Windhorse Centre is located at Lothlorien Farm, Salt Spring Island, nestled in the foothills of sacred Mount Tuam. Mount Tuam has always been sacred to the local Coast Salish people. In addition it was seen as being a power centre by a Buddhist Lama, who chose its summit for a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Lothlorien Farm consists of 35 acres of forest, pasture and lavender fields with views out over the southern Gulf Islands. The land of Lothlorien Farm is peppered with quartz crystal and exudes an aura of tranquility. The word Lothlorien comes from the home of the Elfin people in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and is a place where time has no time and visitors feel healed just by being there. In addition to being home to Windhorse Centre, Lothlorien is also home to Sacred Mountain Lavender, a boutique lavender farm producing organically grown lavender plants. Sacred Mountain Lavender creates high quality culinary and spa products and therapeutic essential oil. Please visit www.sacredmountainlavender.com.
