A Wild Wellness Gathering with Gillie

17th – 21st August 2026

Blackdown Yurts & Halsbeer Farm, Devon

Join us for a few grounded days at Halsbeer Farm in Devon—surrounded by rolling countryside, fresh air, and space to properly unwind. 

This is a chance to reconnect with your body, spend time outdoors, and enjoy simple living in good company.

Mornings begin gently with natural light and movement. Days unfold with barefoot walks, time on the land, shared meals, and space to rest, stretch out, and just be.

Everything is thoughtfully guided, with a natural flow to the days—offering both structure and plenty of room to relax and follow your own pace.

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter.

I’ve been working in mind and body wellness for over 35 years, with a grounded, supportive approach to movement and retreat spaces.

Sessions are gentle, embodied, and accessible—designed to help you reset your nervous system and reconnect with your body.

This is a relaxed, non-judgemental space where everyone is welcome.

Having lived in Devon before moving to Croatia, this feels like a special return—and I’d love to share it with you. 

I’ll also be around throughout if you’d like any one-to-one support or guidance.
