Location: Haiku Maui, Hawaii
|
Haiku is a hidden treasure, filled with secret bamboo forests, eclectic art, and a nice relaxed island vibe. Nestled in Maui, the second largest Hawaiian island, beloved for its world-famous beaches, the sacred Iao Valley, views of migrating humpback whales (during winter months), farm-to-table cuisine and the magnificent sunrise and sunset from Haleakala. It’s not surprising Maui has been voted "Best Island in the U.S." by Condé Nast Traveler readers for more than 20 years. |

Our hosts are located 13 miles from the Kahului International Airport. An Uber from the Airport is typically $30.

We've come a long ways since our first domes which were made of clay bricks and cinder blocks. Now we'll teach you how to build your own dome home with AirCrete - an amazing material that you can make yourself almost as easy as making pancake batter. Learn to build a low-cost dome home that is fireproof, termite proof, rot proof, insulated, eco friendly, non toxic, and durable against the forces of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.
*Please Note: During the 10-day workshop, we build a basic dome structure as depicted in the picture above. This does not include plumbing, electrical, or finished flooring. We do our best to complete the AirCrete dome during the workshop; however, there is no guarantee of completion. Unexpected obstacles like weather conditions, for example, may prevent the dome’s completion.

Accommodations
Lodging: The Wisdom Center for Autism offers two options for on-site accommodations:
1. Bring your own camping gear: $25 Per Night
2. Tent, Inflatable Mattress: $35 Per Night
All those who stay on the land will have access to showers, compost toilets, fire area, and an outdoor camp kitchen to fix up breakfast and dinner.
*Note Maui is a tropical paradise and it can rain at the build site so please bring rain jackets and boots :).
There are also many Airbnb, hotel and resort options nearby.
Note that Maui is a very touristic area, please book in advance as accommodations tend to be fully booked during the high season.
Meals: Breakfast and Dinner are on your own and Lunch will be available everyday for $15 per person. An outdoor kitchenette is available for campers to cook their breakfast, lunch, and dinner onsite.
We recommend staying on the land during the workshop rather than finding your own off-site accommodations. Staying together allows for richer community building and experiences to be enjoyed together. For those wanting accommodations other than a camping option look into Airbnbs, Haiku Plantation Inn, and Hunter Hale.
