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.

Meet Wind Spirit Community

Beneath a lush canopy of fruit, nut, and native trees, alongside vibrant gardens, the community nurtures a sanctuary for wildlife while cultivating food using 100 percent organic methods. The land is a place for renewal, transformation, and conscious living, offering visitors a space to reconnect with themselves and the earth.

At Wind Spirit, they 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 described as dynamic and authentic, a dance between moments of profound beauty and meaningful growth through challenges.

The land and retreats

Wind Spirit sits at 2,750 feet in the Arizona uplands of the Sonoran desert, on a south facing plot with more than 1,000 organic fruit, nut and native trees and a year round harvest. The community hosts retreats, workshops and gatherings that fit its mission, including yoga and meditation retreats, spiritual dance gatherings, healing workshops and alternative building workshops. Overnight space includes indoor rooms and campsites, along with a pool, sauna, yoga deck, ceremony circle and a kitchen that can prepare vegetarian meals.
