Welcome to Wind Spirit Community – A Desert Oasis and Intentional Community
Discover Wind Spirit Community, a 30-year-old intentional community and food forest nestled in the serene Dripping Springs Valley, Arizona. Wind Spirit is an eclectic desert oasis where abundant wildlife, pristine night skies, and a deep connection to the earth create a magical, transformative experience for all who visit. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time camper, this is a place to unplug, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the harmony of communal living.
Stay Options:
Glamping Tent: Our spacious 16-ft wide octagon bell tent, 9 ft tall at the center, sleeps up to 4 guests. It features a queen-size bed, a full-size futon, a Mr. Buddy propane heater for chilly nights, and several cozy blankets. Guests have access to a nearby shower house and compost eco-toilets for a comfortable stay that blends luxury with nature.
Shaded Campsites: Our two campsites offer a peaceful retreat under the shade of native trees. Located just a minute’s walk to the bathrooms and five minutes to the showers, these sites are perfect for guests who prefer a more traditional camping experience.
A Unique Community Experience: Wind Spirit Community is not just a place to stay – it’s a way of life. Over the past three decades, this land has been nurtured into a lush sanctuary filled with mature fruit, nut, and native trees. Wind Spirit has been home to hippies, artists, musicians, bohemian travelers, and free spirits, creating a laid-back atmosphere that invites visitors to unwind, connect, and explore.
Guests are encouraged to join in on communal potlucks every Wednesday, where we share food, stories, and music around a communal fire pit (please note: personal fires are not permitted due to forest fire risks). Impromptu drumming sessions and songs around the fire are a common sight, and you're welcome to join the rhythm.
Activities and Amenities:
Yoga Deck: Practice yoga, meditate, or simply relax on our outdoor yoga deck with views of the stunning desert landscape.
Hiking and Climbing: Explore the many hiking trails or check out a nearby climbing spot for some adventure.
Workshops and Community Events: Guests are welcome to participate in workshops and community events happening throughout the year.
Nature and Stargazing: Wind Spirit is home to an incredible array of wildlife (you might see 100+ wild animals a day), and the clear night skies offer some of the best stargazing opportunities in the country.
Community Guidelines:
Quiet hours start at 10:00 PM to preserve the peaceful atmosphere.
Cell phone service is limited on the property but there is cell service at the top of a 10 minute hike or within a 2 minute drive away from the property.
Guests are asked to put their cellphones on airplane mode to minimize disruption to wildlife (they are affected by the signal).
Please avoid using strong fragrances or burning incense.
No cigarettes are allowed on the property; smokers may walk down to the road (about a 5 min walk from each of the campsites).
We are 420-friendly, but ask that you smoke in a private place away from communal areas and also do not smoke inside our glamping tent or any other community buildings.
This is an alcohol-free property: please refrain from bringing any alcohol.
Respect for the land and its residents is paramount – seek to exist in harmony with nature while you’re here.
Come as You Are: Wind Spirit is more than a getaway – it's a journey into a sustainable, earth-conscious way of life. We welcome you to experience the healing energy of this desert sanctuary and be a part of our community, even if just for a little while.
