Surround yourself with a circle of women who support you exactly where you are.
What is a Mother Blessing?
A Mother Blessing is a ceremony where a circle of women come together to show support for an expectant mother as she prepares for her journey through birth.
A Mother Blessing is a special ceremony focused on the mother, where she will be empowered, nourished, pampered and supported by her nearest friends.
A Mother Blessing can be for a first time mother as well as for a mother of many children.
Unlike a baby shower, where the focus is on gifts for the baby, the focus of a Mother Blessing is about nurturing the mother and celebrating motherhood. It is a unique way to honor the mother-to-be, by sharing stories, friendship and support.

What happens at a Mother Blessing?
The beautiful thing about a Mother Blessing ceremony is that the focus is on the mother. The events at each ceremony will be unique to what will best invigorate that mother. The suggestions here are a beginning to what will be the framework of your Mother Blessing.

Beads & NecklaceAttendees are asked to bring a bead that has significant meaning related to her love and support for the birthing woman. During the ceremony, the beads are strung onto a necklace for the birthing woman to wear prenatally or during the birth.
|
Prayer or Affirmation FlagAttendees are asked to paint a special prayer or affirmation onto a flag for the birthing woman to derive strength and support, prenatally and during the birth

A Candle and StringAttendees are each given a string around her wrist that will remind her of the impending birth as well as a candle to light when she gets word that the mother is in labor.

It is intended that the mother-to-be leaves bursting full of love, strength, confidence, and belief in the ability of her body to birth her baby.
