Coconut Oil & Coconut Candy Workshop on October 8th and October 29th!

Join us in celebrating the CHamoru culture with our coconut oil workshop and learn from our cultural practitioners of this age-old practice. The process called “Mamatika” in CHamoru was just one of the many ways Ancient CHamoru society depended on the coconut tree or trongkon niyok which is found in abundance throughout the Pacific. Coconut oil is a valuable resource that is still used today in CHamoru cuisine, bath and body products, and as medicine for numerous ailments. Attendees will also get to take home a sample bottle of coconut oil of their very own.

Learn to live off the land the CHamoru way, have fun on an outdoor cultural adventure experience, and enjoy a delicious mini Fiesta Style BBQ Plate!
