The way that Patricia approaches water is unlike anything I have ever experienced. It was such an enlightening time, full of connection, positive vibes, and enchantment. It feels magical getting to know the water through such a different light. I don’t think I had previously given much thought to how the aquatic element is so alive, full of different vibrations, soothing, relaxing, and forgiving as well. It sent ripples through my mind and soul…

To be weightless. And to know how to bring yourself here again and again. Thank you.

The ritual of meeting the water each morning. Regardless of mood, temperature, internal and external. Trusting. Swimming. Floating. Listening to ancient water wisdom. Being with my fear and resistance, letting sea energy hold me. So much gratitude.

Patricia’s Befriending Water practice has opened new ways for me to listen to my intuition, see my capabilities, and move through a big perceived fear. A powerful remembering. I still have the ability to be adventurous and do new things.

RewildRestore is one of my favorite experiences of all time. Patricia curates likeminded curious, kind, and joyful women interested in learning about themselves and the world …The magical thread is Patricia sharing her soulful and wise teachings garnered from a life as a seeker. She welcomed me into her practice and guided me on a journey of growth and finding things within myself. The venue is a stunning, impeccably designed by co-host Anita, who makes you feel like family.

I returned home a spirit transformed. Patricia’s work is powerful, it changed how I relate to water in the most wonderful way.

I can’t recommend this week-long immersion in the healing powers of the Aegean more highly…. Patricia elevated my sea swimming to more of a ritual, which has has become such a powerful anchor in my life.

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to spend a week with Patricia and RewildRestore. I left feeling nurtured, fulfilled, and full of laughter.

A wonderfully mindful and restorative trip. The water is still with me.

Soul refreshing. My week was unforgettable, delicious, and adventurous. I loved the ocean swims, hikes, meditations. I also love the generous space for solitude, where I chose to do absolutely nothing.

This experience is not so much about ‘swimming,’ as it is about cultivating a relationship with water. I got completely into this spirit very fast, and it was exactly what I was unknowingly looking for.  …The meals! Fantastic and brilliant choices, what a delicious variety of fresh everywhere.”

Immersion of the soul every morning. Keros and Cycladic spirits protecting you as you let go of whatever you left behind.  Meet and commune with local families, fishermen & merchants of Koufonisi. I put out to the Universe the call to be rewilded. She delivered. I returned home restored. Thank you.

— Muir Pamer. New York


After reading about Patricia’s work, I jumped at the chance to spend a week on a Greek island with a focus on water, great food and learning a bit more about myself.  What I came away with was beyond my wildest dreams.  My deep-seated fear of being in the ocean melted away.  The crystal-clear water is so buoyant that I felt held and safe.  The accommodations, a magical home away from home, and the local food was nourishing and exciting. I also learned a lot about myself.  I was one of six women in the retreat, and we came together in a way that shook me.  … They helped me feel safe in the water and rediscover why I love the sea, taught me to take risks and trust again, and also helped me to understand the magic of the in-between spaces and staying in the present.  For whatever place, or transition, or answers you are looking for, Patricia’s experience has something to offer you.

– Melissa G., Wisconsin

This has been very healing for me. The way we meet in the water. See things in a new way. A community that feels like a family.

I came to the sea to know things about myself that have been lost or forgotten. She reminded me of who I am.

- Kat Mason, Wisconsin


…Many have asked me, "What iss your favorite part of the experience?" and I can't separate one part from another. ‘The cumulative effect’ is the genius of it. Having a daily flow that is spacious and flexible, just the right balance of things planned and not-planned. RewildRestore is relaxing and peaceful, a deeply soul-nourishing experience that provides adventure, camaraderie, sun, the salty sea, exquisite food prepared so lovingly, superb accommodations, and so many thoughtful details. I came away understanding how mindfulness and ritual can work together to create expansion and inner calm. It’s been a month since my return and I have slept more soundly every night (and I was sleeping well beforehand!).

Patricia pulls wisdom out of the sea, she embodies it.

– Tina Roth-Eisenberg, Creative Mornings

Working with Patricia was a completely unique, magical, beyond what I could have imagined experience. Having created dozens of companies, initiatives and brands over time I can safely say I’ve never experienced anything like her process. She took us on a journey seeking our company’s essence and when she presented her creative and new strategic narrative of us, I was moved to tears. I don’t think we’ve ever been witnessed in such a deep way. She’s a totally unique talent that has magical skills that defy traditional categorization. Stay open, follow her lead and you will be blown away.
