Falling back in rhythm with TaKeTiNa

Beginning this week, TaKeTiNa rhythm meditation practice groups are back!   Some of you have been missing them — over the last few months we’ve had our energies focused on other projects. (namely West African music – studying, teaching, and travelling.)  Some of you may be curious but haven’t experienced TaKeTiNa yet.  Others may just be reading this strange word for the first time.

In short, TaKeTiNa is a fun and challenging body-mind, group process for connecting to innate rhythm  in a way that can lead to enhanced levels of awareness, simultaneity in perception, and sensations of  joy and inner peace.  It is a way of using rhythm as a vehicle for a playful, moving meditation.

DrumRise’s Amy and Colleen, along with our friend David are currently in the last 6 months of 3 year teacher training.  We’re holding free mini-workshops to practice our skills as we prepare for our certification exams in August.   Please visit our MeetUp group and join us for some explorations in rhythm!
