Unexpected magnificent beauty

Unexpected change of plans brought me to these spectacular places. Morning swim in the mountains and now I trespassed someone's field to sunbathe and dip in this little pool of the stream. I encountered a deer and a red squirrel (this one was crossing the steam through some pebbles while I was in the water, so we were on the same level! Adorable!!!). Special encounters

Recovering

This is my first dip since Sunday... It's feels like ages ago. I've been mostly in bed... I feel I dehydrated myself over the weekend; a lot of sunshine, a hike, dancing at midday in the sun, being overexcited about life, and too little water... I'm feeling fatigued, spaced out, with a strong headache and at the beginning feverish...

I do struggle to keep hydrated when I'm not at home... Maybe this time I'll learn something... 🙏🏽

The swim felt lovely, I needed it. And I sa...

Sunrise swim

Ohhhh this is life. Parking by the sea and waking up befor sunrise to taste the full show and swim at that time when the veil is thin, and everything is soft, delicate, quiet. Just love it. I love mornings. What about you? What's your most inspiring time of the day?

So green

The green expands everyday, it's so delicious to see, and to feel that fresh start... Mmmm

Feeling strong and rooted

I feel that I've never been more content and blessed in my life. It's such a way of being in the world that I can't really express making it justice... I had been making myself small in my recent romantic relationship... And now I feel I can fully be me and grow

Post gardening swim

All of the sudden temperatures over the day are rising as if it was summer (mornings are still around 6-7 degrees). I did quite a lot of work in the garden, sowing seeds, transplanting some veggies and planting a couple of trees. The swim afterwards was a real gift to cool down! Lovely to be back in my river 💙

Cold start

It's such a pleasure to swim in different places these days in Extremadura. This particular area is full of water, waterfalls, enchanted woodland... Wonderful for hikes and swims! This pictures are from this morning. I just jumped out of my van directly into a little pool in the river! Very strong and cold water! It definitely helped me to wake up!

Wake up swim

After a really busy and inspiring period recently I feel exhausted. I'm in love with this world and its people even more and i guess that's part of the tiredness; feeling intensily is exhausting 😊 River sorted my out quite a bit... I'm getting ready for a road trip to an area of Spain I've never visited and im really excited to spend a few days meeting new beings. It seems that there are amazing waterfalls, rivers...so I hope to be able to capture the beauty. weather forecast is torrentia...

Full Moon weekend

This weekend has been magical; I've been checking out locations for future retreats and wow, I came back incredibly inspired and full of love... In love of people, places, projects... I feel a strong energy in many of us to create spaces in community and many wonderful projects will be birth from these symbiosis. Blessed 🙏🏽❤️

Socks off

Today I decided not to wear my neoprene shoes and gloves. Letting go of these layers too to fully connect with river. It was very beautiful to feel the pebbles and rocks after a few months of being separated... I'm very grateful for having had them over the coldest months, but time has come to let them go until I need them again

Steward of the river

Now that the current is not strong and the level of the water has dropped quite a bit I can pick the rubbish that was flowing and got stuck in brambles in the last few weeks. When I see plastic on the shore, or anywhere really, I feel grief... I apologise on behalf of our species to the land for all the atrocities that we do, for the lack of compassion, for the disconnection... and while disentangling the pieces I feel the deepest love and appreciation for all that exists, the abundance, the...

Delicatessen

Such a beautiful time this morning by the river. There's something delicate about this time of the year, the contrast between tiny daily changes in the flowers and buds and the gentleness of what arises. It invites me to move with that flow ...

In a dreamy state

My swim was a succession of many moods: exhilarating, peaceful, meditative... These pictures capture the dreamy facets...

I started my period yesterday and today I'm feeling quite exhausted. Glad to offer my blood to the river; blood joining the veins of the earth 💚

Have a lovely weekend ❤️

Crow's nest

Today felt like summer, really warm and sunny. But crows keep the rhythm of the seasons, while busy bringing materials for their nest, yet once again. Luckily this year they are building them in the nearest tree, not in the one that's dead and will be felled at some point. They deeply know 🙏🏽

Today's swims were delicious. There was something about the presence of the water that was exhilarating; the colour reminded me of glaciers; the texture, thick; shinny under the sun; strong and decisive...

Wet Sunday

Alder buds waking up, brave! Still 0 degres in the morning, then max of 8...wintery weather, rain, mist... Very atmospheric. And no matter what, a dip 🙏🏽

Back to winter temperatures

A real drop in temperatures these days... This morning it was 0 degrees!
So much goodness and abundance around and inside 🙏🏽

Soul's calling

Sometimes I wonder how would I have been inhabiting my skin if I hadn't jumped into wildswimming and deeper nature connection. How would I be if I hadn't listened to my soul's calling of merging with waters as I came into this world. The vision is a scary, painful one. But I'm here, and proud of it 🙏🏽

Connected

In the last few days I'm experiencing a fresh wave of connectedness and aliveness that I hadn't felt in quite a while. It's very intense, and also sublte. A veil has been lifted, the veil that was covering my most spiritual depth. A side of me that was muted under life in the middle world and under navigating the waters of an endangered relationship. A reminder that when I don't create space for my spirituality, I can't fully reach this expanse of aliveness. Working on grief also creates this...

New week

May your week starts smoothly 🙏🏽

Blessings from a clearer river; still strong current. Admiring the force from the shore, bathing in liquid silver, witnessing the alder buds coming back. Tasty.
