What is a Mother Blessing?
Mother Blessings--a tribal tradition making a comeback as women realize something has been lost in the sterility, privitization, and medicalization of birth and they want it back. Sacred Sisterhood celebrating and nourishing a mother as she prepares for her upcoming right of passage.

So, are all mother blessings the same? Yes, and no. A mother blessing is a time of sisterhood and pouring nurture and love on a mother as she gets ready to birth her baby--preparation for her rite of passage into motherhood again. There are certain elements that most or all mother blessings are sure to include, but other than that, they are as unique as the mother for whom they are thrown. :)
We can incorporate as many or as few rituals and crafts and things to do as you 1) want and 2) can afford. You can throw a generous mother blessing where each guest leaves as "showered" with nurture as you do, or, just as typically, you can throw one where the sole focus is that these women all come with offerings to bless you and they go away almost empty handed but just as blessed. Both ways are proper etiquette, but the latter is actually most common, so you should be good if you are working with a tight budget. :)
You want to be sure to only invite those women who fill you with peace and joy without presenting drama or negativity, especially as this may be your sacred birth space.
Three way to keep costs down is to limit the activities, use what you have, and procure the items needed yourself, if you can. However, if you can't, or are too busy or tired, I am pleased to help in this way.
I would like to get together with you to discuss the activities and rituals, should you desire to go forward with this. There I will give you a list of items to acquire--many of which you may already have! We will then decide on the women you would like present, the form of invitations, the decor, the rituals that are meaningful to you, the activities that will draw forth each woman's creativity, and what types of pampering make you feel nourished and refreshed. Contact me asap to schedule your consultation!
Be blessed, hydrated, rested, and spiritually nourished as you soak in this information and continue to work forward to your Birthing Day!
