Lindsay:
This past weekend Windward hosted the annual Village Helix, a weekend gathering open to all those who are interested in the art and science of intentional community.
This year proved to be a particularly sweet weekend of reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who made this such a memorable weekend. We hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!
