ABOUT

​Hamakua Sanctuary is a community-centered space where nature, spirit, and daily life come together with intention. Through gatherings, workshops, and hands-on learning, we create experiences that nurture growth, belonging, and transformation.

Our work is a living process — felt in quiet moments, shared meals, gentle labor, and deep listening to the land.

A Living Non-Profit,
Rooted in Stewardship

Hamakua Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to nurturing the living relationship between people, nature, and spirit.

​

We serve as an educational ecosystem for the heart — a place where learning happens through connection, service, and aloha. Our programs in regenerative living, cultural preservation, and community well-being are supported through tax-deductible contributions that help this living classroom continue to thrive.

​

Every donation, every act of care, becomes part of the same breath — the one that teaches us how to love this world back to life.
