The Hāmākua Initiative: A 90-Day Stewardship Residency in Regenerative Living
With Ryan "Hekili" — Founder and Steward, Yasmin — Operations and Embodied Care and Andrea — Soul Guide and Physician
Package Dates
The 90-Day Hāmākua Initiative is a season-long residency at Hāmākua Sanctuary for those ready to step into deeper responsibility, contribution, and embodied regenerative living. Over three months on the Hāmākua Coast, participants move beyond arrival and integration into stewardship—becoming an active part of the land, the community, and its evolving rhythms.
During the residency, participants will:
Live as part of a committed, intentional community (maximum 6 residents)
Share daily meals and ongoing responsibility for the shared home
Participate consistently in regenerative land stewardship and projects
Engage in daily grounding, reflection, and relational practices
Develop emotional intelligence, presence, and leadership through lived experience
Receive ongoing one-on-one guidance and mentorship
Take part in deeper ceremonies and seasonal cycles as they unfold
Embody regenerative values through sustained practice and contribution
This residency is designed for those in transition or commitment—people ready to live differently long enough for responsibility, belonging, and regenerative leadership to take root and carry forward beyond the Sanctuary.
