From Hampshire to Pembrokeshire with Love

Dear friends,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer.

I am currently in Pembrokeshire, Wales and making the most of the elements abundantly flowing from the blustery heavens to update you with my latest adventure!

Thank you to my dear friends Mani and Ash who have supported me with so much love and abundance for my journey to Lammas Earth Centre. To raise the funds for the journey, Mani and Ash invited their friends and family for an evening of Kirtan at their home in London where we sang mantras and songs to honour the divine feminine. Thank you to all the gorgeous beings for coming and supporting this lovely evening and Mani for your beautiful mantras and Ash for providing the cosmic soundscape which really brought an extra dimension to the songs and mantras.

Cacao and flute naming ceremony

The following day Mani and Ash held a magical cacao ceremony which was delicious in so many ways..a deep and ethereal journey for reflection, connecting with our inner wisdom and with each other, and a wholesome meal to fill our awakened bellies! It really was such a beautiful weekend and I was filled with so much joy and beauty and then Mani offered a flute naming ceremony to honour my journey my these beautiful instruments. Wow! Pure divine abundance on all levels. Feeling so much gratitude in my heart. And it was lovely to be reminded of all the wonderful connections I have made with these flutes over the years and how it truly has been a healing journey.

Summer Solstice Blessings from Pembrokeshire

Dear friends,

Belated solstice blessings! I have been in Pembrokeshire, Wales, to mark this beautiful time of year and I now have a moment of stillness to send summer solstice wishes to you all. I hope you all had a lovely time.

Lammas Earth Centre

It was such a delight to join Hoppi and Tao Wimbush, founders of Lammas Earth Centre in Pembrokeshire, for a solstice jam with their lovely community. I didn't quite make it to sunrise but we played music well into the early hours huddled around the sacred fire. A real joy to be in this beautiful Welsh landscape. Thank you Hoppi and Tao for this creating this beautiful Summer Solstice gathering x o x

Jess Ward

And today, my beautiful friend and multi-instrumentalist, Jess Ward, also from Pembrokeshire has just released her gorgeous new album In Spirit Sanctum which I am listening to as I write this! It’s literally hot off the press and so beautiful! You can find her new album on Bandcamp.

I Am Free - New Song - New Moon

Dear friends,

Happy new moon to you all!

In this moment I am sitting under a beautiful pink rose bush enveloped in bird song and the rolling hills of Herefordshire - all my senses awakening to this wonder! I am so grateful to my friends Imogen and James to be here in all this abundance. This beautiful lush landscape and gorgeous soundscape has also given me time and space to reflect on my own creative projects.

So over the last few days I have also been making updates to my website. Thank you to my friend Rachel Elnaugh who recommended I bring all my creative projects together under my name. So now red deer sleeping, eightfivepress and ukeydesign will gradually merge under my name mogfry.co.uk (Rachel also gave me inspiration for a new song while I was in Ireland which I will share in a moment!)

In April and May I was back as an Artist in Residence in Cork, Ireland. So wonderful  to experience these places in spring! And so great to have time in these beautiful spaces to record some new songs and make a video…which I am delighted to share with you today.

The song is called ‘I Am Free’ and is available to download from my Bandcamp page. (Thank you Rachel for your words that inspired this song!)

It is very rare that I feature in my own video and it was a real joy to create so I hope you also enjoy my excitement in the Irish landscape!

Here is a link to the video!

Thank you Frieda and Hans at Dereenacappera, Aargroom West Cork, and Judy and Peter at Road Books, Garravagh, Cork, for being wonderful hosts.

Thank you to my Patreon patrons who continue to support my creative journey.

And finally to the beautiful Evolutionary Butterflies and Light Blossoms of the Sky Dancers.

This space is still in working progress as I continue to add my music, film, art  and design projects and collaborations…thank you for being a part of this journey!

Much love from Mog x o x

Mail Art Responses to Cabin at Road Books

Last October 2020 I sent 14 handwritten postcards to friends back in the UK with an invitation to respond to the 14 films I had made over the 14 days in Garravagh. Co. Cork, Ireland. Thanks again to Judy and Peter at Road Books for been amazing hosts.

And thank you so much to everyone who responded to the films through music, collage, photography, print, poetry, spoken word, textiles and drawing. Today the 14th October 2021 felt like the perfect day to celebrate and share the Mail Art responses.
