One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

Friedrich Nietzsche

 

The Rhythmic Body is a TaKeTiNa® workshop designed for individuals of all levels including musicians, movers, bodyworkers, health workers, change-makers, leaders, and anyone intrigued by exploring and cultivating the art of entering a profound state of flow through rhythm and play.Through the immersive practice of focused attention and dynamic rhythm we unlock the gateway to restorative and contemplative states, cultivating a profound harmony with our thoughts, intentions and actions.

“TaKeTiNa, for me personally, is rhythmic medicine—it restores balance, opens a boundless space and evokes a deep sense of being at home”.

ABOUT the TaKeTiNa® Rhythm Process as developed by Reinhard Flatischler

TaKeTiNa® is a process for activating human and musical potential through rhythm and the body. It is a path in which musical learning always goes hand in hand with personal development. As a rhythm and meditation process TaKeTiNa® requires no musical experience. It is an extremely playful and joyous way of entering into the archetypal foundations of rhythms that exist in all music.

Complex poly-rhythms and cross-rhythms form the basis of the process as it utilizes the body by stepping, clapping and singing to generate a complex and rich rhythmic choir. This leads participants into states of relaxation, inner presence and awareness. The process presents opportunities for fun, spontaneity, self-observation, musical expression and reflection and provides time to rest and restore as well.
