Hedonisia Hawaii EcoFeminist Internship

Why choose Hedonisia Hawaii EcoFeminist Internship?

Hedonisia Hawaii was a socially progressive community with a quadruple bottom line! People, Planet, Profit and Pleasure! We believe that it is possible make a living working for a better planet and to have fun doing it.

Sadly, Hedonisia was destroyed in the 2018 Kilauea volcano eruption. We are trying to rebuild but the going is slow.

Our community was 4 acres of lush rainforest. We have been welcoming 'volun-tourists' from around the world since 2004. We invite you to participate in our rebuilding effort.

One-of-a-kind

I came to Hedonisia in 2015 right after I finished my two-year Peace Corps service in Namibia. Moving to Hawaii was something I had wanted to do for a while, and I was attracted to this internship because the community's level of organization stood out as I was considering programs in the area. Within minutes of talking to the community director for the first time, I was surprised to connect with him over having traveled to Zimbabwe. Mojo has high expectations from participants in his internship program here, but if you are a good communicator and hold yourself to a high standard of work and ethics, you will have the opportunity to learn much from him and your fellow community members for the atmosphere fosters the sharing/exchange of information. Over my time at "Hedo" I have learned web editing, tropical plant propagation, trail maintenance, building repair, facility maintenance, closed-loop systems, business management, and have had the opportunity to practice numerous foreign languages with guests, volunteers and interns. I highly recommend this program whether you are wanting to come to Hawaii for a few months, or wanting to move here like I did!
