A chamber of stillness, woven shelter of change.
In many cultures, the cocoon symbolised the mystery of becoming — the place where caterpillar turns to butterfly, unseen yet unstoppable.
Protection, transformation, hidden strength. The cocoon shows that deep change requires retreat, patience, and trust in what cannot yet be seen.
Cocoon invites us to honour pauses, to recognise the sacred work happening within silence and rest. Not all growth is visible, but all is essential.
Take a moment of retreat today. Wrap yourself in stillness. Ask: What within me is quietly reshaping itself?
The cocoon endures because transformation is woven into life — endings turn to beginnings, and hidden work bursts forth as flight.
