If you know us, you know Rooted is never too serious (how could it be 🤣).

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when women gather - when we slow down, spend time outside, share stories, move, make things with our hands, forage, eat beautifully and sit around a table together.

That’s Rooted.

In summer 2027, we’re heading to Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire for three nights surrounded by woods and countryside, from 30 July to 2 August.

Expect foraging and plant medicine, restorative yoga and movement, lots of crafting, really chilled-out women’s circles, beautiful seasonal food, plenty of time to rest - and, if our last retreats are anything to go by, a lot of delicious silliness and proper belly laughs too.

The kind that make your cheeks hurt and somehow become part of the memories you keep.

Our Early Bird ends on 31 October 🎃

And no spooky surprises here: if you’d love to join us but would prefer to spread the cost, just message me. We can arrange a personalised payment plan that works just for you.

Reach out anytime xx

I am yet to meet a woman who regrets giving themselves permission to rest. What I've witnessed through the women who attend the women's circles, retreats or workshops is that they are always happy that they gave themselves the time away from the noise and busyness. Time to reconnect with themselves and to remember who they are away from the demands of life.

Next year our Rooted retreat will be back for its third year. It's a gorgeous invitation to reconnect with yourself, to make new friends and to try new things. Each year we share foraging walks, wild medicine and beauty, delicious food with an emphasis on natural, wild ingredients, shamanic circles and crafting activities. If this sounds like your thing, maybe you'd like to take time for yourself by joining us.

📍Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire
🗓️ 30th Jul- 2nd Aug 2027

Emaline Delapaix will begin the event with a short sound meditation and play some healing songs about nature, wellness, reconnecting with our ancestors and seasons to help calm the nervous system.

It’s with great sadness I am sharing the passing of my precious dad 💙

Loved by so many people and known for his kindness and cheerful personality. He always had the time for everyone - the best listener and my biggest supporter.

He tried so hard to hang on but we wouldn’t have wanted him to be in pain.

Feel like a part of me is missing now but he told me to be brave so that’s what I’m trying to do.

With love 🧡

Did you manage to pick up one of our recipe cards at the last GOOD GRUB CLUB?!

We were pretty pleased with how they turned out, the colours and designs are spot on. Big thanks as always to @teal_ctd 👏🏻

At the last market, we gave out free recipe cards with purchases, celebrating seasonal, quality, locally made produce from all of our producers. We made them as part of the Calderdale Festival of Food ( @calderdalefoodfest ) but we’re thinking we might actually keep them as a regular market feature and update them with the seasons. What do you think?

Has anyone made any of the recipes yet? We’d love to see what you’ve been cooking, send us a snap!

Our producers may still have a few cards left to share, so keep an eye out for those at the next GGC, which is happening on Sunday 18th October. Save the date.

We might also have one or two new producers joining us, so keep an eye out for the line-up, i’ll share more in the run up.

For all the other GGC updates, you can sign up to the newsletter via the link in bio.

We are so happy to share that Rooted Retreat returns in August ‘27 after two previous sellout success!
Here’s just a fragment of the feedback, from the amazing women who arrive as strangers and leave as friends!
We are so proud of the magic we have created between us and we would love you to experience it…. to that end we make it as accessible as possible with various room options, as well as payment plans tailored to your needs. All dietary needs are also catered for!
We pride ourselves on being a little different from the average retreat… no punishing regimes, just soul-satisfying gentle movement, deep relaxation, an introduction to shamanic practice, as well as a fascinating foray into the world of wild foods and healing plant medicine …and plenty of time to gather around a table for creative crafts and conversation..
All this against a backdrop of delicious, nourishing and sumptuous foods, lovingly created to delight the eye and bombard the tastebuds!
If this sounds like your kind of thing, we are waiting to hear from you!

Your Rooted team.. Sasha, Sylvia, Andrea and Tee 😊🌿🍀💚🙏🏼

There are women you meet once and somehow remember forever. 🤎

Perhaps that’s one of the reasons Rooted means so much to us.
It began with four women who barely knew each other, walking and foraging together, and somehow finding the beginnings of a friendship - and of the retreat we’d all been looking for.

Since then, we’ve watched the same little magic happen again and again. Women arriving alone, sitting beside someone they’ve never met, sharing food, stories, walks, laughs, quiet moments - and leaving with something they hadn’t necessarily come looking for.

Because Rooted is about nature, movement, making, slowing down and eating ridiculously well. But somewhere underneath all of that, it has always been about connection.

And we can’t wait to see who finds each other next. 🌿

Rooted Retrear 2027 Charnwood Forest 30 July - 2 August

Rooted retreat is back and this time we will be gathering in the beautiful Charnwood Forest, a place that I am lucky enough to call home.
I can not wait to share the beauty of the area (there's ponies!) and the magic of our retreat with you.
Our vision is to help guide you into remembering your connection with the land and yourself through foraging and feasting, wild medicine, gentle yoga, shamanic circles and bundles of creativity. All of this whilst being a beautiful, welcoming community of women.

The rooms are already filling and last year the spaces sold out quite quickly, so if it's calling to you, make the most of our early bird offer and come and join us!
Visit: www.rootedretreat.co.uk to see what the weekend will hold. 🥰
We would love to have you join us.

With love Sasha and the Rooted team

IT IS LIVE 🌿

We can finally share our new Rooted Retreat, unfolding in the summer of 2027, tucked away in the forest.

Rooted was born from the banter between four women on a foraging walk who somehow became friends and decided to make the retreat we were all searching for ourselves. 🥹

Since then, we’ve held two Rooted retreats. Both completely different, both incredibly special, and both etched somewhere very firmly in my heart.

So here we go again.

Three nights to slow down, spend time outside, forage, make, move, rest, eat ridiculously well and gather with a group of women we hope will leave feeling a little less like strangers.

We cannot wait to welcome some familiar faces back, rekindle old friendships and, of course, make lots of new ones too.

30 July – 2 August 2027 feels quite far away right now, but what a lovely little glimmer to have waiting for us next summer.

Early Bird places are now LIVE.

And if you’d love to join us but paying in one go feels a bit much, please send us an email or private message. We’re very happy to chat about a personalised payment plan and find something that feels a little easier.

We genuinely cannot wait to make new memories with you all. 🌿

Rooted Retreat. Softly held, lovingly shared.

This week we welcomed some of our wonderful facilitators to The Horse Field for our very first get together.

These unique people have so many wonderful talents to offer from sound healing, quigong, yoga, mindfulness meditation, shamanic movement, foraging, mindful poetry, crafting, childrens and family forest school, hypnotherapy, healing & wellness and more…..

It was such a lovely feeling to have everyone together, sharing what they do and exchanging ideas and beginning to see how all of these different people and practices can come together to create workshops and retreat days to offer to our local community.

There are some truly special things taking shape here, and we’re so excited for you to experience them. We really do think you’re going to love what’s coming in the future.

In the meantime we’ll be spending the colder months continuing to meet facilitators, working on the land and building a website so you can find out what events will be take place. 💚
