Parent blessingway ceremonies

A baby is coming! Congratulations! Parenthood is one of the well-traveled paths to personal and spiritual development, and it catches many of us by surprise.

Today, we have a chance to step back in time and revive the old traditions of marking the transition from person to parent. You will be leaving behind yourself as a single entity and emerging as a person who is responsible for, and attached to, another creation. You are forever changed, and you’ll be prepared for the task.

Such a responsibility to tend to our creation can start with a blessingway ceremony. Each ceremony is created uniquely for the parent(s) and generally lasts just over an hour. Ceremonies can be small, with just the parent/s-to-be, or in community (10 or fewer guests is ideal). Each ceremony will begin with opening sacred space and a brief energy clearing, and will include stepping through a threshold to mark your new status. The rest of the itinerary is co-created with you and me. The options are limitless and several options to start your inspiration are:

• blessings from your beloveds

• readings

• art making

• guided meditation

• rite of the womb ceremony

• commitments of support

• creating ceremonial burn-bundles for carrying prayers

• intention ceremony

• flower or stone ceremony from your beloveds

• altar creation with brought items to use during the birth or when you meet your baby

Pricing is determined by the length, activities, and location of the ceremony, and generally ranges from $150-$500. I will provide you with a detailed quote after we determine the elements of the ceremony. Please inquire here if you’d like to reserve your date and begin planning this beautiful transition.
