WHY WINDWOOD?
There is a word in the English language used to describe the unique phenomena of wind blowing through trees. Psithurism (pronounced sith-err-iz-um). It comes from the Greek psithuros, which means to whisper, and has been the source of inspiration for countless naturalists and poets.
The wind is a largely invisible force, yet it has the power to change landscapes. It can even change opinions and change lives. Yet, we cannot see the wind. We only see what it carries. We witness its impacts on those it encounters … experience what it feels like when it brushes against our skin … and, yes, rejoice in the sounds it makes as it blows through the forest.
Such is a persuasive message.
Like the wind, carefully crafted stories with the right digital supports will spread through a community influencing and inspiring those it encounters, and slowly changing the landscape. That’s why I created Windwood Communications – to help local organizations and small businesses tell their story, find their wind and build community, online and in real life.
Let’s chat about what your needs are. Better yet, let’s go for a walk in the woods and listen to the wind.
