About this Event
Taking inspiration from watersheds, ecstatic poetry and luscious dance music, FLOWETRY is a Cocréa workshop designed to help us listen with out hearts through our whole body and find the pathway of least resistance to Bliss.
Some of the truest bliss states I’ve found on the dance floor are when I find that current of effortless flow with a partner detached from style, but grounded in social partner dance technique.
In this workshop, we’ll focus on the techniques, patterns and right mindfulness (attunement) that allow for this embodiment and access to the lucid sensuality that is the body’s poetry. In finding our connection to feeling and form, detached from the importance of our individual expression, we open the portal to presence that can drop us into flow together.
Lead Facilitator
Wren is an embodiment guide intent on learning how to be in right-relationship as a 21st century human so he can best serve life. A trained dancer and theater worker, Wren shares body-based practices synthesized from social partner dance, mindfulness, Taoism, the Gene Keys, watersheds, neuroscience and psychology that support interpersonal connection and positive change.
In 2013, Wren co-founded Cocréa as a vehicle for exploring mindful, consent based relational practice through movement and dance. Channeling this intelligence, he creates brave spaces for humans struggling with disconnection and longing for a deeper sense of belonging to come home to themselves through the body.
Wren’s own many years of seeking have led him through theater and filmmaking, circus, nomadism, psychedelic-informed music culture, consent culture, decolonization work, permaculture and most presently, addiction recovery counseling. Along his path, nature, community, relationship, humor, movement and a sense of belonging to something far larger and more unknowable than this seemingly separate self are the consistent threads with which Wren braids meaning and purpose into life.
He is a TEDx speaker, featured author in "ReInhabiting the Village", certified Attunement Therapy practitioner and HeartMath certified trauma sensitive educator. Wren abides on the unceeded lands of the Amun Mutsen and Awaswas peoples, in the San Lorenzo river watershed, in the so-called region of Santa Cruz, California and is a 5th generation Californian descended from Portuguese emmigrants to San Rafael.
He has been dancing since 1998 and began performing on stage when he was 6 years old. He works with Embodied Recovery in Los Gatos, CA.
