Theme: Finding Balance Through Rhythm
Facilitator(s): Zorina Wolf
Sponsor: Village Heartbeat

Contact: Zorina Wolf, 360-681-5407, 650-743-6252, zorina@villageheartbeat.com
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"."

Introduction to TaKeTiNa:
Leader: Zorina Wolf of Village Heartbeat Studio in Sequim, WA
Surdo player: Colleen Caffrey from DrumRise in Atlanta, GA

Using our feet to be in rhythm is a natural part of our development as a human. Our childhood games of jumping rope, hopscotch, and ball-bouncing help us fine-tune balance, spatial orientation, and timing. We also use rhymes and songs to accompany these activities and support “keeping time.”

Come into the TaKeTiNa rhythm circle and explore your relationship between the ground beneath you, your voice, and your hands clapping or using a rattle.
You can make your journey into rhythm as simple or complex as you wish, at the same time that you can rest in your connection with the ground beneath your feet.

Info:

Rhythm is an on-going, neutral phenomenon in our world. Whether we are paying attention to each moment or letting time flow by, there is consistency – sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, twenty-four hours in each day.

We live within the fabric of rhythm that guides us deeply and seamlessly in the present moment. In our personal life we might not even see this until we turn our attention toward it. Listening to our heartbeat, feeling our breath, hearing the patterns of our speech, brings us closer and closer to the rhythmic background sustaining our daily lives.

In the TaKeTiNa rhythm circle we consciously connect to everyday rhythm.

We stand together in a circle speaking rhythmic syllables. These audible words guide us into simple steps and over time, more complex patterns in hand claps. As the rhythm continues to move us we find a new way to enter the flow of space and time.

Suddenly, we are an intrinsic part of something bigger than ourselves. We are part of the creation of rhythm and at the same time carried by it.
