ReachingRoots
Rooted in something deeper
The wisdom of gathering
For generations, women have gathered to share stories, care for one another, mark life’s transitions and pass wisdom from one woman to the next.
Many of us now live at a distance from these ways of gathering. We may be surrounded by people and still feel alone. We may have access to endless information while feeling disconnected from our own inner knowing.
Reaching Roots was created from a desire to restore some of what has been lost: spaces where women can gather without pretence, reconnect with themselves and experience the quiet strength of being held within community.
This is not about romanticising the past. It is about remembering that rest, connection and belonging are not indulgences. They are part of what helps us remain well.
The woman behind Reaching Roots
Meet Monique
Reaching Roots was founded by Monique Dunk from a deeply held belief that women deserve spaces where they can put down their responsibilities, receive care and feel genuinely connected.
[Insert two or three sentences here about Monique’s personal journey, what led her to create Reaching Roots, and the change she hopes women experience through the retreats.]
Monique brings together skilled facilitators and carefully considered experiences to create retreats that feel warm, authentic and grounded. Her intention is not to tell women who they should become, but to create the conditions in which they can hear themselves more clearly.

A community of women sharing their gifts
Reaching Roots is also a growing community of practitioners, teachers and facilitators who bring depth, care and experience to our retreats.
By collaborating with women working across different areas of wellbeing, we are able to offer rich and varied experiences while also supporting facilitators to share their work, reach new people and grow their own communities.
Every facilitator is chosen with care, helping us create experiences that feel safe, professional, meaningful and aligned with the values of Reaching Roots.
You don’t have to wait until you are completely depleted to make space for yourself.
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause while you can still hear the quiet voice within you asking for something more, more rest, more connection, more meaning or simply more room to breathe.
Let this be your invitation.
Come as you are. Rest among women. Reconnect with what is already within you.
