When I arrived on I AM’s Organic Goddess Sanctuary it was greater than anything I had ever imagined. We were right in the middle of the most beautiful, green, luscious land. All these huge trees, beautiful birds chirping. Our bus is open air so it feels as if your landing right in the middle of nature. I AM is the kindest lady who was wonderful to get to know. She made us feel so comfortable and treated us as though we were family. We felt so at home. The experience is incredible. We were given fresh fruit smoothies from her papaya trees. Also, we rubbed fresh aloe on our skin and it was so healing. The farm and area surrounding it really are so indescribable. It was breathtaking and unlike anything I had ever seen. She took us to a local market with all kinds of wonderful organic foods and crafts. She dropped us off at a black sand beach which was amazing. The sand was black from the volcano. Overall, just such an amazing place to be and experience. This farm worked out greater than I could imagine. It was perfect.

Staying at I Am’s sanctuary was a beautiful experience. I am so grateful for the lush accommodations, abundance of fruit, and kindness of I Am.
The accommodations are the nicest I have come into contact with on the Big Island and at a fair trade! Plenty of fruit, cool farm animals and beautiful land.
I had fun planting fruit trees, learning about Permaculture, and communing with the land.
Work-Trading at I AM’s Goddess Sanctuary was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it!
Love,

Aloha, I am Carl Raw Ross. I was able to experience the goddess sanctuary while spending time on the Big Island of Hawaii. What a a refreshing treat to be deep in the Puna jungle with no fire ants, mosquitoes or soggy rainfalls. Apparently it is not as hard as I thought to facilitate heaven on earth. I think this is one of the most well set up places on this side of the island. I stayed in the tour bus, rested well, kept dry, and was able to work hard, heal on all levels and appreciate my days here. My favorite fruit here was by far rollinia :). Mahalo Aina.

I AM Organic Goddess Sanctuary is absolutely amazing. The pictures on the WWOOF website don’t do it justice. Everything is so green and alive. The noises of the birds and frogs make the atmosphere that much better. She provided a tour bus for us that is so perfect. It is so spacious and has all screened windows that are open, so it feels like you are sleeping in the middle of the jungle. I AM is an amazing host. I don’t think we could have asked for a better fit!
