Introduction to TaKeTiNa
Date: Sun/August 1, 2010
Time: 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Theme: Step into Rhythm
Facilitator(s): Zorina Wolf
Sponsor: Village Heartbeat
Location: Rhythm Traders
Address: 3904 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., (2 blocks North of Fremont,
Region: Portland, OR
Contact: Zorina Wolf, 650-743-6252, vhb@villageheartbeat.com
Price THROUGH Sat/July 31, 2010: $25
Price AFTER Sat/July 31, 2010: $35
Info: In any TaKeTiNa circle, we are invited into an ancient way of learning, using the whole body. First, vocal syllables are spoken as a guide into a rhythm and to connect to basic stepping patterns for the feet. At the right time further complexity is added with hand claps. As participants relax into learning at their own pace, our rhythmic understanding seems to naturally increase, as well as our capacity for tolerating being temporarily confused, or uncertain. Rhythm allows us to experience joy, energy and timelessness, and best of all knowing that we can always find our way "home"."

TaKeTiNa Rhythm Workshop
Meets Daily: Fri/December 3 - Sun/December 5, 2010
Time: TBA - TBA
Theme: BEING TRANSPARENT IN RHYTHM: A TAKETINA EXPERIENCE
Facilitator(s): Zorina Wolf and Deborah Masterson
Sponsor: Madrona MindBody Institute
Location: Madrona MindBody Institute
Address: Fort Worden, 200 Battery Way
Region: Port Townsend, WA

Info: BEING TRANSPARENT IN RHYTHM: A TAKETINA EXPERIENCE with Zorina Wolf and Deborah Masterson, December 3, 4, 5, 2010 to register: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/asp/home.asp?studioid=3536 In this sophisticated world it is challenging to take the time to be a beginner. Defensively, we hide behind our masks, feeling deeply insecure about what we don't know, and often not even knowing we don't know. What is this workshop all about? TaKeTiNa is a rhythmic group process for anyone interested in the transformation of his or her defenses. This rhythmically based practice can open us to the depths of awareness and non-linear consciousness that we find in meditation, yoga, or ecstatic dance, and the same conundrum: we cannot force ourselves into surrender.The circle becomes a reflection of how we act in life: pushing, pulling, or giving up and not trying at all. In a rhythm circle we are given a possibility to see how we struggle and the opportunity to let go. We can rediscover a brilliant, natural intelligence that we all possess and the grace to open to it. Wear comfortable clothing, in layers to adjust to temperature differences (moving around vs. staying still). You can do the workshop barefoot, or wear comfortable indoor shoes if you feel you'll need foot or ankle support. If you plan to wear dance/movement shoes for the workshop, please bring them along and change from your outdoor shoes. A floor mat or blanket is optional, for lying on the floor at the end of each journey. No drums needed for this workshop. Schedule to be posted 3 Day Workshop: On Campus Private Waterfront Rooms with Local Organic Food Options Peacefully nestled within a 434 acre park surrounded by water and wooded hiking trails.
