June 22: Closing the Bones: Rebozo wrapping the new mother for postpartum health. A free workshop for mothers and birth workers.

Class Description: A rebozo is a long, woven shawl. Women across Central and South America use rebozos for many things, including the carrying of children. The Closing the Bones Rebozo ceremony is a Mexican tradition, performed by midwives on new mothers, and can be mixed with many other beautiful offerings, including a floral bath, smudging, and other types of mother blessing. It is a way to seal and close the birth experience, and honor all the opening the woman had to do in order to birth a baby, not only physically, but emotionally as well.

Workshop is for Mothers (pregnant and postpartum), and Birth-Workers (doulas, midwives, childbirth educators, etc). I'm also extending a special invitation to the Latina and Hispanic women's health community, as the demonstration tonight is based on a Mexican tradition for postpartum health.

In this class, birthworkers and mothers will learn the beautiful art for themselves and their clients. I'll have a few rebozos for sale ($40 - $85).
