Hello! Kate here.  This website is a mess. I know. I am sorry. I have done this myself, and I am not a web designer. I hope there is enough information here for you to get a feel for the values, principles, and purpose of Cocoon.

This is a work-in-progress, much like Cocoon itself.

Get in touch directly if you’d like to know more: kate@katemb.com

Cocoon

new date: thurs december 12th 10-12 on zoom

Transforming an empty Barclays bank unit into a music and movement play space for families in North Shields. A safe, nurturing place to play, rest, make music and be together.

Cocoon in-development

Transformation from old bank office to Cocoon is well and truly underway. Walls painted, murals in place, voiles going up over the ceiling.

This will be finished by the end of this year.

Picture this: step out of Poundland in the Beacon shopping centre in Shields, and step into our sanctuary away from the strains of everyday life and cost-of-living crisis.
Our beautiful space contains: musician; movement practitioner; curated safe places to move freely; beautiful and high quality instruments (no headaches here); projections; lycra; voiles; shadow play; hammocks; rest cocoons; playful encounters; deep connection; celebration of you and your child.
Music and movement play are at the heart of the experience. 
One family at a time have a dedicated hour in our space, to be however they would like to be. No pressure or expectation to perform or be a certain way. No public parenting fears here. 
The youngest child will lead the experience, giving them unique autonomy within their family unit, in a facilitated safe space. 
Two attuned, creative practitioners facilitate child-centred play and exploration which involves the other family members. 

crowdfund success!
