About me
welcome to FreeSpiritFlow by Nel the Hippogryph
“WHY NEL THE HIPPOGRYPH?”
I have a deep fascination with Nature, symbols and unconditional Love. My artistic name has arisen from those ideas. I feel that Hippogryphs are considerably associated with these aspects of life.

‘ A Hippogryph´s story’ Hippogryph (also known as hippogriff) is said to be an offspring of a griffin and a mare. This impossible love between predator and prey makes hippogryph a symbol for ‘impossible love’; an English saying for the impossible would be ‘pigs might fly’. Hippogryph has the body-half eagle, half horse- can go faster than the speed of light, yet a hippogryph is tameable and loving.
‘ Nela´s Hippogryph story’
Within me also coexist and blend contradictory aspects and their integration is my true path of Life.
An early example of my interests were observing situations and walking the ‘least-trodden’ paths; asking odd questions about the meaning of life. That searching led me to study Nature and Animal Welfare. Since the age of 9 I have engaged with these subjects using inner intuition and the passion from my heart which has grown year by year. I graduated in Agriculture/Horse breeding in 2004.
Less than ordinary and little lonely my teenage years would always be the years that consistently brought me new levels of awareness. I took interests in an alternative esoteric reading. I observed and actively engaged with local surroundings and community. Volunteering for a non-government organization that promotes a sustainable development in the Czech Republic. (I was born in Czechoslovakia). This organization called ‘Brontosaurus’ (http://www.brontosaurus.cz/ ) is a community that teaches care for Nature by integrating it into society in a fun and inspiring way.
Lived and worked in London (UK) for 7 years, that time broadened my view during my 20’s. I’ve changed many of my old patterns of behaviour; layer after layer. Such experiences taught me to BE; live in the HERE and NOW. Alongside my own enhancing experiences my inspiration came from Osho, Abraham Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, St Exupery-The Little Prince, my own MEDITATION and from many others; people you can meet at our ‘Oneworld’s’ page…
Further in early 30’s (meaning now): volunteering, travelling, working; Norway Wwoofing at organic farms, (http://www.wwoof.net)
and back to Czech working at the esoteric book store (http://www.ritualbrno.cz) and the orient wholesale trade shop (http://www.shanti.cz).
My great joy is indeed creativity, that I share at the webpage called ‘Poetic flow’
