Description:
Come join us for an introduction to permaculture and our
community lifestyle! Take a fun and informative tour of our
land, including our organic gardens, alternative building
methods, off grid solar system, animals and orchards.
Learn some basics of permaculture concepts and how we apply them
in action.
We are a committed group of people working together closely in
community, on our 24 acres organic permaculture farm. We
integrate the social aspects of sustainability into daily life:
how to live together with honesty, love and peace, and share
power and leadership. We do not have one central leader, but
instead share the cost of the land and the leadership equally. This is a great time to tour the land and ask
questions about community.

Description:
Our internship program increases the focus on learning
beyond what you would get as a farm supporter. Participants will
enjoy workshops on permaculture and on communication, interpersonal
and community living skills. This is in addition to your daily
participation in community life and hands-on immersion in
permaculture modalities.
Interns will be given tasks related to
sustainable food/fiber production (tropical fruit orchards,
vegetable gardens, greenhouses, animal systems, coconut tree
climbing and harvesting, bamboo and other timber crops, and local
food preparation).
We have classes in non-violent communication, co-counseling and
other modalities that increase emotional awareness and provide
tools for relationships and community living. We are interested in
sharing what we know – helping to educate through experiential
learning.
“My experience at La’akea taught me not only how to survive off the
grid, but how to engage more with my peers for truly meaningful
relationships. I found it fascinating, enlightening, and very
magical. What a beautiful place and amazing group of people to have
worked with. I can’t wait to come back.” Allie Hubert, Summer 2011
