About the event
This month we will be holding a Mother's Closing. This is a special event that I intend to offer three times 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, 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.
Please let me know if your would like to experience the closing
