Firefly in Winter at Hawks Landing

The Philosophy of Hawks Landing Retreat Center for Conscious Living is to foster respect for nature by providing opportunities to enjoy and appreciate the natural environment. Nature lovers and urban dwellers alike enjoy the peace and beauty of Hawks Landing. 

Hawks Landing is committed to restoring the land's wildness and natural beauty, both scarred from years of farming and clear-cutting. In keeping with this philosophy, the number of visitors at any given time is limited to ensure that human presence is not overly intrusive. 

Hawks Landing is Green and Eco-Friendly, we recycle, compost, and live sustainably on the land. We do have a few creature comforts, but live as close to nature as we can.

In 2011 the renovations and upgrades to Hawks Landing continue. Cabins are getting face lifts, along with the property.  Retreats and get-away vacations are more affordable for our guests because we offer simple living at its finest.  Our small cabins are a step above camping.  Living off up off the ground, with the pleasure of a bed, linen, dishes, and not having to set up in the rain.  When staying in a cabin, a person only has to pack themselves, their cloths, the food they choose to eat, and a camera. 

We are working on the herb, vegetable, and organic gardens, along with adding more features. However, we remain simple and somewhat primitive.

What is sustainable living? In our home examples are use of compact fluorescent bulbs, composting and recycling waste, paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic. The products used for cleaning are ecologically safe and organic. Gardening is organic. Firewood is collected from dead wood on the surrounding grounds. We buy Fair Trade and cruelty-free products whenever possible. We are learning to live with what the land provides. Living as close to nature as possible.
