🌟Welcome to Cocoon 🌟

Cocoon is lovingly co-founded by Morpho and Olivia, who share a love of dance, sacred spaces, transformation and creating community. We believe in the power of music and dance to reconnect us to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.

Our vision is to create a sacred space where you can be your most authentic self, to dance however you want, to explore what’s alive within you, to feel deeply, and to let go of what no longer serves. Through this embodied journey, letting the music be your guide, transformation naturally unfolds.

For this dance we are delighted to welcome Somatic dance facilitator and DJ Isabell.

Isabell:
I am an embodiment facilitator trained in somatic dance and a qualified yoga teacher with a lifelong love of movement. I've been dancing since I was a little girl, following the thread of rhythm and expression whever it led. Over the years I've woven together practices from Open Floor, Movement Medicine, Ecstatic Dance and Five Rhythms, allowing them to flow into one cohesive, intuitive movement journey.

While each discipline has supported my path into embodiment, it is somatic dance that truly freed my spirit and my body. Through this work I guide others to list more deeply, move more honestly and meet themselves with curiosity and compassion.

Unwind is an invitation to explore the inner landscape of the body, to dance with your own living tapestry, and to follow the subtle threads that lead you back home to yourself.

Cacao ceremony

Begin the Cocoon journey with a warm Cacao Ceremony to open the heart, ground the body, and connect with your intentions.

A mindful, soulful ritual that prepares you for a deeper ecstatic dance experience.

Sound bath with Olivia

At the end of our dance, Olivia guides you into a deeply restorative Sound Bath to support integration and grounding.

As the movement settles, crystal bowls, chimes, and gentle frequencies create a soothing soundscape that helps your body absorb the journey.

What is Somatic Dance?

Somatic dance is a free flowing intentional movement practice exploring the connection between body, mind and emotions and encouraging awareness, presence and deep self- connection. No steps to follow, just listen to the facilitator guiding you from the inside out so you can connect with your own rhythm.

🌸 3 Simple Principles 🌸

1. We Dance without shoes: This allows us to connect more fully with the ground.

2. We Dance without words: This makes it easier to be in a meditative state, be in your body and let go of the mind.

3. We Dance as we are: Drugs/alcohol free, phone/camera/video free, just be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another.

🌀Please note that by purchasing a ticket you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your well-being and all of your belongings whilst at the dance and that Cocoon is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event. 🌀
