Event Details

"Rhythm is one of the most ancient and efficient ways to influence and develop human consciousness. In our globally-networked and technologically-focused world, human beings often lose touch with their own internal rhythms, making them feel displaced and de-synchronized. TaKeTiNa allows them to reconnect with the healing powers of rhythm and primordial motion.

Social, mental, creative, spiritual and of course musical faculties are reawakened and developed with the practice of TaKeTiNa." -Reinhard Flatischler (Founder of the TaKeTiNa Process)

TaKeTiNa is a gentle group process that combines voice and movement. No previous musical experience needed

Join us for a fun and engaging workshop with Certified TaKeTiNa Teacher
John Anderson and esteemed local musician Ria Soemardjo. 


Workshop Dates / Times:

Saturday 21 October 11AM - 6PM

Sunday 22 October 10AM - 5PM

About TaKeTiNa:

In your daily life, TaKeTiNa can help you to:

- experience a profound state of peace, relaxation and inner silence

- develop presence and expanded perception

- improve your attention and ability to stay focused for long periods

- manage chaotic life situations with creativity, humour and effectiveness

- decrease your anxiety about making mistakes and always getting things right


If you are a musician or performer, TaKeTiNa can help you to:

- discover a deep and embodied understanding of rhythm

- stay attuned to your audience while performing in a natural and spontaneous way

- realize your potential with improvisation and composition in any craft

- increase competence with instrumental playing and improvising

Note: This workshop is not specifically oriented towards musicians/performers. TaKeTiNa is a group process which activates human potential and can be applied to any profession or aspect of your life.

TaKeTiNa was developed by Austrian musician Reinhard Flatischler after years of travelling the world's cultures seeking that which is both universal and human in the language of music.



ABOUT JOHN:

I've been playing music for 58 years.... since I was 10. What I love about TaKeTiNa, which I chanced upon 20 years ago (and have been studying intensively for 5) is how it brings together any group of people using the simplest method: the voice.... speaking rhythmic syllables (eg. "ta ke ti na"), then the feet stepping, then the hands clapping.... and finally the voice singing in response to the leader's calls. It's a graceful and flexible process in which deep integration of body-mind-spirit is possible. It's now my music of choice.... I like to call it "Bare bones Music"
