MOTHER BLESSING CEREMONY
A moment to celebrate the mother in her journey. Everyone knows what a baby shower is, this has been quite a common celebration during pregnancy in the recent years. Although I think is great to celebrate the baby, often mother’s wellbeing and power is not recognised nor celebrated. It’s time to make a change.
During pregnancy and birth, a new mother is going through a lot of changes in her body, mind and spirit; when these changes are seen and aknowledged by her closer community with grace and support, this passage in the mother’s life can be easier and more positive.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A MOTHER BLESSING?
Every woman is different, therefore every ceremony will reflect the personality of the mother and her circle of closer people. Generally a ceremony can last from a couple of hours to a full day, it can be arranged in your home or in a special location of your choice. During this time together there will be activities that you have chosen in advance if you wish to or chosen by your guests if you are more into surprises. Usually there will be a welcome moment for you and your guest, then we will open the circle and during this time we will arrange the activities and will have some share moments (reflections, poetry, songs, meditations, and more). Finally we will close the circle. Some people love to have a snack or finger food with tea afterwards.
