A blessingway is not a baby shower, but its rather more spiritual celebration of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Blessingway has its roots in Navajo tradition, and we have borrowed and adapted this ancient custom. Blessingway is a small gathering of the close women family and friends of a pregnant woman, to inspire, nurture and celebrate her during the last weeks of pregnancy.Everyone brinds a bead or two for a birthing necklace, a blessing, an object for the altar, some food to share. Along with all this, mama to be gets her belly hennaed for as a blessing.
