About me

Patricia Garcia-Gomez

Patricia is a renowned water practitioner, sensory immersion artist, and writer. She is also the creative strategist behind some of the world’s most beloved people and brands.

As the creator of RewildRestore Patricia invites people into the water as a practice of listening, sensing, connecting, and untaming. The inspiration began when she was in creative residency on the island of Naxos, immersing herself in the soul and culture of the land. While living in a monastery and creating site-specific multi-sensory installations, she began swimming in the Aegean Sea every day. What started out as a refreshing break in the day turned into a life-changing water practice. She is now a year-round swimmer, including freezing winter water temperatures as low as 33 degrees. Her approach is both physical and meditative, ancient and progressive , and transformative. She brings together ritual, movement, sensory immersion, and practices shared with her from medicine women in diverse cultures,. Her work is ranked Top 30 in intelligent wellness and has been featured in YOLO Journal Wellness Black Book, Country & Townhouse UK, Places of Healing, AGEIST, East Hampton Star, North Forker Magazine, Creative Mornings NY, and the Discovery Channel.
