CLOSING THE BONES CEREMONY
RESTORING & INTEGRATING AFTER BIRTH & GREAT CHANGE
There are times in life when we are pushed past our limits.
​
Birthing is one of them.
Loss is another.
Illness and major surgery.
Menopause.​
​
How do we navigate and integrate immense change so that we feel resolved in our body, mind and soul? I believe the answer is multifaceted, but we need closure in our bodies, our spirits and in the feeling of our stories.​​
A Closing the Bones Ceremony is a powerful, embodied yet also deeply spiritual way to honor and integrate a life changing transition. After training with a traditional Mexican lineage holder of this special work- Naoli Vinaver, I am honored to offer this sacred service to new mothers and women of all ages on the Mid-North Coast. ​​
​
Usually performed in the first 40 days of the postpartum, but equally valuable at other times too, this is a special series of ceremonial treatments to bring you back home to yourself.
Let's acknowledge that birth is BIG.
Physically, emotionally and spiritually.
It changes us.
Rearranges us.
Births not just a baby, but a new version of ourselves.
​
Let's acknowledge and address the gravity of birth and her effect on our bodies, our minds, our personalities, relationships and families.
​
And do what we can to nourish and celebrate each other.
The ceremony can be shared one on one or can also be done as part of a group with your best friends and family present to witness you and celebrate you after the birth. Please talk to Chaitanya about the organisation of a group celebration and negotiate costs.
The Closing the Bones Ceremony can bring a deep embodied sense of coming back home to yourself after a period of intense change or challenge.
It helps us to close the expanded energies that open in birth as well as close a chapter of our life -bringing us forward into the new chapter we are beginning.
Chaitanya facilitated a beautiful space for my Closing of the Bones Ceremony.
I felt truly nourished as she and my two sister friends loved and honoured my body and soul after birthing my first child. Truly a magical and healing experience Thank you Chai - Angie C.
