Profound rhythmic orientation can only be achieved by learning to alternate between synchronization and de-synchronization. TaKeTiNa is the first rhythm work that is able to balance order and chaos, allowing participants to go though entirely new experiences. Straining, rigidity, and control can be transformed within this process in a short time, opening awareness to the experience of being carried by rhythm and increasing vitality and ease. Each time participants find their way back to the basic pulse they experience rhythm on a more profound level. Simultaneously, they gain more stability. These fluctuations can lead to a moment when one is able to perceive order and chaos at the same time. Inner knowing arises that rhythm cannot be lost anymore. A profound trust in the rhythmic flow occurs within the participants.
This directly transfers to daily life. Chaotic life situations lose their dreadful quality. When turmoil arises, you are able to remember this inner awareness that knows how to re-orient itself. This builds deep trust in life as well.

For the first time in human history we have access to an abundance of different musical voices on our planet. As we analyze recordings even from the most remote corners of the world we have evidence that all music emerges from the same primal rhythmic movements. These are the same movements TaKeTiNa leads its participants into. They become a physical experience which opens a door to this primal rhythmic knowledge - a potential that has been forgotten over millennia by the western civilized world. Participants from different countries report concordantly that experiencing these rhythms is like coming home.

The TaKeTiNa Process activates the inherent ability in humans to send and receive information on several channels at the same time. This expands the possibilities in our perception and at the same time is a brilliant tool to deal with the endless flood of information in modern life.
Rhythm is a perfect medium to activate the potential that is dormant within every human being. It opens the world of simultaneous perception joyfully and with ease. Rhythm is a mirror of life - complex and multi-layered. Guiding participants simultaneously into different rhythms in stepping, clapping, and in the voice highlights the multi-layered aspect in the TaKeTiNa process. Whenever these rhythms can be realized at the same time, the simultaneous perception has opened and will be available also daily life.

The TaKeTiNa process allows you to stay in our own pace while you are still part of an unfolding musical group process. Beginners and professionals alike are able to learn in one circle together an work at their own edge. Individuality and collective learning work together in this process.

Learning rhythm and music with the TaKeTiNa process implies a human learning process as well. Everything that hinders our life is reflected during the process as rhythmic disability and can be transformed by the learning process which unfolds in TaKeTiNa. This is why TaKeTiNa is also used in different forms of therapy.
