Autumn Equinox - Postcard

Dear Silver Birch friends 💚

I went for a cycle yesterday afternoon breathing in the fresh air from the beautiful oak trees. So many acorns this year!

🌳🌿🌳🍂🍃🍁🍃🍂🌳🌿🌳🍂🍃🍁🍃🍂🌳🌿🌳🍂🍃🍁🍃🍂🌳🌿🌳

The strong breeze created such gorgeous rich crisp rustling from the leaves. The fallen branches are perfect percussion at this time of year as the leaves are drying out with the acorn caps still attached.

Similar in sound to the Peruvian Chakapa used for shamanic journeying the oak branches and leaves bring a gentle soothing rythmn and I look forward to sharing my oak explorations for your Autumn Postcard very soon.

Autumn Equinox - Melodic Meditation

Dear friends, I’m very excited to be sharing more elemental songs and mantras of the heart for our next Melodic Meditation on the Autumn Equinox. It’s a beautiful time of the year to gather and set intentions. The mornings are becoming a little cooler so there will be herbal tea, cushions and blankets avaialble to keep cosy and warm. We will bring extra warmth with songs to nourish and uplift our hearts and souls.

Elemental Songs

I mentioned in my last post how we came together to sing elemental songs for peace and unity at Withybrook, Warwickshire. We had the wildness of wind, the flickering of fire and sparkle of sunshine, the sprinkle of rain and grounding of earth, allowing a beautiful flow of energy for the afternoon.

This gathering was a little different as we sang elemental songs and Buddhist and Hindu inspired mantras in English and in the spirit of Kirtan with call and response. It was really lovely and accessible for everyone who attended the gathering on Sunday so I'm looking forward to sharing in this way for our next Melodic Meditation to open this up to those that are more comfortable singing songs in English. I absolutely love singing Sanskrit mantras and I know some of you do too and I will be weaving some of these with the elemental songs for the Autumn Equinox gathering. I look forward to seeing you at The Centre Of Complementary Medicine on Sunday 21st September.

“Massage for Your Soul”

"If you enjoy reconnecting with yourself your body, and the nature surrounding you, then I can highly recommend Melodic Meditation sessions with Mog. Undertaken in such a gentle and authentic way, you can’t help but to feel calm and centred whilst also being an integral part of these beautiful events. It feels a bit like having a massage for your soul! Everyone is made to feel very welcome and at ease straight away."

Light Of The Sun - Elemental Gathering

Last Sunday we came together to sing elemental songs for peace and unity. We had a beautiful afternoon at wonderful Vikki Henderson's Soul Energy Alchemy nature infused home, in Withybrook, Warwickshire.

The element of air was very strong on Sunday and we gave so much gratitude to her with our voices as she blessed us with her strength and vitality. We set intentions and gave thanks to the fire by the woods. Here’s a little snippet on Instagram.

Thank you Vikki for hosting the afternoon with your nourishing presence and keeping the fire lit and sustaining us with the most delicious home grown herbal teas. And thank you to everyone else who joined the gathering, gifting the space with your delightful voices and joyful energy.  Some participated in the additional optional recording session on a song I composed for this summer’s solstice. Remarkably, they had only heard the song for the first time on Sunday, and we sang it together just once before recording, and then one or two takes each to record their vocals. I’ve been editing the song this week to bring everyone’s vocals together ready to share on the Corn Moon with all those who took part on the day. Perfect timing for the completion and sharing of this song. I’m truly in awe of everyone who joined in. It’s sounding so lovely. A fun, experimental and wonderful collaboration!

Lots of love and full moon blessings from Mog xxx 🕊🌕🤍

follow your heart - new song - new moon

'Follow Your Heart' was a blessing to receive on the last day of the Advanced Space Holders Retreat in Spain while sitting on a step by the Moon Shala watching the sunrise.

Thank you to Rita Hraiz for the opportunity to be at this retreat which she will be holding again next year and thank you to all the beautiful space holders for your open hearts and gentle blessings.

Thank you to all my Patreon subscribers and all of you who continue to support my music. Special thanks to Ari Malmberg, Neil Brown, Pete Sutton, Rachel Elnaugh, Bella Thomas, Kya Paris and Tom Evans.

Investing in music direct from independent artists helps musicians to continue creating and stay independent so huge gratitude to those of you who continue to invest in my musical offerings for peace and love.
