What do you enjoy the most: being in cold water or the sensations after the cold water dip?
Downpour at night...
I believe this the highest I've seen the river in my swim spot. Obviously today I just dipped by the shore, in my safe place. The speed of the current was incredible, and the force. Totally in sync...

Fear has been moving through me recently. I let her in, I let her out, I let her flow down the river, I let her express through song... Whatever she needs so she doesn't get stuck.

Oh the skies today
A day of constant changes between sun spells, dark clouds and rain. A lot of wind of course. Great background to shift stagnant energy through Qigong outdoors and playfulness in the river. It seems...

The power of dipping in the river keeps amazing me after years of doing it. It's capacity to move energy in me even when I feel I don't have anything left 💙

Glad that I went to the river and for a walk when I did as I managed to get some sun. Now it's absolutely tipping down! Quick and unexpected change. Cosy indoors time now 🙏🏾

My body is still landing from last week's training in the city.
I'm prioritising sleep/rest and somehow I've been sleeping 9-10 hours the last few nights (with a few cat interruptions of cou...
A little reset pause
A little reset pause in the river. For me doing this (dipping all year around in cold water) is so normal that I still find it strange when people are shocked when they discover that I do it. Then ...
2025-01-22 13:51:44 +0000 UTC View PostFinally!
I was away on my training for a few days, so no wildswimming then! After 5 days, I felt it was much more difficult to get in the water; it took me a couple of minutes to acclimatise and fully immer...

Today's been the coldest day of winter so far. I woke up and there was a lovely view of frosty fields. Sun came up later and blue skies. However max temp below 10 degrees.
I went for my dip ...
One step at a time
How was this full moon for you? Any dreams? How are you feeling?
Right now I'm feeling really present, taking one step at a time. Of course some parts of my psyche want to race sometimes and...
Post gardening
Today I did quite a lot of heavy work in the garden. A few hours really immersed in the soil, expanding the area where I grow veggies. I felt really good, really satisfying job as the soil wasn't t...

Dipping at dusk or at night is magical. Today after my walk I went in and it was one of the most enjoyable dips in a long time. Simply exquisite.

Inspired by recent dreams. And by the joy of getting into the river after working.
So peaceful and (now) plastic free
A big plastic bag has been hanging around on the other shore for quite a bit, after the latest strong currents.
Today it was safe to cross and pick it up. It was quite annoying! I was quite...
Sleepy
Feeling cosy sleepy even after the energising dip this morning. It's possible to feel it all at the same time!
Miniature by the sea
Sunset dip being watched by my brother's dog. Two souls facing immensity and the ferocity of winter's sea. Respect from our chosen shores. Boundaries and safety. Enjoyment and senses.
2025-01-04 09:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSalty and fresh water
Making the most out of the last few days of sunshine I went to the sea again. I was heaven to lay down in the shore, being splashed and covered by the strong waves. The 10 degrees sea temperature f...

Just wow. I finished work and drove to the sea to wave goodbye to the year with a lovely coastal walk and 3 swim/dips in different beaches. Unbelievable that it was 0 degrees this morning. But don'...

Inspiring time in the freezing waters of my river 💙 Do you ever dance when you are in the water?

I spent Christmas day enjoying my river in the morning and 3 different beaches that I love during the day. Plus a coastal walk connecting them. For me the best way to celebrate this day.

Merry festivities
I hope you have the festive season you want 🙏🏾
I'll hopefully reunite with sea tomorrow 💙
Best wishes and wild blessings ✨
Cold reflection
It's very interesting to notice the sensations regarding the cold in my body when I'm holding my phone and when I'm not. As if by being focusing on not dropping it or framing the pictures decreases...

Right now I'm feeling a delicious inner stillness and calmness. Unaffected by the festive speed and faff. And it's from this place that I want to spend time with others. At least a few.

Pre solstice dip
Today I felt a lot of energy in the water, I felt like being really silly, I had a lot of fun and I nearly drop my phone into the water. You can see my 'ooooops face' in some of the pictures 😅
Rainfall
Heavy rain today. Really heavy at times. It stopped when I had time to go for my dip, and even a ray of sunshine as I was getting dressed! Cosmos way of saying hey!
Tuning into icy water
The experience of water these days is refreshing, and if course, sometimes painful, like needles. I listen to my body and I'm not in too much. Finding the balance without overdoing it. I prefer to ...

Frosty and misty start, 0 degrees.
No time for a dip in the morning. But I did it later in the day, which turned out better as the sunshine was bea...
At the sea!
This morning I dipped in my frozen river, this afternoon I drove to the sea. It had been such a long time!
Super rough sea meant that I played on the shore. It was heaven!!! Sea was definitely w...
