Towards the times: Facilitation that nurtures people's souls and possibilities

At the heart of being a DCF expert is the belief that rhythm can promote human potential. You can hear the human potential springing up through the groove on the drum circle. The potential of humans to create grooves is not limited to drum circles. The DCF creates the opportunity to challenge people, listen to beings much larger than themselves, and allow them the freedom to interact with themselves in new ways. Human potential goes beyond the groove. Entering 2021, we began to focus on the resurrection. Encouraging people to reach their potential beyond the groove has become more important than ever. Let's talk together how we can encourage people to come into contact with their potential.

Vasundura Das (notation in the film industry is Vasundara Darth) Singer, composer, actress, drum circle facilitator

Multifaceted singer, songwriter, composer, actress, speaker and Vasundura Das are both drum circle facilitators and co-representatives of drum jams. Drum Jam was founded by Roberto Naran and Vasundra Das and is now one of the pioneering groups in the Indian drum circle movement. To date, we have provided approximately 500,000 people, both representatives from a wide range of disciplines, with the opportunity to experience music through collective drumming.
In addition to his extensive musician learning and experience, Vasundura studied drum circle facilitation with Arthur Hull, the founder of the global drum circle movement, and also studied Health Rhythms with Christine Stevens. I was surprised. During the period in which infection of the new corona virus spreads, in the name of VR drum jam online,
open the session by online, and Facilitation.

The role of voice and vibration for physical and mental health

 

Nada yoga is also known as voice yoga. Vasundra came to the study that the source of all creation in the world was "sound." The source of the sound is vibration, and we think that the strongest tool for experiencing the vibration is our own voice, and while playing the Indian folk instrument Tanpura, with the voice in a state of mindfulness. I will give a lecture on vibration. Last time, I gave a lecture on 5 basic breathing methods using Nashika Mudra. The music therapist who attended her Nada Yoga highly evaluated it as useful for the basics of vocalization in the elderly. This time, we will have you watch the video of the previous lecture "Breathing" in advance and proceed to the vocalization method that matches the chakra.

When attending a live performance, please prepare a chair that allows you to sit in a good posture.

Born in Tokyo in 1957. Graduated from the University of Tokyo. When I was a student, I traveled alone to Asia and Latin America. Aiming to change from the buoyant world, I got a job at an advertising company and struggled from the sales position. After studying organizational development at the California Institute for Integrated Studies (CIIS), where he took leave and studied abroad, he woke up to a participatory learning style called a workshop. After returning to Japan, while working at a company, he practiced many workshops to reconnect people to people, people to nature, people to himself, people to society, and facilitation courses to create participatory places.

He retired early in 2012 and became a professor at Doshisha University, and has been involved in liberal arts education at Tokyo Institute of Technology since 2015. In 2013, he participated in a three-day basic training held in Nakajima, Ehime Prefecture, on the island of the Seto Inland Sea, and met Arthur Hull.

Think Arthur Hull-Rebuilding the Community with Rhythm

While the situation of coronavirus infections has improved, it is clear that those who are clamoring for essential face-to-face connections, those who are tired of the online format, are rushing into our community like a tsunami.

 

As drum circle facilitators, we have the tools to meet people's needs.

 

Our main goal is to bring out the potential of human beings through rhythm, but for those who plan and manage rhythm events as a professional and as a business, building a community is the next step.

If you haven't started building a community as a drum circle facilitator, now is your chance.

 

If you already have a relationship that allows you to interact with the drum circle participants, it's time to rebuild it.

 

To reconnect with the lost community in a cave-like situation.

 

The session will discuss the elements, activities and concepts that Uncle Arthur can use to rebuild the community through rhythm.
