Blessingway ceremonies
Imagine a circle of close family and friends honoring your passage to motherhood with laughter, ritual and blessings…imagine carrying that love with you as you birth your baby into the world.
What is a Blessingway?
These non-denominational rituals, usually organized and planned by a close friend or family member of the pregnant mother, are designed to prepare women for the spiritual and emotional work of labor and motherhood, and are not your typical baby showers.
Instead, those gathered create ritual space together to honor the extraordinary journey that this new mother is about to take. The love and support that she receives during her ceremony will be a gift that she carries with her throughout her labor and into her new role of mother.
No two Blessingways will be the same, and regardless of your religious or spiritual belief, or even if you claim no faith or spiritual practice at all, a Blessingway can be created to deepen your connection to this powerful transition to motherhood.
We are available to guide Blessingway organizers as you:
- brainstorm Blessingway themes
- plan and write rituals
- organize activities such as belly casting, henna, massage and footbaths
- coordinate gifts for the mother-to-be
We also:
- assist in food planning and preparation, and provide referrals to local caterers
- offer coaching and support for those leading the ritual itself
Contact us to learn more about how we can collaborate with you to create a powerful ritual to honor the special mother-to-be in your life.
