Mother’s Blessings are planned with the mother and/or a close friend or relative who is hosting. They involve a little preparation with guests each bringing an offering such as a reading, poem or small token gift.

The circle ceremony is facilitated, allowing the mother to be honoured and celebrated; blessings are shared, hopes and fears can be voiced. The mother is usually adorned perhaps with flowers, body art or a necklace made from small token gifts.

The circle ceremony is closed and guests may share food, sing, dance or walk in nature together.

Groups may also choose to make natural gifts which can be offered as a pregnancy and postnatal hamper to the mother.

Cooking and recipe sharing is another lovely activity. It can be a wonderful way to collectively share ideas and plan ways to support the mother once the baby arrives.
