About the Training!
Bone closing is a sacred practice rooted in Indigenous Mexican traditions, offered to honor major transitions in life, especially birth. Through this work, we bring warmth, containment, and closure to the body, mind & spirit.
This training is designed for birth workers and body workers who wish to integrate bone closing into their care practices with intentions, cultural integrity and embodiment.
During this experience, we will explore not only the physical techniques for the rebozo and other supportive tools but also how to hold space from a place of presence, humility and deep listening.
This is not a one-day class; it’s the beginning of a longer learning journey. The knowledge shared here asks to be practiced, revisited, and embodied over time. We will move slowly and intentionally, honoring the responsibility that comes with carrying cultural practices.
Training Structure
Day 1: Virtual (7 hours)
We will meet online to explore the cultural roots and traditional understandings of Bone Closing, learn about preparation and materials, and reflect on how we show up as caregivers and learners.
Day 2: In-Person (Full Day)
Hands-on guidance and practice. You’ll learn techniques using the rebozo and other supportive methods to bring comfort, warmth, and closure to the body.
Follow-Up Calls (3 Sessions)
These 90-minute group calls offer ongoing support and space for questions as you continue to practice this modality within your communities.
Community Space
Participants will have access to a private community group to continue sharing experiences, insights, and support as we deepen our collective understanding.
