The practice of celebrating pregnancy and the birth of a new mother
transcends almost all human cultures. Different than a baby shower which
focuses on the baby, a Blessingway ceremony helps a woman prepare
mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for labor, birth, and motherhood.
During a Blessingway the mother-to-be is surrounded by the most important
women in her life who help to create a sacred space where she gains a sense
of her feminine power and confidence. The Blessingway ceremony allows
the woman to open to her instinctive abilities which will guide her through
childbirth and her new role as Mother.
Blessingways can be personalized based on your beliefs and spiritual
practice. They can be elaborate including a variety of components or simple
including just a few. During the ceremony the mother-to-be can be
pampered with a massage, honored with a belly cast, or decorated with a
henna design on her beautiful belly. Guests can participate in inspirational
story-telling, make a special bracelet for mother or baby, or present her with
special gifts. A Blessingway can be performed indoors or outdoors.
To assist you in planning this special celebration for a woman in your life, I
provide you a step by step guide with a variety of ideas and suggestions to
help you personalize this ceremony and make it a memorable one. If desired,
I am also available to facilitate/co-facilitate a Blessingway for you and your
closest friends.
