Wenlin Tan

Interdisciplinary Artist & Embodied Listening Practitioner Participatory Art | Ecology | Collective Wellbeing.

Turin, Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy

I am an interdisciplinary artist and embodied listening practitioner working at the intersection of participatory art, ecology, and relational awareness. My practice develops embodied and site-responsive methodologies that explore listening beyond language — through movement, rhythm, sensory attention, and watershed environments. I design participatory formats that cultivate collective attention and expand wellbeing from individual regulation toward relational and ecological care. My background spans behavioural health, psychology, and over 15 years of experience facilitating group processes across Asia, Europe, and the USA. These foundations inform the ethical and psychologically grounded containers within which my artistic work unfolds. Current research includes embodied ecological inquiry along the River Po in Turin and interdisciplinary collaborations integrating citizen science and collective sensing practices. I am interested in building transferable artistic frameworks that support care, reciprocity, and non-extractive engagement within complex social and ecological systems.

About this FieldTrip

Unlock Creative Flow with the Five Elements of Playful Discipline in this immersive, transformative masterclass designed to ignite human creativity through Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, & Water. Through interactive group activities & individual explorations, you’ll learn to:

  • Tap into the Power of the Creative Cycle

  • Overcome creative blocks through the Five Elements

  • Cultivate a playful yet disciplined approach to creativity

Please note: This FieldTrip offers optional breakout rooms. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We'll make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
