🌕 Pink Full Moon — Somatic Movement & Meditation
April 1st | Live on Zoom

We’re now a couple of weeks beyond the Spring Equinox…
the shift into more light has already begun.

But this phase we’re in now isn’t always clear.
It can feel like something is changing…
without fully knowing what it is yet.

⸻

The Pink Full Moon is linked to the first blooms of spring —
a time where what has been forming begins to become visible.

Not fully expressed…
but no longer hidden.

⸻

This session is a space to:
• gently unwind the body
• move through slow somatic flow
• soften any heaviness
• and create space to feel what’s emerging

No pressure to figure anything out.
Just a chance to slow down and listen.

⸻

This was a couple of weeks ago at my new retreat venue. I was fully re-wilded 😂

Not polished at all - fresh out of the sea with wild hair, salty skin and not one drop of make up 😂

And I didn’t care. I felt so free

That’s the point.

Come Rewild with me , we’ll have fun I promise 😂🏝️☀️

**Escape The Noise on Hvar island 🏝️🏝️🏝️**

In need of some deep rest and relaxation, a chance to reset your nervous system, get some good nights’ sleep, and just experience life simplified and slowed down for a week? 😴😴😴

Then maybe you’d benefit from less not more. Really stripping everything back and stepping away from the noise and the news, and just packing your swimsuits and flip flops and escaping to a little piece of paradise on the south west coast of Hvar in Croatia. ☀️🌊🏝️

Hvar, as the sunniest island on the Croatia, can be very popular in the height of summer, and for good reason, but the beginning of a June is perfect , I found a place really away from any “busy-ness”, a place where you wake up to the sound of the sea and the birds.

I wanted to make taking a retreat as affordable as possible and these beach huts are just perfect.

They may be basic, but they have very good memory foam mattresses, and everything else you need is just outside your hut - showers, kitchen, a beach bar, lovely staff - and of course, it’s just two mins to be on the beach 🏝️

I don’t know about you but to me, that is true luxury.

I’ve got 4 huts left to anyone feeling the call to come here. I can help you with logistics getting here and connect you with others on the same flight.

Your holiday includes:
🛌 6 night’s accommodation
🥘 Two meals a day
🧘‍♂️ All classes, guided walks
🏊‍♀️ Snorkelling equipment
🚲 Sup and bike hire is extra as is an additional trips or meals out.

The cost is :

🛖Beach Hut with Garden View 🌸

- One person: 870€ (£756)
- Two people sharing: 690€ (£599) per person

✈️ Fly to Split or Zadar for around £200 return from Bristol, Manchester, Gatwick, Stanstead and other airports.

Can you see yourself here? 🏝️
Get in touch and I’ll help with flights and logistics 🏝️❤️🙏

If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing on Hvar this week, I’ve been getting organised for this! 👇

The retreat is running 2-8th June 2026, and I’m recommending flights to Split from Manchester, Bristol, Gatwick, Birmingham and Stanstead dep 2nd and returning 9th so you have the last night in Split before returning home.

There are some great flight deals at the moment, and I can help you with all the logistics from your flight arrival to the retreat. Chances are we may all be together on the ferry .

Once you’re here I will be making sure you get settled in with everything you need, and that it’s a safe and supportive space.

After a week here I know many lovely places to show you but there will also be lots of time to chill and just be. The beach at the retreat is just gorgeous so you may just want to hang out there and that’s fine - all your choice!

Of course I’ll be guiding movement and meditation sessions, and some coastal walks to local villages and swim spots.

Days will be shaped by the sun and the sea! Catching sunrises and sunsets and aligning your circadian rhythm to ensure a great nights sleep and a more regulated nervous system.

In the evenings we will eat outside and the food will be based on ancestral nutrition and the Mediterranean diet. I met the local fisherman so he’ll be letting us know when he has a good catch.

Most of all I know you will benefit from the peace and the tranquility at this place. This week did me wonders and I was working. Just being there is a reset.

If you’re thinking of coming I have a few spaces left and I’d be happy to chat through how you get here and what to expect.

Cast Away, Eco Beach Resort - Hvar, Croatia

24/02/2026

Sometimes life reflects back what you’ve already felt in your bones.

This week, it did just that.

Our June retreat venue on Hvar was featured in National Geographic Traveller.

The article was titled Wild Wellness — and it described Hvar, and Castaway, as a place for wellness purists. A place for nervous system reset.

I felt this land deeply.

Not just because this is the name of my business, but because this year I’d made a quiet but radical risk in the direction I was going with it next. Because it felt right…

My instinct was this:

To stop adding.
And start subtracting.

I removed the word yoga. I teach flow now — intuitive, embodied, responsive to the body rather than performing shapes.

I stepped away from rigid retreat expectations. My approach to nourishment is closer to how life is lived here. Seasonal. Local. Mediterranean. Traditional. Food prepared slowly and shared with time.

No potions.
No miracle fixes.
No outsourcing our wellbeing.

Just nature.
The elements.
And a nervous system remembering how to soften when it feels safe.

There were moments I wondered if it would be “enough.”

But when I first spoke with the owner of this place, I felt a clear yes in my body. This was the place.

And I chose to trust it.

Seeing those same words reflected in this feature back felt like true alignment.

Not validation. Alignment.

A reminder that when we trust our instincts — even when they take us slightly off the expected path — they bring us closer to what is true.

This retreat is about less.

Less noise.
Less stimulation.
Less doing.

More sea.
More sun.
More honest movement.
More time.

Polako.

We don’t need another product.

We need space to come home to ourselves.

If you’re feeling your own quiet yes reading this — trust it.

I’ve still a few places left and I’d be happy to chat with you about the finer details.

✨ That in-between bit ✨

These days after Christmas when you don’t know what day it is,

your body feels fuller,

your pace slower,

and time stretches a little.

This isn’t laziness.

It’s integration.

January is coming, gently.

A six-week journey begins 4th January 2026 — created for lightness, warmth, and finding your way back to yourself.

Full details at the link below, sign up today and it’s all done…

https://gilliesutherland.co/2025/12/24/lighten-up-in-january/

But for now… rest. Breathe. Be kind.

This space matters 🤍

Dear beautiful souls,

As Christmas arrives, I just want to pause and say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year — by showing up, sharing space, offering encouragement, or simply being part of this community.

It’s meant more to me than I can properly put into words.

A few days ago, I marked the Winter Solstice with a sauna and a cold lake dip — a moment of stillness, courage, laughter, and that unmistakable feeling of lightness that comes when we let something old wash away and make space for what’s next. It felt like the perfect way to close the year.

As I look ahead to January, I’m feeling genuinely excited. There’s something quietly powerful about this in-between time — resting, reflecting, and sensing what wants to emerge.

In this time, I’ve been creating “Lighten Up” a new six-week journey begins in early January, inspired by this same feeling of lightness, warmth, and renewal.

You can read more about it at the link below, and have something to look forward to in January.

https://gilliesutherland.co/2025/12/24/lighten-up-in-january/

For now, I hope you’re able to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the season in whatever way feels right for you.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a soft, nourishing end to the year.

With warmth,

Gillie ✨
