My key take aways from Cocréa are the power of listening, invitation (consent tools), conversational dance, and EMBODIED dance.

Pro Zouk Dancer and workshop participant

My experience at Wren’s Dance Your Medicine retreat was a total initiation. 

The energy that Cocrea brings is one of really landing in the intimacy of the dance. 

What stands out as one of my biggest takeaways is being able to more deeply feel the awe and wonder of my dance partner.

You are a wizard! You make incredible magic happen between people (individuals and groups). You have x-ray vision right into the heart of what’s needed and then you offer the exact medicine for whatever that thing is and the medicine you share is playful, juicy and sweet, so it’s a joy to receive.

Elemental Connection: Embodied Movement with Wren LaFeet & Chelsea Amber

Ready to drop out of your head and into your body?

 

We’re creating space for an evening of embodied movement that cultivates devotional presence and reverent intimacy—no dance experience required.

 

The Journey:

Dancing Freedom: Awaken your body’s wisdom through your connection to the Elements. You cannot do it wrong.

 

Cocréa Practice: Discover how partner dance becomes a portal to presence. Through somatic awareness and conscious connection, you’ll experience intimacy as a transformative practice.
This isn’t about getting steps right. It’s about getting present. It’s about discovering what your body knows when you give it permission to feel fully.

Who this is for:

  • Anyone curious about embodied connection
  • People who want to feel more present in their relationships
  • Dancers of all levels (including none)

Those seeking transformative community experiences

Come alone, come with a partner, come with friends.

All bodies, all identities, all experience levels welcome.

Wren LaFeet

Lead Facilitator | Embodiment Guide | Cocréa Director & Founder

Wren is an embodiment guide committed to practices that encourage living in right-relationship.  A trained dancer, theater worker, mindfulness facilitator and former recovery counselor, Wren shares body-based practices synthesized from social partner dance, mindfulness, Taoism, the Gene Keys, waterways and relating with other humans that support interpersonal connection and positive change. 

 

In 2013, Wren founded Cocréa with co-founder Antje Schaefer, as a vehicle for transformation through exploring mindful, consent based partnered movement as a relational practice. Channeling what he has come to acknowledge as an intelligence that wants the highest possible outcome for humanity, he creates brave spaces for humans seeking a deeper sense of belonging to come home to themselves and the earth through the body. 

 

Wren is a TEDx speaker, featured author in “ReInhabiting the Village”, certified Attunement Therapy practitioner and HeartMath certified trauma sensitive educator. He holds a BA in Drama and Dance and began dancing in 1998 at the height of the swing dance revival. He immediately began fusing dance styles, particularly swing, hip hop and contemporary movement. He began performing in front of audiences at the age of 6 and as a neurospicy human, thrives when channeling his boundless energy, curious mind and empathetic capacity into service to others. 

 

Wren is a Gene Keys Guide and a devotee of the Gene Keys since 2013.

Chelsea Amber

Chelsea Amber

Dancing Freedom Facilitator | Embodiment Guide

Chelsea is a community co-creator, student, teacher, and spiritual seeker. She finds her own divine remembrance and connection through ceremony, nature, silence, and movement. She has found that within music and dance she is able to stabilize her own consistent dialogue and trust in life.

Chelsea seeks containers of safety and skilled holding to explore the depths of her own body as a vessel for liberation and connection – and she aims to create these spaces for others. In addition to being an Ecstatic Dance DJ, Chelsea is a Dancing Freedom Facilitator, yoga teacher, and energy and body worker. Her DJ name ‘Presencia’ comes from a strong internal value to show up presently to each part of the process of creation.
