Our Mission The Rebozo Way seeks to educate the public about traditional methods of birthing, family and community relationships, and about in-arms and continuum/attachment parenting as practiced by indigenous peoples worldwide, and as relevant to our own lives as caring members of the world community. Our commitment is to promote ways of bonding and being with babies, small children, and each other, ways that lead to greater self-esteem for every individual, as well as inner and outer peace and sense of community.

A REBOZO IS A TRADITIONAL MEXICAN SHAWL

The Rebozo Way Project The Rebozo Way was first conceived on the buses, back roads, street corners, and markets of southern Mexico and Guatemala, watching babies carried in rebozos and sutes (native shawls and cloths) in many sizes, fabrics, weaves, and positions. The women moved with grace and dignity; the babies moved with them, wide-eyed and mostly quiet. It seemed so different from most babies in western cultures--these mothers weren’t constantly doing things to entertain the babies or to stop them from fussing. And the moms were out and about, laughing, socializing, shopping, working, hauling things--with both hands free!
