Philosophy
Windstar believes that personal, interpersonal, societal, and ecological environments are all integral components in the creation of a sustainable future for the planet.

Windstar is the recognition and demonstration that each of us is part of, and responsible for, the quality of life on planet Earth; and that which affects any one of us, affects us all.

Windstar believes that each individual can play an important role in creating a peaceful, healthy and promising future on a global scale.

Windstar recognizes the human species as part of nature, whose existence depends on its ability to draw sustenance from a finite natural world, and whose continuance is contingent upon its ability to keep from destroying the natural system that regenerates this world.

Windstar is an expression of the power of human creativity, integrity and responsibility.

Windstar integrates Earth, mind and spirit and encourages individuals to operate out of this integrated place.
