The Tao of Rhythm
Rhythm is a transcendent energy. It unifies us, and gives us vibrancy and flow. From our cells to ourselves, rhythm raises us up to be more than the sum of our parts. Rhythm gives us life!
In traditional cultures there is a respect for the deep rhythmic structures that sustain us. Everyone participates in song, music and dance, unlike our modern “audience and expert” culture. The good news is that these rhythmic structures are there, deep within all of us, but a modern lifestyle can dull and distract us from accessing this potency of rhythm. We need to befriend and nurture this resource within.
For over 30 years Fabian and Henning have been leading the Tao of Rhythm. Today, these master teachers will show you practices to tap into your natural inner rhythm. They will gently and spaciously lead you as a group, so nobody will be in the “spotlight”. Simple stages of chanting, stepping and clapping let you create joyful complex polyrhythms.
You will sense rhythm’s ability to re-unify your sensory, emotional and mental experiences. This confluence of head, heart and body can feel like “coming home”.
We need the resonance of these rhythms of celebration, healing and consolation. We need to reclaim this essential part of our humanity...for inner peace in a noisy and rushing world, for resilience in the midst of chaos, for joining with others, for surprise and for joy.
