About Water & Moon

10am-12-noon

Nourish your relationship with water this winter through joining this growing community of Water & Moon warriors!

Water & Moon sessions are held along the Upper Tweed offering an outdoor creative movement experience with cold water and human connection. Let the river whisper you in. 

Whatever your reason for being drawn to water and movement: pure joy, self-care, physical or mental health, community, grief, change, curiosity, connection or because nothing else lights you up as much, this is an invitation to explore your relationship with water, movement and ultimately, yourself, in a welcoming and relaxed environment.

What to expect
A warm welcome into a respectful circle 
Kit list, location & safety guidance sent to you in advance  
Guided gentle and uplifting body warm-ups
Grounding exercises to listen to yourself and nature
Creative movement suitable for all
Laughter, tears, hilarity, grief, honesty - come as you are
Safety briefing
Experience taking creative movement into cold water as a connected group
Cold water swim - time to dip your own way
Fire with hot herbal tea & biscuits to warm up post-swim
Fun physical warm-up - get feeling back into fingers and toes
Group reflections to close

Each session will follow a different theme inspired by the river & infused by the phase of the moon.

Listen to the whispers in your soul, 
the song of the river - do they call you in? 
Come closer.
Here is Heron, still as only ancient patience can be. 
Here is Kingfisher, arrow-fast, fleeting glimpses of blue.
Here is Salmon, hazelnut knowledge in each eye of a leap.
And here is Water.
Calling,
calling you home

We meet in frost, freeze, sun, snow, rain or cloud - you are warmly and genuinely supported to be 100% in control of whether you enter the water or now. Riverbank participation is always welcome.

I look forward to exploring the free flowing wintery waters with you.
