Join a dynamic mindfulness experience using Taiko drumming and rhythm to reconnect mind and body through sound.
Rooted in the spirit and lineage of Japanese taiko, this experience integrates mindfulness and embodied awareness.
What Makes This Workshop Different?
This is not a regular Taiko drumming class. 🥁🌿
While we use Japanese Taiko drumming as a central part of the experience, the primary focus of this workshop is mindfulness using rhythm, breath, and sound as pathways to greater present-moment awareness.
Through this experience, you will:
🤝 Center yourself through mindful breathing, rhythm, and sound
🧘 Cultivate present-moment awareness by noticing your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and surroundings
🤍 Reconnect with yourself in a supportive and welcoming environment
✨ Explore mindfulness in an active, embodied way without needing to sit still
The workshop is designed as an opportunity to pause from everyday demands, turn your attention inward, and explore how rhythm and sound can support a greater sense of grounding, awareness, and well-being.
All are welcome to participate in a spirit of respect and cultural appreciation.
No prior taiko experience necessary.
Participant’s Voice
“Even though we are all beginners and we didn’t know how to play Taiko (and are a little nervous and trying our best to learn), when you see the big smile on instructor’s face, how much she enjoys drumming reminded me to just have fun and don’t worry about making mistakes!”
— Ms. J“This workshop is a wonderful blend of learning to listen on a deeper level, taking more time to connect with the drum, and a gratifying release of energy that needs to be let go to create space for new intentions going forward.”
— Ms. M“I have not felt very present in my day to day life, and this brought me into the present moment in a way that I had not done in a while.
Overall, I feel much lighter in myself than I did before.”
— Mr. J
