Sobre mí

Músico, intérprete y profesor de ritmo y polifonía para bailarines y actores en el Conservatorio de Mons, Baptiste Vaes lleva unos treinta años dirigiendo coros, centrándose en canciones tradicionales e improvisación vocal. Actúa regularmente en el escenario como cantante, improvisador y director de coro. Baptiste estudió improvisación libre en la clase de Garrett List en el Conservatorio de Lieja y se formó en terapia de sonido y musicoterapia con Pat Muffit Cook antes de descubrir el poder reestructurante y regenerativo del proceso rítmico TaKeTiNa. Posteriormente, se formó en Australia con su fundador, Reinhard Flatischler, y Tania Bosak. Facilita esta práctica desde marzo de 2013 y obtuvo su certificación de Profesor Sénior de TaKeTiNa en noviembre de 2024.

    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.

    Immersion

    TaKeTiNa and Sound Baths retreat

    We often move through our days on autopilot, with a full mind, a tense body and a shortened breath. Yet the moment we step into a space where rhythm and sound become anchors, something in us settles, remembers and realigns.

    For five days, we invite you into an immersion where movement, voice, rhythm and the vibrations of the instruments become a true place of regeneration. Here, sound envelops you, the body naturally finds its grounding again and nature softens everything around you.

    The TaKeTiNa sessions guide you through simple cycles that gradually unfold into more complexity, allowing the mind to let go step by step. An inner structure emerges, the breath expands and presence returns.

    The sound baths take you into a more internal journey. Gongs, bowls, drums and voice create a vibrational landscape that recenters and deeply relaxes.

    Taking time for a retreat in a positive environment, surrounded by nature and within a constructive group dynamic, developing within ourselves a resilient structure, our own regenerative resources… a welcoming inner home!

    This retreat is an invitation to

    • regulate your nervous system in depth
    • reconnect with vitality and embodied presence
    • feel supported by nature, by the group and by your own inner resources

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