Pre and Postpartum Mothers' Circle - July + Mother’s Closing

This month we will be holding a Mother's Closing.  This is a special event that I intend to offer at least once a year for the mothers in our community. See details below:

Many  cultures around the world practice forms  of celebrating the mother  after she has given birth to her child. The  most well known ritual in  birthwork circles is the closing of the bones  ceremony practiced in  Mexico. In North America, we tend to celebrate the  child’s arrival  and  forget the mother. This community celebration aims to bring back  Mother Honouring in our communities in a way that is pertinent to our culture and time. The idea of “closing” speaks to the mother opening her   body and spirit to bring the baby on Earth. As a community we will honour and bless her. Mother's will have an opportunity to share about their journey within a loving container. We will pray that she be closed, healed and whole and thank her for the work she is doing and will do in raising the child. The feeling afterwards is of fullness, feeling seen, nourishment and groundedness on all levels. This can be done anytime  after birth, even if your child is a grown adult! Birthworkers wanting  to learn the ceremony are also welcome to attend. We will explore group energy healing and prayer, and mother honouring  together.

Please let me know if your would like to experience the closing
