Since our first primordial breath, wind has been a central theme of cultural thought. Wind in its different guises - from the ′natural phenomenon′ of air in motion, to embodied ′life giving′ experiences and deities and spirits - has contributed to the richness of human ideas and practices from ancient cultures to this very day.
