Roots ~ Women's Embodiment Festival 2025

Before growing tall, tree roots take time to grow deep - up to 200 feet deep - into the earth. There they receive nourishment and stability from the depths, from deep dark sources of water, minerals and stone.

Women need this type of nourishment network too.

When safe in the cave of our underworld: we have space to feel, to be. 

We are able to trust in the rooted support of sacred sisterhood. We know ourselves, we feel ourselves... 

We become embodied, empowered and alive.

Set in a spacious clearing on Dharug Country, NSW for 3 nights of: 

🌱 Over 60+ Embodied Retreat Style Workshops 

🌱 7 activated workshop spaces for growth and empowerment: Yin Space, Yang Space, Womb Temple, Coven Corner, Mama's Nook, Siren Space + Wellness Tree

What is Roots?

Roots holds you safely in the exploration of the feminine underworld, through embodiment, connection, expansion and surrender. 

Supported in sisterhood and remembering our bodies as home - we move through expression, Eros, emotion and empowerment. Our 3 day retreat style, festival experience offers a journey through a variety of embodiment modalities - giving you space to interpret the language of your feminine spirit through shapes, rhythms, sounds and cycles.

Roots is a place of uninhibited, unfiltered, raw expression. We believe that as we gather in safety and sisterhood, we create a new paths forward for the times we have been shamed - even burned at the stake - for expressing ourselves and listening to our intuition. 

We gather to play, to feel, to express, to grow, to heal, to see, to be seen and to be heard.

Roots Collective runs events that focus on the experience of being a woman and much of this focus sits around people born with wombs and/or people who have the experience of female biology. While we respect that gender identity is not always aligned with the body you were born with or the gender you were assigned at birth, our spaces are focused on the cisgender female experience. If you are a non binary, assigned female at birth person you are welcome but must understand the focus of our events. The reason we outline this is because we want everyone to feel safe and held in our space. We don’t want people to have different expectations and are seeking to remain clear about what we’re offering from a place of deep reflection, consideration and care.

Our friends at @collective_kaleidoscope and @ember.collaborative run events for the gender queer community and welcome anyone who identifies as being a woman.
