Rooted: A Women’s Weekend Retreat on The Northern Norfolk Coast w/ Katarina Rayburn & Niaomh Convery


  • ARC Next-the-sea Wells-next-the-Sea, North Norfolk Coast NR23 1 EQ United Kingdom (map)

A weekend retreat exploring women’s wellbeing through yoga, food, rest and connection.

Rooted is a collaborative retreat created by yoga teacher Katarina Rayburn and chef Niaomh Convery from The Shared Plate. Together, they offer a weekend of nourishing practices designed to help women slow down, reconnect with their bodies and feel deeply supported.

With over 20 years of combined experience facilitating and hosting groups, Katarina and Niaomh create warm, welcoming spaces where people can feel at ease.

The Retreat

Throughout the weekend, Katarina and Niaomh will weave together movement, food, rest and conversation to support women’s health in a grounded and accessible way.

There will be a focus on hormonal health, nervous system support and reconnecting with the body’s changing rhythms through different stages of life — from the menstrual cycle to menopause and beyond.

The Venue: ARC Next-the-sea, North Norfolk Coast

Let your days be shaped by the tide and wind. Coastal town Wells-Next-the-Sea
 reveals the beauty in resilience

The beauty of this venue emerges in one of Norfolk’s most characterful and historically rich coastal towns. Framed by vast horizons, tidal creeks, and dynamic salt marshes, the harbour sits in constant conversation with the sea and visitors of this venue’s views subtly shift with each hour.

Famous sandy beaches are just a walk away but - with its pool, sun deck, petanque court, alfresco kitchen with pizza oven and Braai, wood-fired hot tub and firepit - you may never want to leave the garden!

Rest, Nature & Ritual

Step through pinewood forests onto miles of empty beaches, take a boat at high tide to spot seals or venture inland to discover nature reserves, flint villages and country pubs.

Our retreat venue is around a 30 minute walk from  the beach.

The wood fired hot tub and outdoor heated pool will be available to use at your leisure. Bespoke massages can be booked on request.

Yoga With Katarina

Mornings will begin with dynamic yoga led by Katarina, designed to awaken the body, build warmth and reconnect you with your strength, breath and vitality.

Following the elemental Mandala Vinyasa system, these sessions will be uplifting, grounding and adaptable to different energy levels.

In the evenings, the pace will soften into yin and restorative practices to release tension, support deep rest and help you settle into the slower rhythm of retreat life.

We are fully equipt with yoga mats and props.

Food with Niaomh

Food will be central to the retreat experience.

Niaomh will guide guests through a holistic exploration of food and women’s wellbeing, drawing on seasonal ingredients, traditional knowledge and years of experience working with food and community.

Across the weekend, she will create vibrant, nourishing meals designed to support women through different stages of life, with a focus on energy, mood, balance and overall wellbeing.

Guests will share communal meals, herbal teas made from homegrown and dried herbs, and hands-on cooking workshops designed to reconnect us with the simple act of feeding ourselves well.
