When I talk to someone for the first time about Rhythm Full Circle, often that person claims to be “rhythmically challenged” or have “no rhythm.” How can that be? Your heart beats. Your breath flows in and out. Cycles of moons and seasons regulate your life. Our world is a symphony of vibration, pulse, and pattern.
We are rhythmic beings and being in rhythm is our natural state. When circumstances interrupt that state, when unnatural or artificial rhythms are imposed upon us,
we feel dis-ease. We suffer.
A rhythm circle, based on the TaKeTiNa Rhythm Process, is a place to re-connect with our natural state. There is no agenda, schedule, exam, or grade. We don’t know how far we will go—the journey itself is the goal. In that, there can be no failure: We always achieve our goal.
Won’t you join us? Check the schedule.
…from the inside out

You don’t need to play an instrument. People from all paths come together to transform their relationship to music, to each other, and to life. Bring your curiosity! More info…
TaKeTiNa comes to the Big Island of Hawai‘i!
Join me, Deborah, and my colleague Heidi Lawson at

LISTEN to the report on NPR: Rhythm in music is about timing — when notes start and stop. And now scientists say they’ve found a curious pattern that’s common to musical rhythm. It’s a pattern also found in nature.
I’ve just returned from the
Bay Area and a week of immersion
in the TaKeTiNa field.
This patch of sidewalk lies
just beside the community center
where all major TaKeTiNa
trainings, workshops, and
other events have taken place
over the last ten years.
I’ve tread this path many times,
but this time it held
particular significance.
Perhaps, you, too, will find
the question intriguing.
