Wild Wellness

15/03/2026

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 ✨

**LIONSGATE: FRIDAY 8TH AUGUST 2025**

**Live On Zoom 6-745pm GMT**

**With Gillie Sutherland**

We gather at the hinge of light—where solar fire meets the spine of the Earth, and the 8:8 portal opens not into escape, but into deep embodiment.

This is not a doorway out—it is a spiral in. Into the electric memory of our bodies, the harmonic intelligence of our curves, our cells, our sovereign breath.

Through movement, sound, and stillness, we enter the geometry of remembrance: the circle of the pelvis, the triangular root of breath, the vertical line of intention.

Lionsgate is not a date—it is a harmonic. It is the arc between will and surrender, action and reception. In this session, we do not activate—we align. We soften into the radiant pulse that precedes all form. Through guided somatic journeying, vocal resonance, and collective coherence, we allow the fifth-dimensional mirror—the Codex within—to reflect through the feminine form.

You are not here to awaken. You are here to remember that you already are.

Join us live around the virtual fire from your own personal sanctuary or watch later.

Cost of the session (including the recording) : £10 per person

To join pay by:
1. Card payment at www.revolut.me/gilliewild
2. PayPal at www.PayPal.me/wildwithgillie
3. Bank transfer (by request)

Looking forward to seeing you

❤️🙏

Hello beautiful souls,

Well June is here and with it, the arrival of Summer. 🥳

When the plants, which include us, come into full expansion.

June, marking early summer, ties to the Fire element.

Fire embodies heat, energy, and growth, reflecting long days and of course, we also have the summer solstice on June 21st 2025.

It governs the heart, emotions, and connection, inspiring passion and creativity. From a place of “I am”, we are called to be bold, confident to express ourselves just as we are.

Wild and free.

In our movement practice, this mirrors bold, flowing motions—think dance, martial arts, and big spirals—where passion and joy shine.

Balanced with cooling breaths and mindful somatic yoga, we tame the excess heat.

This month Love Mornings will continue as normal every weekday morning, and on alternate weeks, we will have either Saturday mornings or Tuesday evenings – the balanced yin and yang energy.

Package Options:

Full Monthly Pass: £44 (unlimited classes in a month)
Love Mornings: £30 (weekday mornings only)

Evenings and Weekends:

Saturday Spiral Flow 7th and 21st June 9-10am GMT £9 for one class or £16 for both

Tuesday Somatic Yoga 10th and 24th June 630-730pm GMT £9 for one class or £16 for both

Saturdays and Tuesdays £28

Make payment either:

Revolut: http://www.revolut.me/gilliewild
PayPal: http://www.PayPal.me/wildwithgillie

Looking forward to seeing you in the virtual garden. Let’s bloom together 🌼
