Community Outreach

Makoa Quest’s Community Outreach is the heartbeat of our mission. Our outreach efforts are rooted in reciprocity, cultural integrity, and collective restoration.

Roots & Renewal Program

Our primary Community Outreach initiative is the Roots and Renewal program, a two-day monthly gathering held at our living classroom and agroforestry sanctuary in Haiku. This immersive event brings together residents, cultural practitioners, farmers, and volunteers to engage in meaningful land-based work, ceremony, and shared learning. It is a space where restoration of the land becomes a mirror for restoring ourselves and our relationships to place.

Re-Storying & Re-Storing Women’s Program

Our newest Community Outreach initiative is the Re-Storying and Re-Storing Women's Circle, a monthly gathering held at our living classroom and agroforestry sanctuary in Haiku—offered in partnership with Allison Joseph of NewStories. Emerging from the profound recognition that we cannot engage in Re-Storying—of ourselves, our communities, our futures—without Re-Storing our relationship to the Earth, this transformative program brings together women seeking healing, connection, and authentic transformation to alter the lens through which they see themselves, their relationships, and their challenges. Through ceremony, story work, somatic practices, and land-based healing, women support one another in designing new stories, patterns and structures that create tangible, meaningful change—weaving together a path toward personal and collective wholeness where healing our stories and connecting with the land becomes a mirror for restoring ourselves and our relationships to place.

We believe that healing the land goes hand in hand with uplifting the people who call it home.

Whether through teaching, feeding, planting, or simply showing up for one another, we are building the village it takes to care for both ʻāina and ʻohana. Through Roots and Renewal and other partnerships with schools, local organizations, and kūpuna, we co-create experiences that foster environmental stewardship, cultural revitalization, and intergenerational connection.

From youth mentorship and breathwork to syntropic agriculture and communal meals, our outreach efforts are designed to empower Maui’s people to be active participants in building a resilient and culturally grounded future.
