Closing ceremony

Postpartum closing ceremonies (rebozo closing ritual/rituel rebozo/cerrada de caderas) in Luxembourg. A moment of reconnection.

A time of reconnection, a journey inwards to celebrate yourself, to take a break, make a pause, and transition to a new stage of your life.

A rite of passage to offer to yourself or to someone you love. To celebrate a new mother, the new moons of a young girl, a marriage; or as a tool to help you integrate difficult experiences.

These ceremonies are known with many different names: postpartum ritual, closing of the bones ceremony, rebozo closing ritual, rituel rebozo, soins rebozo. They are inspired on the ritual offered by traditional american parteras, known as “cerrada de caderas”. We propose a specific structure for our ceremonies, but if you have specific desires, we can always arrange a ceremony that adapts to your own wishes and situation.

You can come with your baby! We take good care of them, and they tend to benefit from the ritual too 🙂

The Ritual

The full ceremony has a duration of approximately 3 hours, and it develops as follows:

Welcome

We will gather around the traditional beverage of this ritual, to welcome you and talk warmly about your wishes and expectations, so that we could better support you during these three hours.

Four handed massage

Under the soft light of some candles, you will relax during a whole body massage with warm oil.

Steam bath / warm bath – resting time

As inside a cocoon, you will be offered a moment of introspection, of physical and emotional  rinse and detox.

Closing of the bones

The traditional “Cerrada de caderas“. A closing of 5 key points of the body with help of rebozos, to be able to put together again what was open, let go of what no longer serves you and mark the passage and the re-opening to your new version.

We finish the ritual gathering again back around a cup of tea and some snacks, a little oracle and exchange.
