“Rhythm is one of the most powerful pleasures, and when we feel a pleasurable rhythm we hope it will continue, when it does it grows sweeter. When it becomes reliable we are in a kind of Body Heaven”

Ta Ke Ti Na

Ta Ke Ti Na is a rhythmic moving meditation that allows individuals to experience the power of rhythm using the body as the primary instrument. This allows you to contact the rhythm directly allowing for lasting change and learning.

In the experience of Ta Ke Ti Na the group is guided into simple patterns of steps and claps that embody different pulses, all built upon vocal mantras. The leader guides the group into call- response singing which alternates between reinforcing the rhythms and challenging the group to stay in rhythm. The collective gains confidence as it falls out of rhythm and finds its way back into rhythm. Individuals begin transforming inner obstacles as they resolve these challenges.

You are invited to learn at your own pace in a group of varying abilities. Ta Ke Ti Na is an ideal way to break through the beliefs and old patterns that have inhibited you. Everyone can benefit.

What Ta Ke Ti Na provides in the realm of daily life:

  • Profound inner silence & learn to deeply relax.
