About La'akea:
We are are a small, family style, egalitarian, intentional permaculture 
community on the big island of Hawai'i. Come join us for a deep dive 
training in our vibrant community lifestyle!  We have successfully lived 
together for 20 years.
We are a committed group of people working together closely as a means 
to health, relationship vitality, economic stability, personal and 
spiritual growth.
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.
