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 timbering. 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 2009 the renovations and upgrades to Hawks Landing continue. Cabins are getting facelifts, along with the property. Because of the economy, we have lowered costs for 2009 to make get-aways, retreats and vacations more affordable for our guests.

In the next ten years, we hope to add 1 new cabin, built to conform to nature.. We are working on the herb, vegetable, and organic gardens, along with adding more features. We hope to have a wood-fired hot tub, and sweat lodge.  However, we will 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.
