Rhythm Play!™ Facilitation Training Intensive Overview

Empower your facilitation: use Rhythm Play!™

Introduction to the Intensive

Today more than ever, development of the ‘people asset’ requires innovative and dynamic programming. To create effective learning situations, curricula, while being substantiated with necessary pedagogic information, must also be engaging and encompass life lessons and core values. Presentations must grab the learner’s attention by providing experiential activities that are relevant, motivating, and memorable.

Rhythm Play!™ training programs offer research-proven, rhythm-based experiences that have been shown to create neurological receptivity to learning and change.

Why use rhythm?

For Corporate Programming
Powerful leadership necessitates the potent skills that are synchronous with team development. All the skills and tools that promote unity, alignment, depth and winning energy in a team, are the tools that cutting edge leaders utilize and deploy.

Great organizations take advantage of the fact that the emotional commitment is even more powerful than the rational commitment, and leads to total engagement.

Rhythm programming offers tools to access the reference point of total engagement, with team and leadership skill development occurring simultaneously.

For Community and Youth Development Programming
Utilizing drums and rhythm based programming, youth become energized and directly sense the power of their expression and the power of working together. They break down barriers, create shared vision, and celebrate success. Growth in youth development occurs when internal awareness directly changes, yielding new awareness and behaviors. But what creates this kind of inner change for young people?

  • Experiences that engage youth on levels other than strictly mental;
  • Experiences that engage as many of the 5 senses as possible; and,
  • Experiences that are novel and promote true innovations in thought and behavior.

Rhythm programming offers engaging learning contexts, with affective and leadership skill development occurring simultaneously.
