The Simmer Pot: Memories, Medicine & the Lineage of Healing with Mama Moon

Join us for The Simmer Pot: Memories, Medicine, and the Lineage of Healing with author Anisha "Mama Moon" Newbill Wednesday, February 11th at 7pm in the Silver Spring Civic Building.

This is not only a book about medicine; it is a book about memory, about the wisdom that runs in the blood. It is the quiet knowledge that tells you how to cool a fever, how to clear a congested chest, and what to brew when the body feels weak. It is an inheritance passed down not in textbooks, but in the rhythm of daily life—in kitchens, in whispered reassurances, and in the steadfast certainty of a grandmother’s hands. It's about family and the tapestry that is known as healing.
