✨Mother’s Blessing✨
The longer I work in this field, the more I come to realise that I am here to honour mothers.
To honour your journey to motherhood, to walk alongside you and to support you through connection and creativity. To honour where you are now and meet you there, to hold space and illuminate the path to where you want to be.
Connection is fundamental to being human. We crave connections at turbulent times in our lives, and this rite of passage is no exception.
There is no more pure form of creativity than creation. You are growing another human, another soul inside you. Shining a light on your creative force through beautiful and gently crafted rituals feels like a calling to me.
Celebrating your rite of passage with a Mother’s Blessing treats it with the reverence it deserves. It honours you and your journey, gathering your closest people to surround and support you on your path.
Blessings put you in the centre of the celebration, it is your journey we celebrate, not your baby’s. Because you are the centre of this, the star of the show, the one who is walking your own path, but in need of support and love.
With thanks to the gorgeous mama in these photos. We decorated her bump, connected with her nearest and dearest, and gathered in circle for her ceremony that included a guided meditation, hand tying and salt bowl, where each of us offered kind words and physical offerings. Salts were taken away with each guest to remember the day, as well as matching hand henna.
Is this something you would consider for your pregnancy? Or have you had your baby, did you mark your journey with any rituals or ceremony? Let me know in the comments bellow.
