The Restorative Cocoon:

A Closing of the Bones Ceremony

Closing of the Bones Ceremony with Tala Rose & Sonja

A 2-hour journey of holding, sound, and renewal

The Restorative Cocoon is a ceremony of deep rest and containment and a chance to be fully held and nourished.

Your journey begins with a warm herbal foot bath, an oracle card pull, and a journal prompt to clarify your intention.

From here, you are wrapped in the traditional Closing of the Bones Ceremony, a practice of gentle binding that restores a sense of safety, wholeness, and belonging.

While held in this cocoon, you are guided through a Sound Journey, a weaving of crystal bowls, drum, and voice that allows tension to release and the spirit to soften into spaciousness.

You will also be held within the field of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, where the innate intelligence of the body can come forward, and the nervous system can unwind and re-balance. 

The ceremony closes with a gentle unwrapping,  grounding cup of tea, light and nourishing snack as well as some time for quiet reflection ~ leaving you grounded, renewed, and embraced by calm for this new cycle you are emerging into. 

This offering is for those seeking a focused reset, a ritual pause, or gentle restoration in times of transition (postpartum at any stage, grief, change, depletion, rite of passage)

Tala Rose is a Métis practitioner based on Mnidoo Mnising (Manitoulin Island). Drawing on a decade of movement study, she integrates Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Mayan Abdominal Massage (Tul’Ix Indigenous Arts) to offer trauma-informed, consent-led care. Tala’s approach is slow and attentive ~ grounded in the land, presence, breath and rhythm, and shaped by both ancestral wisdom and contemporary nervous-system understanding. Through Mayan Abdominal Massage she supports women in reconnecting with womb health, cyclical wisdom, and pleasure, while easing patterns of tension held in the body.. Beyond her practice, she tends meditation,  gardening and homesteading, time in nature, and creative arts. Her work is inspired and guided by deep nervous system regulation, and a return to wholeness by connecting with our inner wisdom & light, purpose and the innate intelligence at play within our bodies.
