Teaching dance and sharing presence in service to co-creating a global culture of harmony, connection, and intimacy. www.dancecocrea.com

Cocréa is Collaborative, Organic Communication, Revolutionizing Embodied Awareness; an emergent style of Fusion Partner Dance that focuses on presence, compassion and faith with and in others. Seamlessly integrating relational dynamics and the spiritual philosophy of partner dance as an awareness practice for personal growth, we evolve expression in a practice of moving in intuitive, kinetic dialo

gue to ANY style of music. Viewing dance as life, Cocréa is a holistic movement modality intended for healing and transformation. This somatic toolbox emphasizes connection, communication and presence between two people within a community of others. Allowing intuition and feeling to guide the partnership, their centers and frames to support it, dancers listen and respond in the moment to access and embody their genius.

“When the power of love is greater than the love of power, we shall know peace.”

In meeting ourselves yet again in this time of great intensity and polarization, it feels important that we gather to explore and embody this sentiment that has been spoken and echoed by so many throughout time.

In this exploration of community and relationship through movement, we continue to be curious and interested in the power of the heart.

Wren and Brenée are thrilled to collab with another beautiful somatic contemplation on the Gene Keys, this time focusing on Gene Key 25, the pathway of Acceptance from the shadow of Constriction, to the siddhi of Universal Love.

We assume no mastery in this arena.

We are forever students holding faith in humanity, the process of opening the heart to the mystery and as our dear sister puts it, “the journey of becoming”.

We invite you to share tender, vulnerable space with us. Put opinions down for a day and come together to feed the vision of unity.

Learn some partnered movement and relating practices that we’ve watched melt armor and dismantle walls, dance with great presence and generosity of heart and if you dare, find a deep and abiding connection to joy, acceptance and the power of the heart.

Then we celebrate!

The evening portion of the event will feature the sounds of DJ Wren LaFeet, and .love & .

Our last Gene Keys inspired event with and was one to remember. We’re sure this one will be no different!

Join us with our partner .nc the next day for more dance and integration.

“Consent is s*xy.”

This is a phrase that’s been going around for a while, and there’s a really good reason.

We didn’t make this up, but we as a team agree and have proven for ourselves through experience and applied practice,

when good consent is part of interactions, everything feels way, way juicier.

It doesn’t even have to be s3xual or s3nsual.

When we ask first, it lubricates the moment.

It sets everyone up to feel empowered and at choice.

Don’t you love it when you’re given the opportunity to make your own choices as to how your life proceeds?

We know we do.

Come spend a week embodying these practices and living from the delight of being at choice.

Then watch how your life changes.

Thanks for the photos ❤️‍🔥🙏🏼

On this National Day of Mourning, we recognize we are existing on stolen land.

This is not to shame or wrong anyone of European colonist descent.

It is to bring awareness to the facts of how we got here and to insist that we change the way we live so that we may be in right relationship with the land that gives us life and the people who tended and belonged to it long before Europeans came and who survive to this day with the trauma of genocide.

It is to be real on this day - that is a national holiday - and get honest about what we are truly celebrating.

To give thanks for what we have with a clear conscience, generous heart and humble mind might actually look wildly different than how we have been brought up to hold it.

You might feel defensive at the notion that to celebrate by consuming and taking more on this day might actually be disrespectful and dishonorable.

That’s understandable.

You are allowed to feel grief and a sense of loss.

Our invitation is to put in the work to understand another perspective: the Indigenous one.

To take this “Thanksgiving Day” and GIVE instead of CONSUME in the most meaningful way we as descendants of colonialism can: find a way to be in service to indigenous communities and people.

We know you likely work hard for your family, and you deserve to rest and have a day off as well.

We’re asking that you consider the labor that indigenous folks have done and have been doing for the last 400 years simply to be acknowledged as human.

Let’s remember how we got here.

Not as some act of shameful contrition. But as a reclaiming of our soul. As a return to the beauty way.

Humility is anything but weak.

We are refining and clarifying so we can offer you the most powerful and aligned experience possible.

Dance Your Medicine is so much more than a retreat.

It’s a Life Training.

If you’re interested in facilitating Cocréa at some point,

it does satisfy our Level One Foundations pre-requisite to participate in our soon-to-be announced Level Two Facilitator Training.

But beyond any certification you might get, this team is interested in training tools for living a life of Liberation.

We believe in getting there through the body and in embodying living in right relationship.

The retreat is in just over 3 months.

Will you be there?
