Hedonisia Hawaii After the Eruption
The 2018 Kilauea volcano eruption destroyed Hedonisia Hawaii Eco-community. Our land is 75% covered by lava. Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of the volcano, is a female deity. We appreciate the great irony that the Goddess Pele chose to destroy an ecofeminist community supporting female empowerment.
At our pre-volcano community, we showed that it is possible to make a living with pleasure and purpose We welcomed EcoTourists, Social Entrepreneurs, Writers, Techies, & other Creatives to work on the web and book projects that made our community such a unique place.
There is a Hawaiian saying: "Ukuli'i ka pua, onaona I ka mau'u" (tiny is the flower, yet it scents the grasses all around it). It translates to 'small things can have a great influence'.
Moving forward, we are working on options to rebirth Hedonisia into a smaller, more focussed micro-community and a larger online creative community.
1. Post-Volcano Lodging Opportunities
We are still waiting for the government to build road access to our property.
In June 2026 we expect to have legal road access and plan to start hosting volunteer single adults or couples under our Lava Land Camping Option.
2. Hedonisia Hawaii Creative Online Community
- Visit our Hedonisia Lava to Lotu Portfolio, to see the web projects, products and services, that made our community such a unique place in paradise.
- Be a Virtual Volunteer.
3. Follow us on social media
Our hope is to take the story of our Pre-Volcano Community and bring it out to the world. We welcome posts about us on social media.
4. Support our Crowdfund
The Hedonisia Lava to Lotus Crowdfund has been resurrected as we evolve our community post-volcano.
