Rite of the Womb: Mother's Blessing
2025-10-18 17:00 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Join us for The Rite of the Womb, a monthly women’s circle held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick.
This sacred gathering offers a space to connect, heal, and celebrate your feminine essence through empowering workshops and community. The evening culminates in the Rite of the Womb, a shamanic initiation for releasing fear and ancestral pain, and reclaiming your inner power. Throughout the evening, you’ll be embraced by a supportive women’s community and sisterhood, fostering connections that uplift and inspire.
This month’s workshop explores how the feminine path to spirituality is rooted in the body, offering daily invitations to surrender, trust, and deepen our intuition. When we think of spiritual practice, we often picture structured rituals like meditation or retreats. But for women, spiritual growth is also built into our biology—through menstrual cycles, pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and menopause. Instead of forcing ourselves into linear routines, we’ll reclaim the wisdom of our natural rhythms and reconnect with the power already within us.
A unique and exciting celebration that will be taking place this month will be a Mother’s Blessing Ceremony for a sister in our community. A Mother’s Blessing is a sacred rite of passage that honors the emotional, spiritual, and physical journey into motherhood. Rooted in ancient feminine traditions, it shifts the focus from baby to mother—celebrating her body, intuition, and inner strength. Surrounded by a circle of women, she is supported through ritual, storytelling, and shared wisdom, inviting deep surrender and connection to the cyclical power of creation. This ceremony is a return to embodied spirituality, where motherhood is honored as a sacred threshold.
What to bring to the Mother’s Blessing:

An offering for the mother to be can be energetic or material, some examples:

Flowers

Personal elements like a song, prayer or scripture

Meaningful keepsakes for her to put on her altar in her birthing space

Jewelry/crystals

Massage/foot soak

Simply yourself

A snack to share with the group

A personal water bottle

Any items you would like honored on the collective altar

Divination tools you work with

Contact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns.
Suggested donation to support the space and group is $33, although no one will be turned away for financial hardship
