Our Vision
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 embrace embody their innate, wild, unapologetic, fully expressed Self.
We’re here to reclaim the wisdom of womb-centric living and liberate the feminine expression. We believe by doing so, reignite our forgotten 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 Why
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 safe spaces of our own.
We are driven by the challenge of a fast-paced, tech-driven world that often overshadows the natural rhythms of a woman’s life. Motivated by the neglect of menstruation, birth, and menopause, we are committed to honouring the wisdom of intuition over intervention. Our purpose is to create space for these sacred aspects of womanhood to be celebrated and fully embraced, rather than diminished or suppressed.
We exist to reclaim the ancient ritual of women gathering on land, woven into the very fabric of our biological, emotional, and ancestral DNA. This is 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 women’s spaces.
We exist to awaken a new way of gathering, one that honours womb centric living and festival culture through a village based, conscious, holistic lens… infused with the raw power and magic of women-only spaces.
Who we are
-
Katy is has the spirit of a revolutionist and the heart of a wild woman - finding way by listening to Country and journeying with her own ancestral Pagan and Celtic roots. Her life’s work is a reclamation: of earth wisdom, of the sensual, of the sacred feminine that has long been silenced.
Her journey weaves through ritual, yoga, somatics, bodywork, and the remembering of the body as a site of resistance and rebirth.
Founder of Roots and Mycelium, Katy creates spaces - retreats, courses, and festivals - that honour the body as oracle and the Earth as teacher, ancestor, and wise elder. Her work invites women to return to the ground of their being, to the pulse beneath the skin, to the wild intelligence that knows how to heal, connect, and rise.
She believes that when women reclaim the innate wisdom of their bodies - and remember themselves as daughters of this living planet - we awaken a revolution of remembrance.
A lover of community, connection, and dancefloors, Katy lives for the moments when rhythm becomes prayer, when bass becomes heartbeat, and when sisterhood hums beneath the surface of all things.
Her devotion is to feminine reclamation, embodied liberation, and the unseen threads that weave us home to each other and to Earth.

Pauline has spent years gathering wisdom like someone collecting wildflowers, sampling every holistic practice that called to her, learning what heals, what transforms, what brings us back to ourselves. Friends know her as the one who always has a recommendation, a remedy, a gentle nudge toward something that might help. This curiosity led her deeper into certifications in Hygienism and Iridology, into the intricate knowledge systems of holistic medicine.
But it was her time with indigenous communities that cracked everything open. There, she witnessed holistic medicine not as an alternative or a trend, but as breath itself: woven into daily life, inseparable from living well. She saw what we've forgotten in our rush toward modernity: that wellness isn't something we add to our lives, it's the ground we stand on.
She is the founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub, a platform that connects people with trusted holistic practitioners, making these healing modalities accessible to everyone. Too often, holistic care feels exclusive, intimidating, or hard to navigate. Bodhi removes those barriers, creating clear pathways for those who are curious but unsure where to begin, matching seekers with practitioners who truly see them.
At Roots, she is hoping to create a space where wellness feels like coming home rather than climbing a mountain. Where ancient wisdom meets modern life. Where women can explore, question, rest, and remember what their bodies have always known.
Pauline believes in the quiet revolution of self-care as resistance. In a world that wants us depleted and disconnected, choosing to tend to ourselves - to learn what heals us, to honor our bodies as sacred - is radical work.
Her magic is in making the esoteric accessible, the ancient relevant, the healing arts feel like they belong to all of us. It's in creating spaces where scepticism can soften into curiosity, where women can discover practices that light them up from the inside out.
She's lit up by that moment when someone tries something new and feels their body and soul say yes, when they realise healing doesn't have to be complicated, that it can be as simple as returning to practices humans have trusted for thousands of years.

How it all began…
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 16,600+ women, with ongoing annual events, coming together in the name of growth, connection and healing since 2021. As of 2025, they have formed a collective of women that are embodying Open Leadership and co-creating these events, as the entity of Roots expands and calls in other women into their power, skills & gifts.
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.
