A Great Day Learning Laau Lapaau (Traditional Hawaiian Medicine) with Noeau

Posted on October 1, 2010 by | Leave a comment

By all accounts, the Laau Lapaau class on Saturday, September 25th with Pamela Noeau Day was fabulous! About 20 people came to Star Seed Ranch to learn the basics of traditional Hawaiian medicine. The class took a walk with Noeau and she pointed out common plants that have medicinal uses. The class was hands on, everyone got to make a laau preparation. I was the lucky recipient of a jar of medicine from my friend Susan Cox! Special thanks to Pamela Noeau Day and to Star Seed Ranch for making the magic happen.

Cracking kukui and then grinding and roasting.

Craig Elevitch, Sophia Bowart and Neil Logan taught a great class at Mohala Lehua Farm on Sunday, September 26th. The class was a fundraiser for the Hawaii Homegrown Food Network. If you missed the class, Craig has put together a great publication called a Start Up Guide for an Organic Self-Reliance Garden. You can also contact Craig and get put on the list to be contacted next time he holds a class.
