The Hāmākua Initiative: A 30-Day Residency in Regenerative Living

The 30-Day Hāmākua Initiative is an immersive residency at Hāmākua Sanctuary on Hawai‘i Island’s Hāmākua Coast. Designed for those ready to slow down and live differently for a season, this experience invites residents into a steady rhythm of community living, land stewardship, and personal integration. Rather than following a fixed schedule, life unfolds organically through shared responsibility, presence, and care.

During the residency, participants will:

Live in a small, intentional community (max 6 residents)

Share daily meals prepared together from garden and local ingredients

Participate in land stewardship, gardening, and care for shared spaces

Practice daily meditation or grounding practices

Engage in honest conversation, reflection, and relational practices

Receive optional one-on-one guidance and support

Experience organic ceremonies and meaningful group moments

Allow nervous systems to settle and new rhythms to take root

This residency is best suited for those seeking integration rather than intensity—time enough for belonging to form, habits to soften, and the experience to be lived rather than rushed.
