Goodbye and Thanks to Wind Spirit

As we bid adieu today to Wind Spirit, we're very grateful to everyone who made us feel welcome and provided a comfortable and healing environment to play, sweat, hike, rest, and explore community in this lush desert oasis.

In the course of our stay, we both had the opportunity to carve new walking sticks from the woody husks of saguaro cactuses, thanks to community member Kevin. Here's Mary hard at work expertly sanding her new walking stick......

And this is what a saguaro looks like.....

We also did yoga every morning on a platform surrounded by lush tropical trees and perfumed by jasmine abuzz with bees and hummingbirds.......

Dozens of flowering citrus trees can be found along many community paths......

And lovely statuary can be found in many picturesque nooks and crannies.....

And on our last evening at Wind Spirit, we hiked with Tina to the top of the ridge overlooking the community for a spectacular Arizona sunset.......

Wind Spirit is a thriving intentional community that opens its arms generously to many visitors throughout the year, and also periodically offers yoga retreats and other workshops. We might even return to offer a Laughter Yoga play weekend some time in the future, or just spend a month (or even a season) enjoying the lushness of Wind Spirit's beautiful land.

Thanks to everyone at Wind Spirit for a wonderful community visit!
