TAKETINA Rhythm Process
TaKeTiNa is a method created in the 70's by the Austrian musician Reinhard Flatischler that uses rhythm as a tool to work the body, mind and senses. It is a collective, meditative and musical process for human development that transports us to an inner dimension where transformation and joy take place.

Taketina is a completely new way of learning, experiencing, and understand the connections among rhythm, music, and individual evolution. Our body is an instrument that creates rhythm at all times. Through the voice, the words, the claps, walking, breathing, we reconnect ourselves with the innate wisdom of the body.There are many levels to Taketina. At it's simplest it is a means of having fun with music from the perspective of the body.

Taketina does not simply promote creativity and musicality; rather, creative-musical learning is closely tied to the growth of human qualities. Two basic abilities in particular are of importance both within music and in daily life: flexibility and connection. As these become an integral part of your being, you will find that rhythm will guide you to inner quiet, centeredness and aliveness.
