Welcome to Wind Spirit Community. Nestled in Arizona’s tranquil Dripping Springs Valley, Wind Spirit is a 30-year-old intentional community, retreat center, and living sanctuary devoted to harmony with nature, spiritual growth, and authentic connection. Beneath a lush canopy of fruit, nut, and native trees, alongside vibrant gardens, we nurture a sanctuary for wildlife while cultivating food using 100% organic methods and evolving toward deeper harmony with earth. Our land serves as a place for renewal, transformation, and conscious living, offering a space for visitors to reconnect with themselves and the earth.
At Wind Spirit, we seek to be a “school of life” where the virtues of unity, community, compassion, kindness, love, patience, silence, transformation, and spiritual ascendance are lived and learned. Life here is dynamic and authentic-a dance between moments of profound beauty and meaningful growth through challenges. Whether you visit for a retreat, to live here full time or simply to share in our rhythm, we invite you to engage with an open heart, respect the land, and find inspiration in this sacred journey!
We strive to maintain a naturally safe environment for ourselves and the nature around us. We are one! We use only tree friendly, biodegradable and unscented products, no wifi (ethernet only), and no chemical products in community areas. Read more and get a list of our pre-approved products here.
We believe in the power of healing naturally. Many people who come to Wind Spirit come to heal the mind, body, and or spirit in one way or another in this nature-rich, semi-remote location. We practice and offer many different healing modalities combined as a group and welcome those who are centered within love, source light, and unity. We are of many faiths and belief systems while not infringing upon others.
The Co-Creators Agreements are a great way to bring about transformation in a society where most of these agreements or values are not incorporated or discussed. We value them as a foundational body of work that will help foster better communication and hence a better place to live.
ABOUT US
The closest town Globe is 20 miles away. We continue to nurture the community land, an AZ non-profit corporation, and update our bylaws and vision as we experience and grow. We are committed to 100% organic methods of food production along with continually working to bring our 16 acres more in line with permaculture practices. A canopy of thousands of mature fruit, nut and native trees feed and shelter us, several gardens provide us with more food.. All this bio-mass also creates a sanctuary for a large bird population as well as for many other animals.
We aspire to live in harmony which is not always easy, be good stewards of the land and be as sustainable as possible, while also being realistic about what we can afford to do with the resources we have. Community is really all about our relationships with each other everything else is secondary. Along with this we are committed to keeping WSC affordable through simple living without the poverty mentality that can often accompany low cost living. We are not a cult in any way, we have no leaders but feel it is wise to except wisdom found through experience. We honor diversity of thought and spiritual practices.
We do encourage people to eat a healthy diet of whole fresh foods as opposed to a denatured food diet. We have an outdoor gas barbecue for cooking meat/fish/fowl but occasionally someone will use the community indoor stove to cook certain dishes. We are not dogmatic about eating, there are people here who like to eat meat/fish/foul. If you are very strict about what you eat you will need to find the space within to allow others their choice as well.
When you look at most community websites you might think they are close to the utopian ideal, glowing descriptions of goals, values, visions that most anyone would desire. We are not immune from choosing some of these descriptions on our website but I will add that when our community is functioning at a high level it can seem like a utopia. I wish it where that way all the time, but that is not the case. The ever changing paradigm, the up’s and down, negative/positive seem to be a process of life. Who wants to write on their website about some of the not so good experiences we have gone through. All we will say is that we get a little better at community living all the time learning form all our past experiences. So as you read through our website keep this in mind and do not build unrealistic expectations only to be disappointed. We like to promote the positive, not be naive about the negatives but to view these issues as growth opportunities on our path.

Don’t Be Nice – Be Kindby Akaya Windwood I recently facilitated a community meeting organized to address a spate of violence in a neighborhood here in Oakland, California. Roughly 200 people showed up—young people from the streets, grandmothers, school teachers, community activists, neighbors, and politicians. The gathering crossed lines of class, ethnicity, religion, gender, and…
