A Hands-On Immersive Workshop Rooted in Mesoamerican Ancestral Traditions
The Sacred Art of the Closing of the Bones Ceremony invites you to learn one of the most revered healing ceremonies passed down through generations.
More than a postpartum practice, it is a sacred rite of transition, honoring life's thresholds: birth, grief, loss, divorce, illness, burnout, menopause, and new beginnings. Through wrapping, prayer, presence, and energy work, you'll experience how this ceremony supports release, remembrance, and conscious transition, and the reverence required to hold it with integrity.
This immersion is for...
Doulas, birthworkers, midwives and health practicioners
Wellness workers, massage therapists, bodyworkers and healers
Coaches, ceremonial guides, energy workers, and therapists
Someone navigating their own period of healing and tranformation
All genders and backgrounds welcome. No previous experience is required.
Every human being experiences endings, transitions, healing, and rebirth. This ceremony reminds us that every ending holds the possibility of a meaningful new beginning.
