Imiloa Institute

An inter-continental institute for the education and advancement of human beings

Core Values

We believe that our core values aren’t aspirational or what we hope to be. Our core values are who we are at Imiloa when we’re at our very best.

At Imiloa Institute, after over five years in the business of serving thousands of transformed guests and hundreds of educators, impact catalysts, and transformational leaders, we’ve learned that what is at our core is actually what strengthens the vision, mission, team, and client success.

Our core — who and why we are, values, behaviors, customers — animate the experience of Imiloa and our thirty-year BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) of transforming the lives of 1 billion people on the planet in nature.

If you’re thinking of visiting us, partnering with us, or hosting with us, we invite you to review our core and see if it resonates with yours. Feel free to email us and tell us about it, too. We love hearing from our people: impact@imiloainstitute.com

We believe that together, through a spirit of service and a posture of learning, we can catalyze the social transformation of the planet. Imiloa is an intercontinental institute for the education and advancement of human beings.

We are an “institute” because we recognize that the transformation happening at Imiloa is extending beyond our treasured guests — it includes our team, our generous providers, investors, and the communities Imiloa calls home.

  1. We tell the truth.
  2. We look at problems as opportunities.
  3. We move with a sense of urgency, but we don't rush.
  4. We treat our land as an equal stakeholder when we make operational decisions.
  5. We take care of each other. (“If I win, you win.”)
  6. We create a joyful environment.
  7. We sell and share about Imiloa by attraction instead of promotion.

Our Purpose & Strategy

Imiloa creates the experience of home with transformational experiences in nature, inviting human beings to awaken their consciousness in service to themselves and the planet.

Our strategy can best be described in a visual. See below.

Imiloa features unspeakable moments in nature, nourishing gourmet plant-based cuisine and team members that serve endlessly and feel so familiar, like home.

Our Brand Promise

As a global community eco-system focusing on education, mentorship, and service, Imiloa is at the intersection of creativity, imagination, and transformation.

If, as a host, guest, or partner, you feel your experience with us has fallen short with the service and transformation we offer, please email us at: core@imiloainstitute.com and tell us how we can make it up to you. We promise to do what it takes to earn your trust.
