Birth and Baby Ceremonies
Whether you are giving birth or adopting a baby, becoming a parent is a momentous occasion that will change your life more than anything else will. Marking this transition in a meaningful way brings strength, comfort, security and wisdom into the lives of the expecting family.
In our society, honoring this change is often represented with a baby shower. While this tradition is important as it assures that new parent/s have the material items needed to welcome a baby home, there are also deeper gifts and knowledge to share with a woman or couple that tap into the many layers of human connection that will see them through this major rite of passage.
Rite Path Home works closely with the expecting, and/or friends and family of the expecting, to create a customized ceremony that will honor, illuminate and celebrate these important connections.
See Rite Path Home's “Milestones” tab for information on working individually with Kim regarding pregnancy, birth and parenting.
