INTENTION: To rebalance the feminine and masculine energies in ourselves while using the Butterfly Effect, individually and collectively to transform our world's future
...one Cocooning Retreat at a time.
Who Is Cocooning For?
Cocooning for any one who wants to address the need for inner or worldly balance as individual or in community. It is for people who primarily fulfill their purpose acting independently. Cocooners desire a precious blend of private time wrapped in the supportive arms of community. It’s for people who can respectively listen and learn from others with different perspectives. It's for individuals who have a week to “gift” themselves to center, renew, and spread their wings.
Cocooning is NOT for individuals seeking workshops, programmed activities, or highly structured commercial retreats.
Where Do You Cocoon?
Selected retreat sites support Cocooning's Intention and provide an ambiance conducive to Cocooning. These sites feature amenities like Nature rich environments, fireplaces, water treatments, good food, and great service in tranquil settings. There is an abundance of comfortable seating indoors and out in secluded and communal spaces allowing participants to control their levels of privacy, external stimuli, and social interaction.
How Will Cocooning Evolve?
The composition of Cocooning groups will evolve and expand over time. Participants will have the opportunity to provide input to shape each retreat and feedback to enhance the next. Individuals who resonate with Cocooning are invited to contribute to the concept’s continual development as partners, sponsors, or supporters of future retreats.
What is Cocooning?
Cocooning involves incapsulating a small group of like-missioned individuals into a nurturing environment to focus on advancing self-awareness, personal projects, or goals. Cocooning Retreats provide a sanctuary to exhale the distractions and responsibilities of the outside world and embrace self-examination, metamorphosis, and connection. Whether working independently, discussing projects, or conversing over dinner, it is a safe space to be truthful, ask questions, and simply be.

And Gratitude
Cocooning was born out of a personal need for some precious “alone time” to freely do what I wanted, when I wanted, because I wanted. I didn’t have a name for it then, but I knew its essence and what my spirit was craving.
A friend told me about The Good House where I had my first solo Cocooning experience. While there I thought, how perfect it was and there has to be other women needing the same. There was a natural barrier from the outside world allowing me precious time to create, move to my own rhythms, and hangout with myself...to simply be Patrice. The more I enjoyed the experience, the more the vision for Cocooning Retreats came into focus.
What if I gathered a small group of women who desired the same type of Cocooning Experience? They had to be socially curious and enjoy engaging with strangers, like I do. What would it look like, feel like, and most importantly what could we collectively accomplish? I needed to find out and that’s how the idea for Cocooning Retreats was born! Well, my "new born" had an unexpected growth spurt in the middle of promoting her as the Women's Cocooning Retreat.
It felt like Divine intervention when I participated in a goals strategy session with Apollo Emeka, a man I connected with on LinkedIn a week prior to our online session. Apollo's LinkedIn post was him holding a sign, "WILL WORK FOR FEEDBACK." I love to help people and engage with strangers, so I signed-up!
By the end of our session I realized my intentions were MUCH bigger than a retreat. It shifted from the Women's Cocooning Retreat to increase feminine energy to including anyone interested in addressing the gross imbalance of masculine energy destroying our planet!
It's now the "Inaugural Cocooning Retreat" for women and men.
Best and highest,
