Anyone else feeling the darkness?

So little light, so much rain, our beloved family cat is dying and life is just tough for family members at the moment💔

And... there's so much kindness and compassion, deeper connection & conversation, candles are great as are little walks for festive foraging 🌲🌿

I honestly haven't had the capacity to dip in cold water this week but I'm sooo looking forward to the Winter Solstice celebrations next week

Can't wait to welcome & celebrate the return of the light with everyone who's booked on✨✨✨

£15pp
Exact location shared on booking, it's very close to Farleigh Hungerford swim club.

You don't have to navigate the dark times alone!
Connection & support as we learn to find and follow our own inner light.
An opportunity to gather in a safely held space & explore what's surfacing for you at the moment.
Spending time together outdoors in the dark is a very powerful experience!
And then we immerse in some way in the river (paddle, standing dip or swim)

This group is for you if you are already a confident Wild Swimmer or Dipper. You will be free to stay in the shallows or swim upstream.

Please email to book a 1-2-1 before booking if you are brand new to wildswims.

Monthly evening circle with an opportunity for a river dip or swim. There is also a paddling option.

Every day & every dip is different ❄️❄️❄️

Yesterday morning I just didn't feel like I had the capacity to get that cold.

Possibly I hadn't slept that well (hardly a surprise for a peri/menopausal woman 😂)

Maybe there was some behind the scenes immune system work going on.

I can't track my menstrual cycles as I have a progesterone coil fitted to balance my oestrogen HRT gel but this is definitely a factor for women and their tolerance of cold water.
explains this very clearly💙

Had I forgotten to eat breakfast?

The important thing to remember is to listen to your own body & inner knowings about what feels right, for YOU.

And this I agree is not as easy as it sounds, and in itself is a lifetime work of self awareness & self trust🙏

Have you ever foregone a dip or a swim? And was it the right decision?

My first ever solo holiday! What I did & learnt about myself🙏

Having twins at 22, being married for 29 years and working in education for many years means I haven't really spent much time on my own😂
Walks & swims & the occasional afternoon when no-one is home are the only real times I'm on my own.
So, at 52 I really felt it was time to find out whether I'd enjoy spending time with myself and I took myself off to the glorious off-grid for a solo mini break.

Here's what I discovered...

*I love quietude
❄️I like hot baths as well as cold ones
*I enjoy my own company
👣I love following my own flow
*I can read for hours & hours on end
🕯️I much prefer candlelight to electricity
*I can survive without the internet (well for 3 days!)
🔥I can light fires & keep them alight
*It's never too cold to enjoy hammock time

AND the most IMPORTANT thing I realised is that I already weave all these things that I love into my everyday life 💙💙💙

You can't believe everything you see on social media! These incredible women made it look like it was a July heatwave day around the pool☀️
In reality it was 5* in the water (official ice swim💪❄️) and about 3* air temp!

What a wonderful day, I'm so full of connection & laughter & joy and have also got into bed in my pyjamas with two hot water bottles so I'll post all the other pics soon💙💙💙

What is a Wild Circle? **
It's a space for women to gather around a fire, outdoors in a beautiful setting and share what's important for them at the moment.

We arrive wrapped up warm, settle in round the fire and start with some gentle breathing & grounding and then talk about the stuff that matters. It's also fine to listen and reflect & not share.

We warm up with tea and cake, perhaps have a go on the swing to warm up and end with a poem or blessing.

If you'd like to join this monthly gathering there are 3 spaces left for this Friday 21st's Wild Circle & just 2 spaces on Fri 19th December.
