Mother's Closing

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, 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, group intention and mother honouring  together.

*It will be easier if busy babies above 6mo can stay with a caregiver during this intentional time. Please contact me if this is a problem. I am keeping it short so that it can be easier for mom to have time away. We will meet for a picnic lunch with our families after the event to have space for free discussion and connection.
