Closing of the Bones Ceremony

Postpartum Healing Ceremony:

The Closing of the Bones is a meaningful cross-cultural tradition that has been passed down through generations for women during the post-birth or loss recovery period. This ceremony plays a crucial role in assisting women in rebuilding their connection with their bodies following childbirth, creating a therapeutic environment focused on restoring equilibrium and fortitude. Delicate yet powerful, the woman is enveloped in rebozos, representative of protection and solidarity, and gently swayed to ease tension and encourage a sense of calmness. Through the practice of deep breathing and guided visualization, the ceremony aims to harmonize the body's energy flow, alleviating both physical discomfort and emotional strain. This ceremonial gathering provides a supportive space for women to openly express their feelings, contributing to emotional recuperation from the challenges of childbirth. As the rebozos are unwrapped, symbolizing new beginnings, the ceremony concludes with a reflective moment honoring the woman's resilience and inner strength.
