Rewilding. Wildswimming

Rain at last!

In the last couple of days we've had some showers at least! I'm so glad, the land really needs it. I love to see the droplets on the leaves... little pearls of beauty!, and walking on wet soil! 2023-08-06 08:56:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Sea storm arriving

A few days ago we visited a new beautiful beach. Even more beautiful because it was empty. Firstly because it was very early in the morning, and then because the weather was not beach-weather for m...

Restful weekend

May you have a restful, nourishing weekend ✨

Friday feeling

of exhaustion.
River bed holding my weight,
my toes.
Water waking up my senses,
making my inner eyelids wetter
when I look underwater.
Surrendering into this space,
giving myse...

Delightful

Yesterday's weather in the afternoon was simply the best day of the summer. Very warm (not boiling hot), with warm breeze all around. Just swimming in that air was incredibly pleasurable. The whol...

Blessed Lughnasadh/Lammas!

For those in the northern hemisphere, Lughnasadh blessings and for those in the southern hemisphere, blessed Imbolc! The Celtic wheel of the year keeps turning...

(self) body image with pictures

My previous post was not meant to be picture-less. The opposite! My internet connection is not great sometimes!

So the text applies to these pictures!

(self) body image

Posting these pictures is a big thing for me...

The self-voices that accompanied pretty all my life judging my body (you're too fat/broad/chubby..., your legs are too big blablabla) are sti...

Home II

Home

This river is home. I spend quite of lot of time here, daily. Not just swimming but also rewilding myself and rewilding the area. The bottom of the garden connects with the public land of the river...

Bearded lady

I like the effect of the still dry hair before immersing myself in the river. Moments of exchange between different viscosities and densities, matter... Playful selfies that remind me of beards, th...

Damselfly connection II

And she's gone!

Damselfly connection

Today is one of those days that I could stay in the water the whole time. Really hot and humid. Gladly I can take dips in-between tasks.
In one of the dips I was in the womb pool admiring the l...

Morning lovely earthlings! II

Same message, slight different angles!

Morning lovely earthlings!

As soon as I opened the window this morning I sensed deep gratitude and love, for this life in this incredibly beautiful world, sharing it with humans (you're part of it if course!) and other-than-...

White clay bath

A few days ago we took white clay to the beach and this happened! Fun times (The look of my face in the third picture looks quite macabre tough!). I bet it's a great natural sun protection! It was ...

Morning waterfalling

Van sleepover at the new found river... Morning dip feeling like a proper Xana (Asturian mythological entity who inhabits streams, lakes, rivers...). Paradise

Faery tale trail II

Faery tale trail

A real gem after gardening work in a new area. Blessed and enchanted

Night sea swim with moon II

Night sea swim with moon

No many words for this special swim in a sensuous sea...

Waking up II

Waking up

Walking up in the water as sun wakes up too, behind clouds that might not vanish today. Admiring the bottom of the river, now without tadpoles. The soil is covered by tiny jumping frogs, so much th...

First thing II

First thing

For me the first thing in the morning is a dip. When I wasn't living by the river it used to be a cold shower or yoga. Practices to start the day energised (or awake at least!)

Have you got ...

Upstream II

Upstream

I love this place so much... Just a few km upstream from my daily wildswimming place. Mmmmmm joy

Paradise beach II (with pictures)

Not enough signal earlier today to attach pictures. Wilderness test!

Paradise beach II

This place has captivated me... I stayed in my van so I could come here first thing in the morning, sleeping amongst pine trees, not a sound. Hours of sun and sea, in and out of water, with big pla...

Paradise beach

See called me and I listened. Glad that I did. Yesterday in a shop someone mentioned this place, a sign. Today I could not resist to visit. Quite quiet because of the descent. Well worth it. Seawee...
