This is an experiential workshop based on the Taketina rhythm process as developed by Reinhard Flatischler.

We were born to make music and to connect ourselves and each other through rhythm. As men we can lose connection to the musician within, and to our creative rhythmic voice. 
We can also be hard on ourselves and scared of looking silly or getting it wrong.

In this workshop the body will be our instrument as we explore simple layers of rhythm, using steps, claps and the voice.
It is through these layers of embodied rhythm that simultaneous awareness can open us into deep states of trance and connection. An experience where we feel carried by rhythm and fully connected to our body and senses.

Focusing on two or three layers at the same time can also be very challenging in moments and we can lose our place.
When we do fall out of rhythm however we have a choice in how we respond.
Most of us become rigid and hold on tight, for some the inner critic starts, and it is harder and harder to find our way back in.
But if we lean into the chaos, soften and bring a sense of curiosity and flexibility to it, we can let the wave wash over us.
By letting go, detaching and connecting to the breath we can much more easily find our way back to the rhythm.

By exploring chaos and flow we can gain much insight into how we learn, who we are, and what stops us from growing and responding openly to the difficult moments in our life.

Each participant will be encouraged to go at their own pace and take on as much complexity as they feel comfortable with.  We’ll be working with sound so a set of bluetooth speakers or headphones will help each participant immerse themselves in the experience.
