Our Mission

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 nutrients.

Women need this type of nourishment network too.

Roots Collective seeks to create a network of safety and sisterhood support for women to embody their innate, wild, unapologetic, fully expressed Self.

We’re here to liberate the feminine expression and in doing so, reclaim our embodied intuition and innate connection to Mother Nature.

Roots is a space where competition is replaced by inspiration and the cycle of sisterhood is one of reciprocity and nurturance.

Our Motivations

We are driven by the magic that ignites when women gather—an innate, primal and sacred force that calls us back to the earth. To be held by nature in spaces of our own.

We exist to reclaim the ancient ritual of women gathering in nature, woven into the very fabric of our biological, emotional, and ancestral DNA. This is more than a return to ritual; it’s a deep healing of the sisterhood wound, a mending of the witch wound and a reclamation of our femininity in safety.

We exist because our journeys have led us individually to find freedom, empowerment and strength through embodiment practices and womens spaces.

We are here to awaken a new way of gathering—one that honors festival culture through a conscious, holistic lens, infused with the raw power and magic of women-only spaces.

Katy and Eva met in South East Asia on their individual voyages of freedom and adventure back in 2012. Since returning to Australian land, their friendship journeyed from dusty psytrance dance floors to the embodied magic of 5Rhythms Ecstatic Dance. It was clear they had a love for music, nature and embodiment and over 12 years their friendship grew deeper as they journeyed the realms of growth, adulthood and sisterhood together.

Roots was birthed in 2021 as an idea to bring sisters together in a time of global unease. The vision came as a flash from source in a moment of desperation and despair. The call was to coil into the safety of sisterhood and be held by Mother Nature. There was a clear and deep knowing that this would give us the answers, clarity and hope that we needed.

Our first event was born by accident, starting with 80 women, a few workshops and DJ decks. Today, we are proud to be a growing community of over 1000+ women, with 3 annual events, coming together in the name of growth, connection and healing.

Together, we are following the whispers of intuition to bring together the alchemy of women, embodiment and nature whilst holding hands and growing into the fullest expression of ourselves. 

Our hope is remain in service to the feminine and for our non-profit, Roots Collective to represent the mandala way of business... a model that operates as a circle feeding into its centre, for all of its parts to feel nourished, supported and held.
