Cocoon
slow down and reconnect
13-16 February 2026 | Idyllwild, California
A long weekend retreat for women
As the days remain short and the earth lies quiet beneath a blanket of stillness, we invite you to Cocoon – a seasonal pause designed to help you slow down, restore, and return to your inner light.
This intimate 3-night women’s retreat, held in a cozy and welcoming home in the mountains of Idyllwild, offers a gentle invitation to move with the rhythm of winter: to embrace the hush, rekindle your inner warmth, and be held in deep rest and reflection.
Attending this retreat organized by Sian and Claire was truly an eye-opening experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep connection with nature and a sense of grounding that I hadn’t realized I needed. The retreat was beautifully curated, blending moments of reflection, movement, and community in a way that felt both intentional and effortless. Every detail, from the surroundings to the activities, contributed to a transformative experience. I left feeling awakened, refreshed, and more in tune with myself—an experience I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to recharge and reconnect.

The Invitation
Winter is nature’s invitation – to be still, to go inward, to tend the quiet flame within.
Cocoon is a space to honor this deep seasonal rest. It’s a place to exhale, to nestle into your own presence, and to nourish body and spirit. Through gentle flows, embodied movement, warming meals, sharing circles, candlelit sound baths, and heartfelt connection, we’ll guide you through a journey: from effort to ease, from doing to dreaming, from outward motion to inner glow.
Together, we’ll explore:
-
Morning practices to gently awaken body and breath
-
Evening rituals like women’s circles and sound healing
-
Embodied dance to feel more connected to our fire
-
Deep rest & reflection, with time to read, journal, sauna, hot tub, or simply be
-
Meaningful connection with a small group of like-hearted women
This is not a retreat to change yourself.
It’s a retreat to connect back to yourself.

This retreat isn’t about fixing or becoming more.
It’s about slowing down.
Becoming present.
Reconnecting.
Listening deeply.
Being with what’s there.
And giving it the space it needs.
The retreat was a transformative experience, meticulously crafted with extraordinary care and intention. It provided exactly the sanctuary I needed to unwind and restore myself. Sian and Claire masterfully created a sacred space where external pressures dissolved, allowing me to fully engage in self-work and self-care, and I emerged renewed and reconnected.

Our Cocoon - The Dome
About two hours Northeast of San Diego, The Dome is a cozy, down-to-earth home in the mountainous forest of Idyllwild.
With 5 guest rooms, a big open kitchen, a light-filled living space for all our activities, a hot tub, soaking tubs, a sauna, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, it’s the perfect setting to cocoon.
You’ll have the option to share a room with 1–2 other women or to book a private room (limited).
The entire home is ours for the weekend - a warm, safe container to slow down, exhale, and reconnect.
This is for you if...
You’re craving slowness, space, and simplicity
You feel tired of the noise, the rush, the constant doing
You long to reconnect with your body, your breath, your heart, your inner voice
You want to be part of a warm, real, grounded community of women
You’re ready to turn inward and let the season guide you
From the handwritten journals, to the literal hand-given body adjustments – this retreat was so well planned and executed. And beyond thoughtful. I am so happy I could be a part of it.

Claire
I have a passion for creating heartfelt spaces that honor the whole of you. My background spans somatic movement, embodied dance, music, coaching, and teaching - but mostly, I'm a human who cares deeply about real connection, softness, and presence.
Cocoon is an offering I created with my partner, Sian, who is based in Berlin.
It comes from the heart -- a gentle pause, a space to return to yourself, and to what really matters.
The retreat from Claire and Sian was a balm to the soul. The energy that Claire and Sian bring to the space is so incredible, and I was able to feel really safe to share things...it was an opportunity to practice communication with love and compassion, to give myself some love, to let go of things and open space for a new me.
