Three-day TaKeTiNa workshop
Finding Balance through Rhythm
Friday evening; Saturday & Sunday all day
Isn’t it interesting how our basic assumptions of life allow us to keep balance in our day-to-day existence?
Suddenly, crisis occurs. The ground shifts beneath our feet and the path appears less clear. Our definition of ourself is called into question.
The TaKeTiNa rhythm process provides a powerful place in which to weather upheaval and change. In the shelter of this rhythm circle, we calm our minds by embracing the flow of stepping, clapping, and call-and-response singing. As we surrender, doubt and fear dissolve. Once again, we find our equilibrium: a new way of approaching life.
