About the event
Postpartum is more than “recovery” — it is ceremony, protection, and restoration. In many cultures around the world, mothers are honored with intentional practices that close the body, protect the womb, and guide them through the sacred 40-day window after birth.
In this hybrid workshop, you’ll gain hands-on skills and cultural wisdom around postpartum belly binding methods — including the Malaysian Bengkung, Mexican Faja, Japanese Sarashi, African Lappa, and the Rebozo of Mexico/Caribbean traditions. Each binding technique holds its own history, energy, and purpose, and you’ll learn how to safely practice them for yourself or for the women you support.
Together we’ll explore:
Belly Binding Traditions → Learn step-by-step methods like Bengkung, Faja, Rebozo, Sarashi, and Lappa — techniques passed down through generations to support healing and restore strength after birth.
