How do you integrate and complete the Rite of Passage from Maiden to Mother?

In this Blog, I share about the 3 Stages of the Rite of Passage, how they relate to Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum, and how Birth Storytelling and the Closing of the Bones Ceremony supports the completion of the Rite of Passage through Community Support and social recognition.

Postpartum Care is for every Mother or Grandmother, whether you’re 3 days or 30+ years postpartum, because postpartum isn’t just the First 40 Days, it’s lifelong.

It can take years for your body to recover from pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, especially if you never received Postpartum Care. And no matter how old your babies are, you will never not be a mother again.
