Mother Blessings
A Mother Blessing Ceremony is an event that creates space to honour, support and celebrate a woman's sacred journey into motherhood, with the focus on her, rather than a conventional baby shower where the focus is on the baby.
A Mother Blessing Ceremony involves the mother to be gathering with her close female companions at home, outside in nature, or it can even be facilitated via Zoom. We all come together in circle to honour the mother physically and spiritually.
Some common activities during a Mother Blessing Ceremony would be:
Sharing of readings, positive birth stories, poems, written words of support and wishes for mother and baby
Singing together
Giving massage or a foot bath or brushing the hair of the mama to be
Making a flower crown together for the mama to be
Belly painting/henna
A ball of cord gets passed around the circle and tied round each woman's wrist. The cord is then cut but kept on everyone’s wrists so that they hold the mama to be in their minds and will only take the cord off once the baby is born
Everyone is given a candle to take home and light and send their well wishes during the labour or everyone is asked to bring their own candle
Crafting/painting some birth affirmations to be hung up at the birth
Each guest brings a bead to make a necklace or another object for the mama to be. This is for her to have during labour and beyond so she will remember she can always call upon her friends love and support through this treasure
Everyone brings a special item to create a nurturing altar space at home for the mama to be to sit and feel held and empowered during her pregnancy, labour and early motherhood
Once the ceremony is finished people would then feast together. Everyone is asked to each bring a dish.
Ceremonies last roughly 3 hours, I would be there for 4 hours to help set up and pack away. If you would like me to organise and facilitate your Mother Blessing Ceremony then we would have an initial meeting to plan what you would like. We can tailor the event to suit you and your group. You would then send me the emails or phone numbers of everyone you would like to invite and I would take care of the rest. I would get the group together and let everyone know what to bring. I would then facilitate the women in your life to support you, hold you and celebrate you and your transition into motherhood.
I cover the whole of Yorkshire including Leeds, Harrogate, York, Bradford and the surrounding areas.
