Wild Currents: Poems On The Transformative Power of Water in Turbulent Times
The world of wild swimming is where souls are restored, heavy hearts are healed, and the deep immersion in nature is resource-ing a new age of seekers.
The explosion of wild swimming during the pandemic is testament to the power of taking the plunge, how nature is plugging us back into source, and how the need to immerse in nature is a powerful tool for change.
This book seeks to explore the stories and some of the humans behind the swims, how the movement of wild swimming has flooded our awareness, and to discover the many reasons why we need our wildness and the magic that happens in the water more now than ever before.
Jo is an author, podcaster, writer, project manager, creative thinker, wild swimmer, and prolific human connector. Her soul passion and purpose is to create connections and conversations with unboxed leaders that use their brilliance to create change.
Jo's work at its core is about human connection; her belief is that when we connect, create and grow, momentum and magic take their seat.

"Wild Currents is elemental, primal, raw, fierce and delicious. It is like a hug from Mother Earth herself, or one of Jo's "salty kisses". It will move you to tears and laughter, and bring you back to all that truly matters in one quick dip. It is pure, magical, deep-reaching medicine for the soul." - Zoë K. M. Foster, Embodied Expression Artist & SacredExpression(TM) Facilitator
"Reading Wild Currents took me on a full-body experience that stirred the watery eddies of my soul. There is something rather special about an author that truly writes from the heart; baring it so that the world can benefit from the medicine that lies within this sacred and deeply personal space. Jo writes with such a profound and moving purity that invites genuine connection - a connection that will stay with me long after closing the pages of this beautiful book." - Em Mulholland, Shamanic Practitioner & Word Doula
