Wind Spirit is a 20+ year old community, located on the same land as the old Christmas Star Community (1979-1993) started by John Cohen family and friends. Christmas Star community planted this beautiful land with an incredible variety of trees and we have continually added to the bio-mass along with resculpting the land as a permaculture work in progress. 

Our community has been experiencing many changes. We have lost two core members, dear friends, Richie and Patricia who have passed on. Other core members have left to seek other experiences.

There is now only one co-founding member living on the land working with new members, long and short term visitors to move the community ahead. Don, the remaining member is trying to heal from chronic Lyme (tick) disease he contracted back east so at times it is a difficult journey. There were 10 of us in July 2016, and roughly 8-10 now in 2025. That number changes seasonally, some have lived here for several months to 6 years.
