Our TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS run from as little as 30 minutes up to ongoing weekly or monthly sessions. Each team member receives a full size African Drum and is lead by professionally trained facilitators. We then let our thinking mind rest and begin to experience real team work by creating present moment awareness...all through the power of rhythm!

A Great Team

• a solid foundation

Our programs are lots of fun, a great release and highly motivating! Team members can easliy draw analogies between the sucessful drumming experience and the working team. A truly joyous and high impact experience that will ignite your team and leave then unified and inspired!

The delegates enter the drumming area to find an authentic African tribal drum in front of their seats. Before we begin the drumming it is necessary for us to become grounded and centered. Using a combination of rhythmic games, breath work, light yoga, and body percussion, we bring the soon to be drummers into the present moment and in sync with each others natural rhythm. With InRhythm facilitators as your guide the tribe then embarks on a rhythmical journey where they explore the potential and the boundaries of each other and the tribe at large. Using the medium of the drum we leave the thinking mind, break away all barriers, refresh the body and are ready to communicate in a completely new and very effective way.

The team will experience the power of the elements necessary for making great music (and business!) in harmony.

1. The common pulse. (Of primary importance)
2. Listening to each other
3. Working together
4. Individual expression with support from the group
5. The importance of following the chief or leader.

This is achieved by using an array of exciting techniques and conducting a “jam” where sub groups play simple rhythms that interlock with each other in such a way as to create beautiful and intricate patterns. The “jam” builds to a fast pace bringing the energy of the group to unexpected heights, then we end in an awesome crescendo of rolling drums created by the tribe leaving them unified, inspired, relaxed and open to each other for the remainder of the event… and into the workplace.

There is then the option for a discussion amongst the group of the analogies between the successful drum circle and the productive work environment. This proves to be a very powerful way for the working team to get a fresh look at how they relate to each other and how they may apply some of the simple principals in which they have just been engaged.
