Volunteer: Documentary Filmmaker​/Biographer – Hedonisia Hawaii

Hedonisia Hawaii Eco Feminist Community was started in 2004 in the Hawaiian rainforest. Our community was based on ecofeminism and ecotourism as our social and economic foundations. Though our community was small, the projects we worked on have a global reach. We are idealist and pragmatic seeking entrepreneurial and creative solutions to various challenges we face in the world.

In 2018, Hedonisia Hawaii was destroyed by lava flow from the Kilauea volcanic eruption. Undeterred, we continue work on the many creative projects that were born at our pre‑volcano community.

There is a one‑acre green zone on the property that did not get covered by lava. This is known as a Kipuka in the Hawaiian language. We are preparing to return to our land by slowly planting and landscaping on our Kipuka.

Meanwhile, our community is now virtual. Over five hundred volunteers from around the world have worked on the various projects in the Hedonisia Lava to Lotus Portfolio. We welcome you to be a volunteer on our virtual team choosing a project that resonates with you.
