Windy Creek Retreat

North Eastern Ontario, Ontario,

Canada

Windy Creek is 40 acres of pristine natural land in Ontario's north. It is a place where like-minded people embrace the principles of spiritual growth, ecological sustainability, and creative exploration.

We are currently looking for new members to join us in building this dream of a place where people can become more in touch with the land and their soul.

We are looking to establish a community where we utilize solar and wind power and live on the land in harmony with the earth and as sustainably as possible.
