Wind Phone

New Wind Phone installation offers a unique connection to nature and loved ones.

About the Wind Phone

Installed in the summer of 2024, the Wind Phone is a special place where visitors can connect with nature and communicate with loved ones who have passed away. This unique installation, inspired by the original Wind Phone in Japan, offers a serene setting for reflection, healing, and personal connection.

The Wind Phone is not connected to any phone lines. Instead, it serves as a symbolic tool, allowing individuals to express their emotions and feel a connection with those they have lost. As visitors speak into the receiver, their words are carried away by the wind, symbolically bridging the gap between the present and the past.

The Wells Reserve has long been a sanctuary for those seeking to immerse themselves in the natural world. The Wind Phone enhances this connection, offering a space where the healing power of nature meets the need for emotional expression. Surrounded by the sounds of rustling leaves and ocean breezes, visitors can find comfort in the idea that their words are carried into the vastness of the natural world. Whether you are grieving a loss, seeking a moment of introspection, or simply looking to connect more deeply with nature, this installation welcomes you.

Visit the Wind Phone

The Wind Phone is nestled within the tranquil landscape of the Wells Reserve, on the Laudholm Connector trail, down the hill near the bench dedicated to the victims of COVID-19. Intentionally placed in a secluded spot, this allows visitors space to speak their thoughts, share memories, or simply find solace amidst nature’s embrace.
