TouchLife and the Way of the White Taiko · Workshop for everyone · 4 days

TouchLife und der Weg der weißen Taiko

Drum power and mindful touch. “Go with your strength!”

Dates & booking

Unique, powerful and wonderfully nourishing: under the motto “Go with your strength!”, Frank B. Leder and I combine, in this one-of-a-kind format, the archaic energy of Taiko drumming with the deep relaxation of TouchLife massage. A dynamic interplay awaits you — one that rocks, moves you deeply and roots you completely in the here and now.

No experience in drumming or massage is needed. Limited number of participants: a maximum of 22 places.

How TouchLife and Taiko flow together

The workshop thrives on the fluid alternation and mutual inspiration of both elements:

  • ·Mornings: You experience pure power and rhythm as a group, drumming on my large Japanese Taikos. You learn to move from your centre and release your primal energy.
  • ·Afternoons: You immerse yourself in the world of mindful touch. Giving and receiving in turn, you learn well-founded massage techniques of the TouchLife method under Frank's guidance. Drumming in the morning helps you to be even more grounded and centred while giving a massage.
  • ·Evenings: We round off the day together — with meditations, shamanic drum journeys, free dance on the dancefloor or gentle relaxation.

The story behind this workshop

Frank B. Leder first experienced me at one of my concerts in 2014. Fascinated by the energy, he came to one of my Taiko workshops as a beginner in 2015. Out of our shared enthusiasm and the joy of doing things together grew a deep friendship — and a powerful vision.

In June 2016 we brought our core skills together as equals in a joint workshop for the first time. Since then we have continuously developed the structure. We are a dynamic team: each of us is a passionate expert in our own field, and we complement each other wonderfully as we take turns leading.

What participants say
“The combination of relaxing TouchLife massages and power drumming completely won me over.”
“I always wanted to play big drums; here I made a dream come true.”
“After the four days: I've never felt so deeply rooted in the here and now.”
“I'm already very good at massage; through drumming, and learning to move from my centre, I'm even more grounded when I massage.”
“As soon as you set a date, let me know — because I'll be there again!”
“We drum. Attune ourselves. Meet one another. Mindful touch gives us lightness and relaxation. The feeling of rhythm and power in playing the Taiko inspires the next experience of the body.”
