Celebrating the Mother-to-be.
Celebrating the Mother-to-be
For her power. Her beauty. Her magic. Her vulnerability. Herself.
A mother blessing is a ceremony inspired by an ancient Navajo ceremony called a blessing way. It is held to prepare a mother-to-be for her upcoming birth journey—to shower her with love, support and encouragement. It is a beautiful and intimate alternative to a baby shower, with the focus being on celebrating the mother, while she sits amongst women dear to her heart.
There are usually different stages we go through during a ceremony:
The first part is about welcoming the guest and setting the intention for the circle while creating a loving and safe space for the mama.
Then it is about letting go of fears and providing words of wisdom and encouragement.
Then we focus on honouring the mum-to-be through a few activities – including poetry reading, birth vision board, and guided meditation (these can be adjusted by the mama, so we do something that is aligned with her values, wants and needs, as well as something she is comfortable with).
Then we complete the ceremony (with a red thread circle and gifts).
We finish by sharing some beautiful food (shared plates).
