Netherlands OCT 17 – 19 2025

Scorlewald Hall, 1871 AV Schoorl
Join us for a powerful 2.5-day rhythm retreat in the stunning location of Schoorl, Netherlands.
Led by internationally acclaimed Master TaKeTiNa Teacher Tania Bosak (Australia/Croatia), with assistant, senior teacher Baptiste Vaes, this immersive retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience rhythm as a gateway to deep presence, healing, and transformation.
Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced rhythm practitioner, UPLIFT is an invitation to explore how rhythm, voice, and movement can unlock your intuition, dissolve limitations, and return you to a deeper sense of self.
TaKeTiNa is a unique, immersive rhythm process that combines voice, movement, and percussion to lead participants into deeply meditative and regenerative states. Through layered rhythmic cycles involving stepping, clapping, and vocalizing, it fosters presence, creativity, and nervous system balance. Developed by Reinhard Flatischler, TaKeTiNa is used worldwide for musical growth, personal development, and embodied transformation.
Tania Bosak currently teaches the TaKeTiNa rhythm process at the Conservatorium of Music in Brussels. She integrates this practice not only in music education but also across her broader work in theatre, performance, and movement. TaKeTiNa forms a core part of her creative methodology, supporting embodied presence, rhythm awareness, and transformation in both her stage work and in private coaching, hypnosis and counselling sessions.
What participants say
“Tania Bosak is magnificent – joyful, passionate, fully present. Complexity becomes something warm, airy, and effortlessly flowing. This is pure joy of experimentation and play.”
– Participant, HfMT University of Music & Dance, Cologne
“A remarkable leader… Tania stretches us beyond what we think is possible while holding space with ease, wisdom, and lightness. In the first minutes of her workshop, I knew I was in the presence of a true leader of transformation.”
– Helen Chadwick, composer & workshop leader
“You communicate your joy for life through your teaching. I feel so grateful… I can feel myself changing, becoming a person I never knew I was.”
– Hilde, participant
