Blessing ceremonies…
Gathering amongst your favourite people is a wonderful way to feel supported as you transition from one point in your life to another.
Whether it is your journey through pregnancy, honouring yourself through your fertility journey, holding space for new parents or surrogates; there is always time & space to be loved & nurtured by your most trusted circle.
Traditionally practiced by many cultures all around the world, the art of gathering in circle is powerful & can provide deep connection in a time of vulnerability.

What does a circle involve?
As your favourite people gather together, we will guide one another into a sacred safe space allowing opportunity for everyone to feel comfortable & open to share their energy within an intimate setting.
How I facilitate circles;
Gather everyone around in circle
Organic foot bath / hand massage for the host
Open circle by cleansing the space
Welcome, explain the blessing/circle process, share the intention set by the host/purpose of the gathering & commence the opening of the circle.
Allowing everyone the option to introduce themselves and share kind words for the mother/person we are celebrating.
Guided meditation is a beautiful inclusion to allow everyone the opportunity to find calm amongst a group & feel grounded before commencing rituals.
Rituals focused on positive loving energy commence; you can choose what feels good for you
eg. Making a bead necklace for the host to wear during birth or fertility journey, candle blessing, red thread bracelet, poem or positive story sharing & affirmations.
Closing the circle space with words of gratitude.
approx 1hr
Once the circle is complete, there is time for crafty activities to take place while everyone nurtures & nourishes the person being celebrated.
Tea, snacks & massages are encouraged.
Craft ideas:
Making flower crowns
Creating bath salts infused with organic herbs/flowers
Affirmation flag making
Craft for baby; art for nursery, tie dying baby outifts etc.
Love notes for pregnancy, postpartum or future days for the host to read
Before the blessing is over, there is opportunity for those involved to make plans for how to best support the host;
Organising meal trains
Money or vouchers to support their journey eg. massages, doula support, pre-made meal boxes etc.
Every blessing/circle is unique to the individual & they can be as simple or as deep as you need it to be.
The purpose of holding space for rites of passages is to ensure the individual is nurtured, nourished, uplifted & empowered for their next adventure in life.
Blessing ceremonies a wonderful alternative to baby showers, as we give love, strength & encouragement to the parents-to-be instead of gifts.
