As part of the open evening, Antje Rook will introcuce the Portland Wind Phone, talk about the history of wind phones and the story behind them and explain how wind phones can be a gentle way to help coping with grief.
The first Wind Phone was created in Japan by Itaru Sasaki after his cousin passed. When the 2011 tsunami took thousands of lives, others came to use the phone, too, and it became a symbol of hope and love that doesn't end. Today, Wind Phones are found around the world in gardens, parks, trails, cemeteries, schools, and homes. Each is a tender invitation to speak, to grieve, and to know you are not alone.
The Portland Wind Phone will be the 5th wind phone in the UK
