Description: Come join us for a tour of our community!  Allow Aniko, one of our members, to walk you around the land, including our organic gardens, alternative building methods, off grid solar system, animals and orchards.

We are a committed group of people working together closely in community, on our 24 acre 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.

Let us know if you are coming.  Thanks!  call Aniko at 214-4601

“I came here to learn about growing things, and what I really learned about was growing people.” – Emily ’09

More information:
www.permaculture-hawaii.com
Contact:
tracy@permaculture-hawaii.com   808-443-4076

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
