Over the last two years, our think-tank, the ‘Taal Inc. Research & Training’ division (headed by Dr. Anand Godse) has developed ‘Drum Talks’ our customized Corporate Training Sessions module that follows the ‘Awareness – Assessment – Action – Application’ module also developed in-house. With this one/two-day, or ongoing training module, (that uses not only drumming but various other art forms such as dance movement therapy, visual art, drama therapy, Art Based Therapy and known methods such as focus groups, self-report inventories, follow-ups and more) it is our aim to make behavioural life- and soft-skills training fun, interactive, creative and truly effective. To give people a taste of what Drum Talks is, we’ve developed a special session for groups to identify their current physical, mental and social-health score. Knowing and working on one’s overall health score helps us spread awareness of the importance of the same by demonstrating it’s real-time effects and implications. On the international front, both Anand and I have had the honour of speaking about our work at the Third Asian Rhythm Facilitators Conference in Malaysia and the Drum Circle Facilitators Guild Conference in South Carolina, USA.
Over the next five years, it is our aim to truly deliver the value of these programs across the length and breadth of the country. Through the means of this newsletter we will be sharing with you stories, updates and educative information about how the arts can be a tool to have fun, stay healthy and even have some epiphanic experiences.
