ymestyn, wrth i'r haul godi yn uwch.
    En: Slowly, their bodies began to move, trailing and stretching, as the sun rose higher.

    Cy: Rhiannon wedi chael ei thynnu i mewn i rhythm y symudiadau, ond roedd ei meddyliau'n gwrthod ymlacio.
    En: Rhiannon was drawn into the rhythm of the movements, but her thoughts refused to relax.

    Cy: Roedd honno'n ynys galar oedd hi'n methu ei gadael.
    En: She was on an island of grief she couldn’t leave.

    Cy: Emrys, yn ymddangos fel pe bai yn gallu synhwyro'r anhawster yng nghalon Rhiannon, a arweiniodd y grŵp i mewn i amser o fyfyrdod.
    En: Emrys, seeming almost to sense the struggle in Rhiannon's heart, led the group into a time of meditation.

    Cy: Roedd y tir yn teimlo'n gynnes dan ei choesau croes.
    En: The ground felt warm beneath her crossed legs.

    Cy: Ar unwaith, fel adlais braf, daeth disgrhedig o dawelwch tuag ati.
    En: Suddenly, like a gentle echo, a wave of calm came over her.

    Cy: Dechreuodd gweld golygfeydd yn ei meddwl - roedd yn cynnwys chi ei hun, nid fel mae'n teimlo; yn ddigon, a chyda phoeniad pur.
    En: She began to see visions in her mind - they included herself, not as she felt; complete, and with pure concern.

    Cy: Dechreuodd siarad â hynny gwirionedd, i adael i fynd.
    En: She began speaking to that truth, to let go.

    Cy: Daeth yr amser o fyfyrdod i ben, ond newidodd rhywbeth.
    En: The meditation time ended, but something changed.

    Cy: Roedd ei breichiau fwyaf estynnedig, roedd ei anadl fwyaf hawdd.
    En: Her arms were more extended, her breath more effortless.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn gwenu arni gyda'r dealltwriaeth o ddiamser.
    En: Emrys smiled at her with timeless understanding.

    Cy: "Diolch, Emrys," meddai, ei llifyn mewn llais dawel ond bendant.
    En: "Thank you, Emrys," she said, her voice soft yet firm.

    Cy: Ar y funud honno, roedd Aeron, gwylio'r newid yn ei ffrind, yn dechrau gweld ystyr newydd yn y profiad.
    En: At that moment, Aeron, watching the change in his friend, began to see a new meaning in the experience.

    Cy: Roedd ei amheuaeth yn troi'n chwilfrydedd.
    En: His doubt turned into curiosity.

    Cy: Ac felly, roedd y cynnydd yr haul yn mwy na symudiad y dydd - roedd yn adlais o lawenydd newydd ac ymdeimlad o obaith.
    En: And so, the sun's ascent was more than just the passage of the day - it was an echo of newfound joy and a sense of hope.

    Cy: Ar ddiwedd yr wyl, cerddodd Rhiannon, Aeron ac Emrys i lawr llethrau'r mynyddoedd.
    En: At the end of the retreat, Rhiannon, Aeron, and Emrys walked down the slopes of the mountains.

    Cy: Roedd y byd wedi troi'n gynnes ac mewn golau'r haul.
    En: The world had turned warm and bright in the sunlight.

    Cy: Wrth symud ymlaen, teimlai Rhiannon ryddid nad oedd erioed wedi teimlo o'r blaen, a roddodd ddewrder iddi.
    En: As they moved forward, Rhiannon felt a freedom she had never felt before, which gave her courage.

    Cy: Roedd Aeron wedi newid, hefyd, gollwng ei farniau ac yn agored i'r dawelwch yr oedd y lle hwn wedi dod â'i ffordd.
    En: Aeron had changed too, letting go of his judgments and opening up to the tranquility this place had brought his way.

    Cy: Roeddynt i gyd wedi dod â rhywbeth gwerthfawr i lawr o'r encil.
    En: They all brought something valuable down from the retreat.

    Cy: Roedd siwrnai personol Rhiannon a chydraddoldeb eu cysylltiadau yn dangos ethriad newydd ar ei dyfodol.
    En: Rhiannon's personal journey and the equality in their connections heralded a new perspective on her future.

    Cy: Ymwthio i'r daith, roeddent yn weld nad ar yr ymarferion oedd yn bwysig, ond yr hyn oeddent yn ei ddarganfod yn eu calonnau.
    En: As they embraced the path, they realized it wasn't the exercises that mattered, but what they discovered in their hearts.

