Motherhood- A Rite of Passage

In celebration of my transition to Motherhood, my dear friends held a Mother Blessing for me

I believe it is so important to honour these momentous occasions that mark our path through life.

I believe we should be celebrated as each transition occurs, for women: our birth, our step from girl to young woman/Maiden, the step from Maiden to Mother, from Mother to Maga, and Maga to Crone/Wise Woman.
.

This belief in celebration of each unique human in each transition of their life has led me to gift my love and heart into Tides: the Rites of Passage program for girls, celebrating and honouring their journey of becoming young women.

My own Mother Blessing was a day of delight!

We shared stories of births and wisdom for what lay ahead.
My feet were bathed and massaged, truly and deeply honoured.

A wishing tea was prepared, with the wishes of all sprinkled in with a delicious mix of herbal tea for us all to share and absorb all of the wishes.

Beads were brought as treasures gifted by the special and cherished people in my life from all over the world, their stories told and then woven onto the roots of my Tree of Life.

A magical jar of Crystal filled water stood proudly in the middle of the circle of women, ready to receive all the best intentions and blessings, and ready for us to each enjoy a sip.

We shared chocolate of course, in all different shapes and forms.

A wild rope was carefully woven by the hands of all who were there. A rope made of hand dyed silk, woven carefully around the wrists of each of us, to symbolise the umbilical cord and to bind us together until we all knew mama and baby were safe.

A special and most treasured day that stays so strongly in my memory........

I passed through my Rite of Passage with honour and celebration and I delight in being a Mother.

I am now offering facilitation of these precious ceremonies, how could I not!?

DM me if you would like to have one to celebrate your own Rite of Passage.
