What is a Goddess Party? How to Celebrate the Spirit of Womanhood with Goddess Parties?

 

Have you heard of a goddess party? I had not and I live in the SF Bay Area which is ground zero for such events. But when a friend of mine on the east coast told me about the goddess themed bridal shower she was co-hosting for her niece that I discovered what a fabulous idea this is.

So I did a little research and found this article below which explains it better than I can. But let me digress for a minute. One popular (but not mandatory) element of a goddess party is that the women wear flower crowns. Flowers are such a powerful symbol of feminine power and beauty and wearing a crown of them is to evoke being a princess or queen (depending on the age of the wearer.)

I am the owner of The Headdress Workshop in Oakland where you can take a headdress class and design your own flower crown (using faux flowers so you can wear it repeatedly.) And our space is one that can be rented for private parties so you can host your own goddess party. Then you and your guests can make headdresses together.

After you read the article below, you might feel the same way that I do now – that a goddess party is a rite of passage that every woman needs at least once in her life.

The spirit of womanhood is often something not as celebrated as other things by humans. However, it is one thing that if ignited on a regular basis, can spark joy in endless ways. The intention is not to put things in a gender comparison perspective; it is simply acknowledging the beauty of its existence. A Goddess Party is one way of rejoicing the boon of womanhood. So, let us look deep into what is a Goddess Party and how to experience this divine way of celebration.

It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman, phenomenally.

—Maya Angelou

When to Have a Goddess Party?

SUMMARY
A Goddess Party can replace any usual type of celebrations. It is a much more meaningful and insightful experience than a simple gathering for food and wine.

Goddess parties can be held for a multitude of occasions. All of them would differ from each other in terms of activities planned for each party. However, the underlying intention behind every Goddess Party is lifting the spirits and empowering each other.

Let us look at some of the occasions that call for a Goddess Party 

Bachelorette Parties

Getting married? It is probably one of the biggest transitions in a woman’s life. People usually opt for a typical “drink all night and throw it all out the next day” type of bachelorette party. Rather, you can choose to embrace the changes that happen within and outside.

 

A woman goes through a roller coaster of emotions before getting married. A Goddess Party allows women to acknowledge this beautiful transition of love, partnership, understanding, and compassion.

Birthdays

When you think of birthday parties, you think of good food and wine, good music and a lot of unnecessary chatter.

Women can also set goals for next year and help each other to control the stumbling blocks along the way.

New Year Parties

Apart from the various reasons listed above for calling a Goddess Party, you can plan it at anytime your Goddess Circle wants some rejuvenation. Just like you sometimes don’t need a reason to party, you don’t need a reason to have a Goddess Party.

How to Host a Goddess Party?

Goddess Parties can be held absolutely anywhere. There is no particular way to host a Goddess Party. However, here are some tips that might help you plan better to create a magical experience for your Goddess Circle:

Step 1: Determine your Goddess Circle

List down the women in your circle you want to invite. If this is the first time you’re planning a Goddess Party, make sure you let the invitees know what this is about. The Goddess circle should be full of women who are open to this new kind of experience.

Step 2: Inform well before time

Once you know the guest list, make sure you send out invitations well in advance. Always ask to RSVP so that one can make the arrangements accordingly. Also, if there is any dress code or theme for the gathering, mention that on the invites. 

Step 3: Transform the space

The aura and space you create for the party play a huge role in setting the mood of the gathering. Since the intention behind these parties is to empower and support each other, the aura should truly resonate with the intent. For instance, you can light scented candles, hang some fairy-lights, arrange an herbal tea counter, decorate the room with fresh flowers and plants or simply hire a planner to do it perfectly for you.

Step 4: Decide the Menu

There is absolutely no restriction on what to eat during a Goddess Party. However, a little consideration towards each element of the Earth would truly match the spirits of such gathering. You can plan something that is healthy and free from animal cruelty. Similarly, you can also choose to cook something easy together.https://2e46fb5f2fa8a9b0295147fadde89229.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

TIP
Do not go overboard with this. You can have a pot-luck or order from a nice place to save time and energy.  Be mindful of people’s dietary restrictions and make sure you have enough for everyone.

Step 5: Work on the Playlist

The music plays a huge role in setting the mood for a party. Choose beautiful and calming music playing in the background. It should invoke positivity and a soothing vibe to the room. Therefore, it is recommended that you find the perfect music because the vibe of the party does depend on it.

Step 6: Seek Help from your Goddesses

Do not go crazy and do not hesitate to ask for help from your fellow goddesses. A Goddess Party is all about the togetherness of women and you should keep this in mind while hosting a party. You can delegate various tasks to women in your circle and go easy on yourself.

Step 7: The end of it

Before you wrap up for the day, make sure you thank each other with warm hugs and blessings for this divine experience. Try to feel the energy and be grateful for everything. Try helping each other outside of such parties as well.

Concluding Note

Women around the world should strive to be the biggest supporters of each other. The collective feminine energy is so powerful that it can create impacts beyond comprehension. Goddess parties have been helping women in ways that are fun and spiritually experiential. It is magical to see what collective understanding and encouragement can do for women.

To sum up, as women, let us try and develop compassion with the help of each other. Let us lift each other and channelize powers through each other. Let us all rejoice the true spirits of womanhood and be the change we want to see in the world.
