TaKeTiNa
The TaKeTiNa Rhythm Process is a unique transformational music learning process, which utilises polyrhythms and cross rhythms by integrating the feet, hands, and voice. As well as being highly musical TaKeTiNa is a deeply relaxing and meditative process that requires no musical experience.
TaKeTiNa provides a mirror for personal processes that enables participants to transform patterns inhibiting ones life and relationships.
Participants are guided into a state of rhythmic simultaneity, where one experiences a mode of being both active, and at the same time passive. Sooner or later as the established steps and claps are challenged, participants experience a state of falling in and out of rhythm.
As a group process TaKeTiNa facilitates access to the body’s intrinsic rhythmic knowledge. Instead of being taught random rhythm patterns, participants are guided into the experience of rhythm archetypes - the underlying structure of all forms of music.
Participants interested in a holistic movement and voice-oriented method of relaxation and meditation, as well as those wanting to gain a deeper rhythmic knowledge, can benefit from this process.
As a nonlinear learning process TA-KE-TI-NA allows participants to go at their own pace of learning.

Voice Movement Therapy Practitioner (R)Hi Tania, Thanks so much for running such a wonderful and inspiring workshop on the weekend - it really was an amazing experience. I keep telling people it changed my life!! I haven't been able to connect with rhythm so deeply like that before...

I just wanted to thank you again for such an enlightening, liberating experience. It has just made me fall even more in love with the wonders of music and it's relationship to our own rhythm, mind, intuition and bodies.

Dear Tania
Many, many thanks for your wonderful session at our Summer School. People found it truly inspiring and I wouldn't be at all surprised if you were approached for further sessions, either for TOSA or for the schools of some members.

Thank you so much for a beautiful TaKeTiNa evening for Yirriba Choir. It was lovely to sink into the work, and to see what happens!
I personally was unavoidably preoccupied, but felt the benefits nonetheless. I have continued to practise the steps each day and to feel the rhythms, and may be able to apply this learning in my work as a Creative Arts Therapist. Thanks again. Warm wishes.

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I really enjoyed the TaKeTiNa experience last Sunday — it was an interesting and thought provoking process for me personally, but it was also enlightening to see how our respective fields of rhythm work and music therapy share a lot of similar ideas and theories.

That was truly an amazing weekend! I feel quite different...and I couldn't get over how easy it was to lead my choir the following week. It verged on effortlessness!
