Rewilding. Wildswimming

With the sisters

Surrendered to seaweed, water, chalk, sky, cliff...

Dreamy

Being held by viscosity,
caressing each other.
Swirling, dreaming,
dancing against the current
until I melt.

Lightness II

Emerging from the waters,
and showered in light

Lightness

Holding sun and water,
warm reflection,
wavy mirror.
Light existence

Xana II

Xana

My hike yesterday was in close very close to my heart, soul and mythopoetic identity. It's a place named after the mythological creatures of our culture that inhabit there, the Xana. They are water nymphs, water spirits with female body.
The day before I felt the call of doing again that walk, of rendering them a visit... So I did, offered them song, attention, company... Blissful. Magical.

Aquatic plant II

Aquatic plant

Acuatic plant called,
quiet voice,
playful,
sweet

Feeling the force of the current II

Feeling the force of the current

Floating,
holding onto the faery island.
Forceful flow,
keeping me afloat.

Faery island underwater II

Faery island underwater

Strong showers and storms these days really changed de current of the river. The faery island is underwater. And I can't really see my body under water... Murky waters. Delicious swim to start the day.

Petrichor II

Petrichor

Incredibly sensful experience this morning when I went down to the river. Feeling still really groggy. The smell of petrichor was intense and wonderful. The current of the river increased thanks to the recent heavy rains and storms, some of the rocks were covered, apart from the fairy island... A pleasure to swim against the current today with a tiny bit more resistance, and be carried downstream with gentleness and a yet soft sun.

Stillness

Stillness in the motion of the river
Ray's of sun painting the surface
Solitary leaf downstream
Damselflies hovering over
Blissful time

A way of being in the world...

I started consistently skinny-dipping about four years ago, during my first year of wildswimming through winter.
It was December, the previous week there was a layer of ice on my lake. Every time a new challenge. That day I had forgotten my swimsuit, and being there on the shore, not getting into the water was not an option. I was determined and looking forward to my cold fix.

So I did, I went in naked. I faced my fear of been too cold. It was bliss. Since then I don it want to use...

Welcome!

Hola!

So glad that you're here. I'm looking forward to sharing with you something that I'm really passionate about: wildswimming, and to taking you on a journey, connecting with the senses, the body, emotions, and the natural world. A journey of rewilding in water bodies.

I'll be pictures, texts... whatever format speaks to me to transmit my aim to inspire you to dive into your rewilding in wild waters.

What is Rewilding?

By rewilding I mean to come back to our natural...
