About Hawaii Eco Retreat:

Hawaii Eco Retreat (HER) is an intentional community and retreat center located on the Big Island in the Puna district of Hawai’i, which has fostered connections among individuals since its inception in August 2021. The retreat was established to uplift the consciousness of humanity, creating a supportive environment where personal growth and development are prioritized. HER has guided several hundred individuals through transformative experiences, allowing them to connect deeply with themselves, the land, and one another. The community’s inclusive approach welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, creating a rich tapestry of shared experiences and learning opportunities.

Positioned in a picturesque setting, Hawaii Eco Retreat is bordered by natural beauty, with a volcanic hot spring to the west and the iconic Kehena black sand beach to the east. Participants are encouraged to explore the breathtaking landscape, including the nearby Volcanoes National Park and lush rainforest waterfalls in Hilo. The retreat promotes an ethos of ecological harmony, emphasizing sustainable practices and local consumption. Community events play an essential role in fostering connections among members through activities such as Sunday Funday, which features song circles, ecstatic dance, and communal drumming by the beach, allowing participants to experience the vibrant pulse of community life.

The community operates based on a set of values that emphasize self-responsibility, integrity, and a commitment to personal and collective growth. Members engage in various practices that facilitate healing and connection, from group meals and community projects to workshops led by skilled facilitators. The size of the community and its programs allow for personalized experiences, with stays ranging from a few days to six months and various retreats designed to cater to individual needs. By participating in this environment, individuals not only contribute to the operational flow of the community but also embark on a journey of self-discovery, connection, and empowerment, aligning with the mission of cultivating awareness and well-being in a beautiful natural setting.
