About the work trade program

Words from your host:

“We are thrilled to announce work-trade openings in various departments at KMEC Hawaii. Join our team in roles like Permaculture Specialist, Head Chef, Grounds/Maintenance, Marketing/Admin, and Housekeeping. For a term of 2-6 months, work 30 hours a week with an attitude of accountability and leadership.

Imagine finding fulfillment by living a life of seva (“service”) for your community and land, and regularly nourishing your body with organic medicine straight from the garden, centering your mind with yoga and other forms of movement meditation, and awakening your soul through meditation and communion with the divine. Does this possible life energize and excite you? If so, then we are excited to invite you to the Kirpal Meditation & Ecological Center in the magical land of Big Island, Hawaii!
