Blessing Way Ceremony

---

What is a Blessing Way?

A Blessing Way is a ceremony that honors the mother as she transitions from a woman to a mother. It is a ceremony that recognizes that pregnancy and birth are a journey and also a rite of passage for a woman. It is a time where women gather to help usher her into motherhood by celebrating, loving and nurturing her before she gives birth. 

What does the ceremony consist of?

Every ceremony is different because every woman is different. Each ceremony is catered to the pregnant mother's desires and needs. There is always food, love, laughter and a circle of your favorite women.

It typically starts by creating an atmosphere that sets the tone for the ceremony. This is followed by various activities such as the mother being pampered (massage, pedi, etc), positive birth stories, release of fears, prayers, affirmations for mother to focus on during birth, tokens to keep everyone connected until mother has delivered baby, body art, and a host of other things. The ceremony is completed by nourishing the mother with nutritious food.

This ceremony can range from lighthearted and fun to intimate and meaningful as you need it to be. It is whatever the mother needs to help her feel uplifted and at ease for the upcoming birth. 

Take Note

The ceremony should take place in a comfortable setting such as your home or a friend's home.

The best food is when it’s warm nourishing and made from the heart. We encourage asking your favorite person to cook, or ask guests to bring a dish or even order from your favorite restaurant. 

Choose carefully only individuals who will uplift, encourage and strengthen you as this is a special time for you.
