With excitement and joy that Wind Willow Consortium continues our collaboration with Anthony of Shades of Lavender to create an experience that will fill the senses. Shades of Lavender has over 1,800 lavender plants in over 11 varieties and 5 acres of white pine.

On Saturday, July 12 from 2 to 4 p.m., visitors can walk the grounds while sounds dance between the fields and the pines. Tibetan singing bowls, RAV drums, gongs and flutes will blend with nature to create moments of peace. Moments that often get lost in our every day. Allow us to create that for you. At Windwillow Consortium our goal as a non-profit is to share sound with our community and to educate and understand the powerful way sound can affect our health and well being. Come experience the sound and appreciate the many ways lavender can be incorporated into your peace as well.
