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.
The Ritual
The 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
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.
A ritual for women, facilitated by two women
I offer the closing ceremonies together with the osteopath Claire Georges at Centre Lunata, in Bertrange. If you want to find out more details or book your slot, feel free to contact me. You can also get it as a gift card / gift box (it is *the* most perfect birth gift, I assure you!) — see below for inspiration!
