  Intensive Workshop of the TaKeTiNa Rhythmic Process

  TaKeTiNa is a practice accessible to everyone that develops our musicality and works on—transforms—our being through rhythm.

  The goal of this immersive weekend is to experience the profound and simultaneous presence and letting go in order to find the spontaneous expression of the rhythm that constitutes us and a direct connection to the flow of life.

  During this two and a half day workshop (the integration nights are important!), Baptiste Vaes, accompanied by Giulia Matteucci on the surdo, will guide you through diverse rhythmic landscapes (from simple rhythms to more complex polyrhythms), combining steps, clapping, and singing to awaken your inner body awareness, stimulate receptivity (hearing, seeing, feeling, visualizing), and enhance your ability to let go of control.

  Learning through the body is direct and requires no technical skills. The rhythms become a mirror of our personal process and teach us to embrace greater authenticity.

  Practicing TaKeTiNa requires no prior musical knowledge and invites participants to progress at their own pace. The sessions will be led in English and translated into Italian as needed by the group.

  Practical Information:

  • Dates and times: Friday, February 20 from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. / Saturday, February 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. / Sunday, February 22 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

  From connection to expression

  Intensive workshop on rhythm, voice and ritual

  From individual daily practices to collective celebrations of key life moments, ritual, with its gestures, words/songs and symbols, helps us find meaning in our actions and our very presence.

  The TaKeTiNa process has all the hallmarks of a ritual that connects us to our deepest nature—rhythm—and to a collective movement—rhythm again! — which enhances our quality of presence in the moment.

  For three days, Tania Bosak and Baptiste Vaes invite you to create moments of collective celebration from individual experiences, moments that can be both opportunities for expression and transformation.

  The TaKeTiNa practice in the mornings will be fundamental for:

  • Connect with authenticity
  • Experience the « It » – the binding rhythmic force that unites and grounds
  • Deepen rhythmic awareness and stimulate natural musicality

  The afternoon’s creative development sessions will aim to:

  • Transform story and symbol into embodied expression
  • Co-create rhythm and vocal-based rituals that open space for presence and connection
  • Reclaim rhythm and voice as a shared human langage that connects body, story and spirit

  Tania will guide an immersive process exploring rhythm as a pathway to intuition and ritual: Grounding through rhythm and breath, working with layered rhythmic cycles, movement and simple instruments to build embodied awareness and rhythmic orientation / Using personal stories or symbols as material for exploration through listening, writing, and movement, inviting intuitive rather than interpretive responses / Co-creation of rhythm-based rituals — meditative, communal practices that integrate rhythm, story, and expression beyond performance.

  Baptiste Vaes will guide a vocal improvisation process in three parts: Preparatory exercises to connect the voice to movement and become familiar with the fundamental roles within a singing choir / Developing the choir’s ability to compose in the moment based on shared stories / A creative process evolving from personal reflection to collective rhythmic and vocal expression on the theme “What is important? »

  The workshop is open to everyone. We are not aiming for performance but rather the expression of our being and what constitutes community. It will be conducted in English and translated into French as needed by the group.
