  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.
