Updated weeklyThe next dates are not listed here yet. Instagram carries every evening first, usually two to three weeks ahead.
cocoon is more than an event space. It is a place for personal transformation, human connection, artistic expression — and for evenings that stay with you.
We have held this room for over two years. We host our own curated events and open the space to facilitators, artists and practitioners from Cologne and beyond. Some evenings are quiet. Some are loud. All of them are held.
Four kinds of evening
cocoon Nights
The room turns dark and loud. Sets played close to the floor, electronic music, and dancing that runs its own length.
- DJ sets
- Live electronics
- Immersive parties
cocoon Temple
Sex-positive formats with a facilitated opening, agreements spoken out loud, and people whose job is to hold the room. Read how these evenings work →
- Temple Nights
- Play Parties
- Cuddle Events
cocoon Sessions
The room without a stage. No facilitation, no dance floor — people talking, eating, and showing work while it is still unfinished.
- Talks
- Artist residencies
- Screenings
- Community dinners
cocoon Temple
Evenings that need more explaining
Part of our programme is sex-positive. We say that plainly, because the people who come and the people who decide not to both deserve to know what happens here. Nothing on these evenings is expected of you.
Temple Nights
A facilitated opening, ritual elements, and space for sensual encounter afterwards. Nudity is possible. Taking part in nothing at all is a complete way to spend the evening.
Play Parties
For people who already move in sex-positive spaces. Agreements are made before the room opens, and watching is only part of it where it has been invited.
Cuddle Events
Clothed, non-sexual touch with a facilitator throughout. If any of this is new to you, this is the evening to start with.
The room
Also yours for an evening
Outside our own programme the space is open to facilitators, artists and private gatherings. Sound system, low light, and a room that holds a group without swallowing it.
Tell us what you are planning and we will say honestly whether this room is right for it.
