The Inquiry

 

How do we craft containers of such impeccable trust that participants feel safe and courageous to have their needed transformation to live their full brilliance?

 

Cocréa founder, Wren LaFeet has found his purpose and passion in synthesizing over 23 years of physical performance,  improvisational movement techniques and explorative study of authentic relationships.

Integrating practices from Taoism, Buddhism and the ecstatic love paths, Cocréa is a holistic embodiment practice for cultivating a full and vital life.

Bringing together aspects that resonate as Truth from various schools of thought that have come to similar conclusions, this journey ultimately invites the union of heart, mind, body and spirit.

 

The Goal

 

To empower and enable you to fully inhabit yourself and your genius;

to deliver your unique message as an empowered, embodied leader.

This is not strictly about mastering the dance techniques of Cocréa so you can teach partner dance.

It is about liberating the YOU that is burning to give its best and brightest in service to the Whole and equipping you with an epic toolbox to do your soul work.
