Dear Hedonisia,
How I love you! Thank you all for being so great. Thank this crater and this land, learning earth magic, and hearing the green sea speak. What a warm, welcoming, wonderful place Baba Mojo has taken on a ship from floating visions to galactic action. Peace! And thanks!

Hi Mojo!
Thank you for a nice stay in the Bamboo Bungalow. I've enjoyed listening to the frogs and being in the jungle. Take care!

Dear Hedonisia,
Thank you so much for all my memories of living in such a positive place... We may sit and stare a lot, but I found myself richer for the experience than I imagine I would have trying to fill all the gaps of time with mindless activity.
There is a much more stable atmosphere here in which to be your own person rather than automatically becoming part of some group. I am truly thankful for that and happy that Hedonisia makes it work. I'll be anxious in time to come see what direction the hostel moves in and hopefully come volunteer again. Thank you all for being a part of my trip here and making it such a good one.
Mahalo. Take care. Aloha.

Lovely Hedonisians,
My time has come to a close here. It has been one of the most eye-opening and beautiful experiences of my life. To meet each of you and share moments of joy, fear, love, uncertainty - all of it has been such a pleasure. I've been contemplating all of the souls I've connected with while here, and everyone has left their mark - no matter how big or small - on my mind, heart, and spirit.
It fills me with immeasurable happiness to know that I have a kooky little jungle family in Puna that loves me for better or worse. I sincerely hope I've left a favorable footprint in all of your hearts and on Hedonisia's spirit... I will always retain what I learned here and take it with me. I'll stay in touch and before long I'll be back for a visit. Take care of yourselves and enjoy this awesome paradise.
With much love for all of you,
Jill - Chicago, IL

Mr. Mojo,
I wanted to take a moment to recognize and give thanks to your parents for bringing to the earth such an amazing soul and wonderful friend. Thank you for all your love and support during my floater hippie days...and also being a supportive and loving ear for the more challenging times.
You create a very safe and awe inspiring environment for the unknowing traveler. My experience at Hedo is what made me feel I needed to be on the Big Island during my pregnancy. I had wonderful and awakening times on my journeys here. Thank you so much for all the love and support and for the wonderful space you created!
Love always,
Rachel, Baby Sophia & Buck (Kauai)

Dearest Mojo,
A note of thanks for all the fun and beauty of Hedonisia - as well as the awesome opportunity to be of science and use my gifts! I'm grateful and look forward to the next adventure to the greater Puna. I'll leave you with these goodies from Burning Man for your contemplation, and to orient you a bit for when you make it next year!
Bless & Bliss!
Much love - Mahalo! xoxo

To all the wonderful Hedonisians,
We had a spectacular visit to Hawaii & it was enhanced by each one of you. Thanks for being so welcoming & making us feel a part of this community. It was great to get to know everyone & hear so many different stories. We've been inspired to keep traveling & hope to see you again along the way. Let us know if you're ever on the mainland!
Peace & Love,

Hedonisia,
Thank you all for allowing me into your home and lives. I lay down last night and realized things in that bliss before sleep comes. I have chosen to journey on and set out to catch the day's first bus. I'm sorry to leave suddenly, 'I don't know why, you say goodbye - I say hello' and I hope our paths cross again. I've lightened my backpack considerably and I hope someone will use these things. You have something wonderful here in a magical place. Thank you for showing me.
With love,
Dave

2015 Intern Mary, 20, Boston MA - I came to Hedonisia Hawaii in April 2015, and stayed here as a residential intern for 3 months. I chose to apply to the program because as a business major, I felt that this experience would broaden my work experiences while also qualifying me with hands on business management experience, in an environmentally conscious environment. This experience was a milestone for me, and I would absolutely recommend applying!
