Our Center Facilities

Our 9.3 acres of agricultural jungle land has over 200 fruit trees, where we provide direct hands-on sustainability education to students on how to grow their own food and live sustainably. Our facilities can house 24-27 students, with a community kitchen, dining room, ceremonial fireplace and a large meeting space for educational workshops and classes. We are currently awaiting permitting for the expansion of our facilities and realizing an amazing opportunity for recovery from a flood, a natural disaster that is bringing blessings for the functionality of this school for the students by being able to build back bigger and better.

Sustainability Education

Our online and hands-on sustainability training and immersion into a community lifestyle, based on Hawaiian Aloha Spirit and universal indigenous wisdom, helps students build a healthy future for their communities and the planet. Training includes skills in these 8 major areas: Spirituality,  Community Living, Agriculture and Environment, Health and Wellness, Personal Development, Life Skills, Economics and Entrepreneurship, Arts and Culture .
