Jason Cohen

Jason Cohen is the facilitator for the opening ceremony. He discovered the flow of energy between his fingers and hands at the age of 13.The practice of cultivating this energy and applying it with will and faith has led him on a life long journey of experimentation, music, dance, ritual, production and prayer. The producer of 12 Forestdance gatherings in five states in the US and now in Massachusetts and Costa Rica, he has devoted his life to bringing people together in safe eclectic sacred spaces that are designed for the balancing of deep listening and profound human expression. As a co-founder of the heARTbeat Collective: Healing and Expressive ARTists for Balance, Ecology, Awareness, and Transformation, based in Jamaica Plain, MA, Jason hosts events that help people reclaim inspiration while honoring personal connection to the earth and to life. He is the composer, keyboardist and singer for his band Incus, whose unique and dynamic World Tribal Medicine Rock music has moved listeners all over the US and in Costa Rica. For more information, see his web sites: www.forestdance.net, www.heARTbeatCollective.org, and www.Incus.net

Jason's intention for the opening ritual is to bring the event's attendees into a comfortable space where each person can choose to balance their mind with their heart, in union, and thus become a living example of the shift in consciousness that so many are calling for in 2012. Jason will also be performing with his band Incus at the after conference party at the Lily Pad.
