Most of us find that we can take time off from our work to enjoy the beautiful landscape and one another. We are located in an area known for outdoor recreation. There are plenty of opportunities to canoe, backpack and explore caves.

We have a number of indoor recreational resources, including a pool table, stereo systems, and a large collection of records and tapes. We have an excellent library, musical instruments, board games, televisions, VCRs, and a satellite dish. There is a well equipped exercise room, a pottery wheel and kiln, and facilities for woodworking, metal crafts, and glass work.

Our computer network is comprised of 12 PC's. In the daytime, it's used by office workers, but at night they are free for personal use. We have our own domain (eastwind.org), and we also have a satellite broadband connection.

Live music is a common pastime for many East Winders. We spend a lot of spare time socializing, and there are frequent parties throughout the year.

Often we pool our artistic energies and create talent shows featuring musical recitals, readings, skits, and other forms of theatre. These "coffeehouses" usually occur in conjunction with our community holidays, which are built around lavish meals and parties that may feature bonfires, sweat lodge gatherings, and drumming circles.
