What we do

HIVE Hawaii is based in a coastal neighborhood called Kalapana Seaview Estates that is the closest thing to an ad hoc ecovillage we have ever found. Most of the 100s of homes in our neighborhood are off-grid (we all depend on rainwater catchment for our water) and there is a lot of food growing nearby including permaculture homesteads with food forests.

Our location is 1.5 miles to the best beach in the area and 8 miles to a free volcanic hot spring on the beach. There are conscious events happening in this area every day making it feel almost like being at a transformational festival all year long. You can walk to multiple venues from our location including Kalani- the birthplace of ecstatic dance- where we dance at least once a week in a sacred ceremony of healing connection. We have at least 4 ecstatic dances in the region every week (sometimes more).

Currently HIVE consists of a small property with a multi-family dwelling  with large gathering space for events/groups, the property includes:

~ 2 one-bedroom units
~ a 2-bedroom unit that has one room open
~ a 3-bedroom unit that can be rented by one family or shared

HIVE Hawaii has primarily accommodated short-term residents on-site in the past, but we are looking to expand with longer term residents starting Spring 2024.

We are also surrounded by many long-term community members who comprise our leadership team and network of practitioners. We host programs and services onsite focused on healing, and have a co-working space for people who work remotely to work together. We have had pop-up restaurants onsite, and dream of eventually having a little cafe become part of our coworking space.

Our Vision

HIVE Hawaii curates Healing Inspiring Village Experiences as a social permaculture hub and incubator for cocreative culture we support co-living, co-working, and co-healing to actualize a culture of caring and sharing. We are waking up together in paradise.
