TaKeTiNa - Atlanta
Friday, September 16th -
Sunday September 18th, 2011
Clarkston Community Center
Clarkston, GA
DrumRise
and Kumandi Drums & Healing are pleased to announce the third TaKeTiNa
workshop in Atlanta this fall, Friday September 16th through
Sunday September 18th, 2011. I have attended five TaKeTiNa weekends since 2004,
and they have all been powerful experiences personally as well as musically and
rhythmically. I have shared some of the process with many of the students in my
drumming classes to enhance the learning of polyrhythms, and the Living Mandala
of Rhythm was also inspired by TaKeTiNa.
This event is co-produced by myself and my
good friends Amy
Jackson and Colleen Caffrey of DrumRise in Atlanta, about whom you can
learn more at www.drumrise.net Amy and
Colleen, along with David Baycura, are half-way through their three-year TaKeTiNa teacher certification
process.
TaKeTiNa is a fun and challenging
transformational experience, as well as a rhythm workshop, as well as a
healthy way to experience your connection to the innate rhythms of your body
as it relaxes into the flow of nature and the earth. All of this takes place
in a circle of safe and supportive community as it is created by all
participating.
During the weekend you will undertake
three or four rhythm journeys each day. You will not play any musical
instruments, except occasionally a simple basket shaker. Your voice, your
feet, and your clapping hands will be your instruments. Each journey begins
with the group standing in a circle, softly chanting simple drum syllables
like "ga, ma, la." Footsteps are added at essential places in the
chant, and finally handclaps in other places. As you are able to allow it, the
resonant energy field of the group carries you into a deeper state of being.
From this place, you can explore the ways you are familiar with learning with
your mind; find the origins of internal pressures to show the group you are
competent, and heal them; rediscover your natural playfulness; and risk a new
type of surrender and openness to learning with your body and your being. The
choice is always there to try to get it right, or simply stay connected to
yourself and allow the movement to come to you. It's a profound, gentle
process of awareness that can bring great insight, challenge and release, and
powerful creativity in all areas of your life.

the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known.
We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had thought to
find an abomination, we shall find a god. And where we had thought to slay
another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we
will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be
alone, we will be with all the world. -Joseph Campbell, scholar, author and
mythologist (1904-1987)
