I had the chance to experience Tania Bosak once before
at a TaKeTiNa intensive seminar at
HfMT – University of Music and Dance in Cologne,
together with Christoph Barth.

And yes… wow! I love her playful,
joyful and passionate approach, her authentic way of teaching.
You can truly feel the depth of her diverse training and
her vast international experience across
multiple art forms and in rhythm education –
fully present and engaging all the senses.

Once again – so magnificent!
Pure joy of experimentation and play.
Anyone who knows me knows – this is totally my thing.
Moving!
Complexity transformed into something
warm, airy, and effortlessly flowing.

Tania is a remarkable leader.

She gives not only permission but agency to her participants whilst inspiring and stretching us beyond what we think is possible, yet always creating an ease and a relaxation.

She has an ability to read a room of over fifty people and to see each person’s ability and challenges in order to adapt the activity from moment to moment to keep everyone engaged and enjoying.

As a master Takatina teacher, Tania brings a rich wealth of experience. Surrounding that there is her life of exploration into states of being, trance, dreams, transformation, creativity, performance, music and meditation, as well as her breadth of life experience and heritage.

Yet she leads with a great lightness, a humour and an ease. Drops of wisdom are shared, or an experience that resonates, or a reference to another practice that speaks to this one. Tania also brings the group to an awareness of this practice in relation to the wider world and how it can heal, transform, calm and create.

To put this tribute in context, I personally have decades of experience of leading and also lead on a women’s leadership programme, so I am lucky enough to have met many wonderful women leaders.

In the first few minutes of Tania’s workshop, just in her introduction, I knew I was in the presence of a great, a leader of transformation and of healing, of change and of peace. And in this world right now, as inspiration and as life force, we need this calibre and this loving in our leaders.

A long weekend well spent....3 days of immersion into another layer of musical, creative, and
personal development with @taniabosak,
an interdisciplinary artist and musician.

It was magnificent!

Along the Taketina training journey, I realize I have been opening myself to others much more than ever. I have long been very shy and insecure with others, thinking with exaggeration that anyone out of my close circle could be a threat. It was out of my control and indeed linked to a disproportionate fear of the unknown. This training was of course challenging but helped me to allow myself, very gradually, securely and effectively, to trust in me and in others as well.
