'Business with Aloha!' Activist Enterprise Workshop
"You have opened my eyes to a world where ideals can thrive inside reality . . ."
Aaron Colantti (Hedonisia Workshop Participant)
Since Hedonisia's humble beginings in 2004 as a vehicle junkyard we have evolved into a Sustainable Community based on Social Enterprise.
We have hosted many travelers and visitors who often ask: "How did you do it?" We did research and realised that there are very few places that offer instruction on how to create either a Sustainable Community or a Social Enterprise Business.
Most people would actually like to work at a job or a business that helps to make the world a little bit better. However, many progressive and caring people see business and capitalism as part of the problem rather than part of the solution to the world's myriad problems. We would beg to differ!
Capitalism and business do not have to be predatory and 'dog eat dog' style. Instead you can make a living and make a difference! Over the past few years a new phrase has come into existence, 'social enterprise'. Social Enterprises are defined as economically viable businesses that also address social or environmental needs.
In response, we decided to offer workshops that use our activist enterprise projects as case histories so that students get an 'insider's education' of how real life social enterprises and sustainable communities work and operate on a day-to-day basis.
