East Wind is a community of people living and working together in the beautiful hills of the Missouri Ozarks. We hold our land, labor, and resources in common. We attempt to foster a cultural atmosphere free from superficial judgments where everyone is empowered to make their own decisions meaningfully and express themselves creatively. We place great value on cooperation, nonviolence, and direct democracy. Ultimately, we seek to maintain and continually improve this decades strong, living example of what can happen when people see that working together for a common purpose makes life easier and more fulfilling.
