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.
