Celebrate Children’s Day with Stories, Tradition, and Healing Wisdom
Join us for the Children’s Day Festival—and very especially for a reading by Roni Capin from her acclaimed Remedios de mi Nana.
In this beloved work, Capin brings to life the voices of traditional Hispanic grandmothers, whose knowledge of healing—passed down through generations—blends the practical and the poetic. These are remedies not only for coughs, colds, and everyday ailments, but for the spirit as well: a world of herbal infusions, kitchen cures, and time-honored advice rooted in care, memory, and community.
At a moment when modern medicine can feel costly, confusing, or impersonal, this gathering offers something different—a return to the enduring wisdom of the past, where healing begins at home a,nd knowledge is shared across generations.
Come listen, learn, and celebrate a rich cultural tradition that continues to nourish both body and soul.
