rooted retreat
a slow & soft ceremonial space for women
2 - 7 June 2026
Rooted is more than a retreat. It is six days of ceremony, grounding you in the wisdom of your heart, womb, and the earth. Women choose this “retreat” because they deeply desire slow medicine. To be held in a space that nourishes them to fully embody all that they are: the light and the dark, the wild and the wise, the embodied and the ascending.
This journey has been intentionally created to invite a space beyond the internalised rulebook, roles, and identities, so that every woman touches the truth of where she comes from and who she is. Rooted is not about learning how to do something new; it is about gently de-armouring and remembering who you are - rediscovering your soft, primal, and essential self.
Sacred simplicity, playful self-exploration, and ancient practice are woven into the tapestry of Rooted life - allowing you to leave the mountains deeply regulated, beautifully softened, and wildly liberated. Rooted isn’t just a healing space; it is a movement, a reclamation, a homecoming.
Our rooted foundation
Ritual
Nature
Woman
Pleasure
Softness
rooted in nature
Within Rooted, you will wake up with the golden sunlight kissing your skin through the linen-draped windows as the warm and sweet mountain air fills your lungs and softens your body. You will gently start your mornings sipping fresh citrus tea with oranges and lemons gifted from the land here before unravelling through gentle movement and authentic connection.
You will spend your days recharging while enjoying all of the earthly pleasures; indulging in beautiful organic local food, reading the book you never get a chance to read as you lie under the olive trees, and soaking up the Monchique sunshine as you bask in the healing mountain water.
Your evenings will be spent sitting in ceremony, exploring sacred feminine embodiment rituals, and sharing laughter and stories around the fire with new friends that feel like family - all before sleeping peacefully cocooned deep within the valley under the visible Milky Way.
This isn't a regimented wellness retreat. This is a gentle healing experience, infused with daily devotion, spacious practice, and playful self-exploration, rooting you deeply in your heart, womb, and authentic feminine nature.

The energy is slow, soft, sacred, earhty & honest.
our FACILITATOR
Katie is devoted to guiding women back to their soft and primal selves. Over the years, she has walked with thousands of women from across the world, holding the space for them to reconnect with their bodies, the earth, and one another through ritual and rites of passage. Katie’s background is a rich blend of womb healing, medicine of the mature feminine, slow living and re-naturing, authentic female sexuality, intentional movement (from yin to embodied), and Rebirthing Breathwork.
As a teacher, she deeply believes in restoring the ceremonial relationship with the elements, earth, and essential self. The spaces she holds are anchored in sacred simplicity and integrity, offering a sanctuary of intentional softness, messy humanness, and grounded wisdom. It is here that she will invite you to remember and return to the medicine of your heart, womb, and the earth.
testimonials
“Katie is a phenomenal leader. Having her hold space, be a mirror, and radiate her acceptance and love for ALL the things that show up (even the things I might shy away from, or feel shame about) was so incredibly freeing and healing. Katie's medicine goes so deep, and I feel so blessed to have moved through this experience and so proud of myself for having said YES to it! In a way, Katie held open the door for me as I saw, stepped through, and birthed a new timeline - a new cycle, a new way of Life. I would highly recommend to anyone who is feeling the call - just say YES!” -
~ Serwaah, Canada
“I cannot begin to express in words how potent Katie’s magic is and the space that she holds you in. Katie truly is a true alchemist - her intuition is unprecedented. She fully embodies presence, attunement, and love - weaving strength and gentleness effortlessly. She has seen me through the deepest layers of my healing and working with her has been instrumental on my path. I could not imagine the continuation of my healing journey without the magic that happens in the space that we co-create together.”
~ Aleks, UK
“Katie is real, humble, kind, and so loving with her approach to healing. Her intuition is so grounded (she just knows), she feels the energy within you and can really get into the sticky, icky - showing you that it is safe (and not scary) while also giving you the practical and tangible tools to bring awareness, love, and surrender to these parts of yourself. We laughed, we cried, and we all grew together in such a gorgeous way - it was a beautiful and deeply nourishing experience on all levels. I am so grateful.”
~ Emily, Australia
