Really flowy time in the river this morning, with song and dance in the water. Also since yesterday I'm noticing a change in birdsong, livelier or chattier perhaps... Imbolc is not far.

Total determination to go to the river this morning. Heavy rain in the river felt so good

Today I met a friend and we went to a super cosy and friendly organic market in a little town in the mountains (the only of its kind in my region- it felt like being abroad!). It was so great to so...

Yesterday sun was a treat 🙏🏽 it even felt warm outside for a bit. After 10 minutes in the water, my red legs didn't lie!

Yesterday I didn't have time for a dip until the afternoon. When I was driving back home it started hailing strongly, and to imagine swimming while hailing got me excited (not so much the logistics...

I never tried one of those incredible pieces of gear to stay dry and warm after s swim, that I used to see in the UK (with incredible prices too)... I guess the feeling must be very cosy... The clo...

Very great time in the river. Air temp below 5. Fresh for sure. I did some gardening before so I was feeling nice and warm beforehand.
I stayed 7 minutes in the water, immersing, walking, doing ...
Today I went to the woods to gather natural materials for the bug hotel we made yesterday. Depite the low temperatures, sun was out and wow, really made me sweat on the way back. First thing was to...

Trusting these waters to heal. It might sound counterintuitive but I'm still bathing despite being a bit under the weather. My body is still asking for this winter immersions. Hoping to be giving m...

What part of you body do you dry first, when you have a towel? Does it change depending on the weather, temperature...?

It took me a while to get down to the river today; grey, wet and chilly day. When I got there the rain pretty much stopped and my anticipations of uncomfortability where vanished. Our minds love cr...

An unexpected strong warm Southern wind arrived yesterday so it was easy to get distracted in the water. Allured by it I stayed there very happily, immersed in the river in the sound of the moving ...

Sending love on this last day of 2023. I hope you have a nourishing day and night, maybe remembering and reflecting about the year, in community or in solitude.
I'm particularly not going t...
Droplet of water on the nose, resilient, until it merged with river again.
I might have even swallowed it...
Some more pictures of yesterday... Of my second swim after having been on a coastal walk. It was pure bliss, to arrive at the beach all heated up and go to the sea. Playful, invigorating and relax...

This is what we're up these days... peace, rest and sea, with the van 💙
We finally found the dinosaur footprints, amazing. So incredible to imagine the size of this one given the shape of...
Merry Yule everyone! This time for me this year is for reconnecting with the sea, to slow down, rest, go with the flow, and find nourishment. Such peaceful places 🙏🏽💙

A very symbolic swim this morning, in this turning point of moving to lighter days in the northern hemisphere... A swim nearly blinded by the light!
Sending love
Water is clearing up again, and kiwi leaves finally crumbling and getting ready to fall. Everything in it's flow.
Winter solstice blessings! Do you celebrate the solstice? ❤️
I was not expecting this currents today! Massive change in the flow, muddiness, force... Today my dip was very close to the shore, admiring the strength of the river, watching logs rapidly flow by....

It was just easy to get in, as if I normally would feel most of the cold through the lense of my feet and hands... The...
This morning we had a lovely frost in the fields (nasturtiums do look a bit flap... ). I waited for the sun for my dip and some tasty Qigong in my beloved spot. I really noticed many more birds tha...

A very wintery Asturian day yesterday, of thick mist, humid air... Great to wake up and feel energised for some time during the day. Ended up being a lovely day ☺️

Cold and joy. So glad to feel some sun on the skin while immersing on very chilly water. These days I'm in the water aprox 5 minutes, sometimes a bit more, depending. Some days I go in 2-3 times in...

I feel so grateful for living in a place where I can grow veggies and go for a dip straight away. We are not growing many veggies right now (and pretty much all our cabbages and Brussels sprouts we...

The atmosphere this morning was particularly mystical; dim light, mist, grey sky, drizzle, and trees who become barer. Lovely swim with robin song in the background.
