Rites of Passage: Grandmother Honouring Ceremony
October 4, 2020
Rites of Passage Ceremonies play an important role in our culture and society as they serve to record a person’s transition into another phase in their life. This can include becoming a man or woman, becoming a new mom or becoming a grandmother or grandfather. The community unites to recognize and honor the person during these ceremonies. This week’s blog encompasses the Grandmother Honoring Ceremony.
The transition into a grandmother role, as with any new experience, can be both exciting and daunting. You are leaving behind youth and entering into the new role of elder. What a grandmother brings into this new role though, is the wisdom and experiences acquired throughout a lifetime. These traits will serve to aid in discovering who you are in a completely different capacity. You do not need to be a physical grandmother to participate in this type of ceremony. Hence, The Grandmother Honoring Ceremony provides a chance to acknowledge and celebrate a life well lived.
The Grandmother Honoring Ceremony also provides a forum where family members, close friends and the community can congregate and discuss how the grandmother figure has impacted their lives. It is like a funeral in reverse and the grandmother is the guest of honor. She gets to hear just how deep of an impact she has had on other people’s lives. It is very important to keep your spirit healthy so that you might age with vitality. One of the ways to enhance that is through this type of ceremony.