    Cy: Roedd y gorwel yn glir, a gobaith yn gryf.
    En: The horizon was clear, and hope was strong.

    Cy: "Mae’n rhaid i ni weithredu nawr," meddai Carys yn gryf ond tawel, ei llygaid yn canolbwyntio.
    En: "We must act now," Carys said firmly yet quietly, her eyes focused.

    Cy: "Mae'r storm yn rhy agos," meddai Dylan, yn edrych i'r gorwel.
    En: "The storm is too close," Dylan said, looking to the horizon.

    Cy: "Does gennym ni ddim digon o amser."

    En: The eyes of the three were heavy with fatigue, but they held the poetic medium—thanks to the actions of Carys, most of the project had survived.

    Cy: Roedd gweld cwreliaid yn dal i flaguro yn danfon gwên o lawenydd ar eu hwynebau.
    En: Seeing the coral still thriving brought a joyful smile to their faces.

    Cy: "Dyweda' i byth eto bod y gweithredoedd bach yn ddi-bwys," chwerthinodd Eira, gan deimlo'r hydref o falchder yn cael arafu yn ei chalon.
    En: "Never again will I say that small actions are unimportant," laughed Eira, feeling the autumn of pride slowly settle in her heart.

    Cy: Yn awr, roedd Carys, yn teimlo'n gryfach a'n hawsder i hyder, yn cael ei pharchu gan ei chyfoedion.
    En: Now, Carys, feeling stronger and more at ease with confidence, was respected by her peers.

    En: She knew now the essential need to trust in the mysteries of the sea and her own hand.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Arosodd Gareth o dan gysgod coeden, yn dal i feddwl am y daith fawr o’i flaen.
    En: Gareth waited under the shade of a tree, still thinking about the great journey ahead of him.

    Cy: Roedd yr haul haf yn tywynnu'n boeth ar ei wyneb, ond roedd cwmwl o amheuaeth dros ei feddwl.
    En: The summer sun shone hot on his face, but a cloud of doubt lingered over his mind.

    Cy: "Beth os nad yw'n werth?" meddyliodd dro ar ôl tro, ei wyneb yn llawn pryder.
    En: "What if it's not worth it?" he thought repeatedly, his face full of worry.

    Cy: Wrth ei ymyl, eisteddodd Alis, yn gwylio’r tonnau o laswellt yn symud yn y gwynt.
    En: Next to him, Alis sat watching the waves of grass move in the wind.

    Cy: "Gareth, mae’n sŵn mor hardd.
    En: "Gareth, it’s such a beautiful sound.

    Cy: Ond, ydy'n werth ni wneud hyn?" Holodd hi, ei llais yn bryderus ond annwyl.
    En: But, is it worth us doing this?" she asked, her voice anxious yet tender.

    Cy: Roedd Gareth yn ymateb yn ansicr, "Rydw i eisiau credu bod gan Glastonbury Tor rhywbeth i ddangos i mi.
    En: Gareth responded uncertainly, "I want to believe that Glastonbury Tor has something to show me.

    Cy: Eto... dydw i ddim wir yn gwybod."
    En: Yet... I don't really know."

    Cy: Ar y gwrthwyneb, oedd Rhys, yn llawn egni a barymau cyffro.
    En: Opposite them was Rhys, full of energy and excitement.

    Cy: "Mae'r daith hon bwysig!
    En: "This journey is important!

    Cy: Byddwch yn gweld!
    En: You will see!

    Cy: Mae’r goleuni yno, rwy’n siŵr o hynny," meddai'n gyffrous, fel pe bai eisoes yn gweld y porthladdau goleuni.
    En: The light is there, I'm sure of it," he said excitedly, as if he could already see the ports of light.

    Cy: Roedd y tri ar fin deithio i ben Glasbury Tor, hill gysegredig yn Sir Gaerloyw, lle roedd y Lughnasadh yn rhoi awel o eglurhad i rwydi'r byd.
    En: The three were about to travel to the top of Glastonbury Tor, a sacred hill in Sir Gaerloyw, where the Lughnasadh brought a breeze of clarity to the world's webs.

    Cy: Roedd y gwyrddni o amgylch, a'r cerrig hynafol hefo'u storis gudd, yn sefyll yn waith bonsai dan doring y caeau.
    En: The greenery around, and the ancient stones with their hidden stories, stood like bonsai work under the dissecting fields.
