Mama Blessings Ceremony
Mama Blessings are sacred ceremonies. They honour the rite of passage from maiden to mother. As a result, they are a deeply meaningful and heartfelt alternative to a baby shower. A baby shower traditionally focuses on the baby and can be very commercialised. Whereas, Mama Blessings are a beautiful and unique way to honour and nurture the mother-to-be. Surrounded by love, support and sacred rituals; we honour and celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the transformative power of feminine energy.
Together with family, soul sisters and other important women in her life Mama-to-be will be guided through rituals and blessings that celebrate her journey. From heartfelt affirmations to nurturing and pampering, every moment is crafted to uplift her spirit and nourish her soul. Therefore ‘filling her cup’ with strength, confidence and encouragement.
Most importantly, it is also a reminder that she is not alone. But even more than that, it reaches through time and space gracing the lives of all women, both in her lineage and those present, who did not have the opportunity to be honoured on their journeys. The Mama-to-be is held safely during this sacred ceremony. Thus allowing space for any fears to be released and to embrace what’s to come, for rejoicing and for connecting to mothers who have come before her. The intention is to honour and provide the mama-to-be with sisterhood, love, joy, connection and spiritual support.
While Mama Blessings are is inspired by ritual and spirituality, they honour all belief systems. Ceremonies can be tailored to suit individual preferences.
The beauty of this ceremony leaves Mama-to-be:
- Feeling loved and celebrated as Mama approaches the birthing day
- Receiving promises of help before, during and after birth
- Connected to the baby, ancestors and life cycles
- Releasing fears and embracing the newborn
