The Cocoon Experience
The most relaxing experience in New York
A deeply restorative 90-minute nervous system reset.
After a long NYC winter, many of us are moving through life a little overstimulated and under-rested.
The Cocoon Experience is designed as a space to pause, soften, and reset the nervous system.
Inside a peaceful studio in DUMBO, soft silk aerial cocoons hang from the ceiling — gentle suspended spaces where your body can fully let go.
You simply lie inside the cocoon while immersive sound healing fills the room.
For 90 minutes, the outside world fades away.
We close with warm single-source ceremonial cacao from Guatemala, infused with reishi and chaga adaptogenic mushrooms to gently ground and nourish the body.
✨ Note: the 12:00 PM session is already sold out.
What people say
One woman who tried the experience recently shared:
"My mind completely emptied.
My body felt like being back in my mother’s womb.
I haven’t felt that replenished in a long time."
Moments like this are why this experience exists.
What happens during the experience
Arrival & Grounding
Guests arrive to a peaceful studio space in the DUMBO just steps from the East River and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
You’ll settle in, choose your cocoon, and take a moment to slow down from the rhythm of the city.
Aerial Cocoon Rest
You’ll lie inside a soft silk aerial cocoon — a suspended fabric cradle that gently supports the body.
The subtle floating sensation allows the muscles to release and the nervous system to shift into deep relaxation.
Immersive Live Sound Bath
As you rest in the cocoon, live sound healing fills the room with grounding frequencies.
The soundscape helps guide the body into a meditative state, allowing tension to dissolve naturally.
Ceremonial Cacao with Adaptogens
We close the experience with a warm ceremonial cacao elixir from Guatemala by Soul & Spirit, infused with gentle adaptogens such as reishi and chaga.
This grounding ritual helps integrate the experience and bring the body back slowly and softly.

FAQ
What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, warm, and cozy. Soft layers work best for resting in the cocoon, and we recommend bringing warm socks, as body temperature can drop during deep relaxation.
You’re also welcome to bring an extra sweater or wrap to stay cozy.
I've never done aerial — is this safe?
Yes. You're resting in a supportive hammock, not doing acrobatics. No strength required.
What if I'm claustrophobic?
The cocoons are open and breathable. If you prefer, book a floor spot — you'll receive the same transformative experience.
Can I come if I'm pregnant?
Floor spots yes. Cocoons not recommended after first trimester.
Does cacao contain caffeine?
No. It contains theobromine — gentle, heart-opening energy without jitters.
What if I book the wrong session time?
Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to accommodate.
