Mama Blessing Ceremony (Alternative to Baby Shower)
This ceremony is a gathering of (usually) women of your friends circles and relatives, who come together to honor and celebrate your journey into motherhood. It does differ however to a traditional baby shower as the focus is on the pregnant woman and giving her the strength, love and encouragement, rather than being focused on the baby and the presents.
This ceremony reflects the Navajo specifically, and their medicine wheel, from which the Blessing Way is derived.
Every single ceremony is different and tailored to the mother’s desires and what she would like to gain from it. This intimate personal ceremony can happen in your own home or in a location of your choice.
A Mama Blessing helps mark a powerful transition in a woman’s life and prepare her mind, body and spirit for leaping into the unknown.
