A mixed bag of pictures from yesterday and today; including pre and post Ecotherapy practices for myself, to support me in coming back to wholeness and heal after an unexpected time of being moved by life.

Despite feeling dizzy I'm still coming to the river; it gives me a sense of normality, and much joy. Calmness and presence.
What's your favourite pic?
Once I stopped, my body showed me that I had overdone in the last few days. A lot of driving, dancing 12 hours a day for 3 days, not sleeping enough, not eating enough for the amount of exercise... And no proper transition from festival to normality. I've learnt the lesson. So I'm taking it as easy as I can to recover

This weekend was incredible. Radically different from my current life of quiet places. Big festival, crowds, amazing bands, and lots of dancing.
Much healing too, in accepting that I don't need to choose between nature and civilization, that I can have it all, when it feels good to do it, when is the right time to do i...
Best decision! paradise đđŊâ¨

Making time for a swim after preparing my gear for a new adventure!
Post swim pictures among the greens, it's so lush đđŊ

Today is being an exquisite day. Relaxed pace, fulfilling work outdoors with a participant, sunny and warm, gentle breeze, movement, horses... And two dips so far đđŊ
Can you guess what was in the morning and what in the afternoon?
Blessed to have given a Qigong workshop yesterday evening in a village near the sea. That meant that I stayed overnight in my van, right next to the water.
I woke up, jumped out of the van and went into this seducing, sensuous sea. Glacier coloured water, fresh morning, wonderful sky with the promise of letting sun rays g...
Sudden outburst of joy in the river. Really tunning into glorious silliness after a morning of failed attempts to do some shopping for next week. Tomorrow.

New moon feels potent today... A day with new exciting opportunities for my Qigong and movement sessions in a venue I haven't worked in before... And it's close to the sea!
So after my meeting I went for a dip in the sea and drizzle, in an empty, wild beach.
After other jobs I was literally exhausted so I had a re...
I slept by the sea. In the morning I had a delicious walk through meadows of wildflowers and long grasses, to a near beach. There were only 2 people. Such a beautiful beach, with plenty of places to explore because of the tide. I did Qigong, explored the rock pools and had long swim in the playful sea. The water temperature w...

Who would have thought that the sun was going to shine so bright? Not me!
I even saw kingfisher đ
Specially tasty after some hours of boring admin stuff đĢŖ
Looking forward to this evening, I'm going to an event which is close to the coast, which means... I'll visit and merge with the sea đđŊđ
Very frequently I dance in the water, specially in the sea; she invites me to express myself myself through movement. Today after my swim I really wanted to dance, to move, to celebrate life, to honour the place like that.
Do you dance? Secretly or not, or both?!
Dancing is also medicine for the soul for me đ...
I didn't have much time between two jobs this afternoon, just about for a speedy dip and some nourishing food. It was worth it!
Glorious sunshine and wonderful 22 degrees (which feels higher because of the humidity).
Look at the colour of the water!!! đđŊđ
Unexpected time at two stunning beaches this afternoon and evening. Really appreciated this time floating, basking in the sun on the sand, exploring the coastline and just being đđŊđ

I'm loving this day so far and looking forward to the rest of it, with the intention to keep nourishing myself with homegrown veggies, rest, book, movement, podcast, music... I do not want to move anywhere, it's all here đđŊđ¤
Drizzly, grey, great day for all that! It's 16 degrees air temp; pretty unbelievable t...
Today I lost all my chats and files on WhatsApp, ans still not working ok... Not happy about it. On the other side it's making me reflect about attachment. Is this a sign to keep working on non-attachment to things, or people (in a healthy way)? Or a sign to release rage? A sign to keep letting go?...
It can mean many ...
I can't believe it's sunny!!! After some work at the computer and some gardening, I am fully enjoying some time in the sun and the river. So lush!
It won't be for long, sun is strong! I am definitely loosing my resilience to be in the full sun đ
Happy Tuesday!
Last night I went to the closest local bonfire for San Juan (the equivalent of midsommar), we danced a few songs around the fire and threw pieces of paper with intentions. It was short and sweet. I enjoyed being part of that community for the event, even though I don't feel part of it (apart from family and my Qigong particip...

Last night I was driving back home but I decided to stop and stay overnight by a river I swam in last month.
In the morning, feeling still really groggy, I looked for the path I had used last time to get into the river and it didn't exist; all the way down to the water was a nettle forest! The rain has definitely invigora...
On my way somewhere else I took a detour to spend a couple of hours at the beach. I loved the swim and had a nice walk on the sand. It was lovely and quiet.
Nobody would have guessed it's summer; pretty chilly temperatures (around 16 degrees), wind and very grey. There's no way I'll get a tan this year at this rate đ...
Before dusk I decided to head to the woods and spend some time there. Initially just to go for a walk. I ended up sat on the roots of chestnut tree, grounding, being, reflecting in the longest day of the year. I felt such peace surrounded by moss and smell of wet soil
On the way back I went to the garden to pick some ...
I nearly didn't swim today... It was raining really hard and I was working from home really cosy. However, I went to the garden for some lettuce and to see the river and that was it; I was enchanted!
I really enjoyed the swim (of course, very close to the shore because of the currents). It did a lot of good, it grounde...
I really relish coming back to my spot after a couple of days in other waters. This is such a peaceful place, and with such varied ecosystem đđŊ

Last day at this festival also started with a beautiful swim, and another two later on. Wonderful feeling of getting into the water and float straight out of a pretty reheated van, and after an evening and night of dancing!
Two swims were in solitude, the other with new beautiful connections and I love and need both;...
This weekend I'm at a small electronic music festival and there's a glorious river đđŊ Perfect combination
May you have a great weekend â¤ī¸
I'm not pregnant but I feel like I am. I've been feeling very bloated recently and it's an unsettling feeling. It could be a million things and I'm in the unknown, trying to stay calm.
My body is asking for rest and I'm doing my best. However, not succeeding yet... Today I was meaning to meet a friend for some quiet ti...
When I was in the river this morning a pine marten crossed it through the branches of trees from both shores. It's was lovely to see. I took the pic afterwards when I left the water.
Funnily enough I saw another pine marten yesterday, about 20 km from here in the mountains, crossing the road before my van. And another...
