The programs can be for fun, serious or a mix of both. Each program has it’s own accents and qualities. All programs have lots of humour and community building. And a lot of music and drumming of course :-).
Rhythmical and musical Workshops & Energizers by Beenhakkers Percussion. For instance for community building, team building, conferences, celebrations, fun.
Connecting and Sharing
Looking for, and sharing things that connects you with the others. Not focussing on what separates you from the others. Looking for similarities instead of differences. The focus is therefore on connection and contact. Also on relationship, sharing, exploration, respect and community building.
The rhythm is already in you! So you don’t need to learn rhythm, you just have to discover it. Your personal rhythms, how to listen, how to focus, and how to interact with the other team mates. A facilitated Interactive Rhythm-Circle / Free percussion workshop is not about learning. So it is all about dis-covering and fun.

They are suitable for almost any group of participants or meetings. Including Conference Energizer, Team meetings / retreats, Sales meetings, Campaign / Products launches.

Possible themes
The success of group drumming requires collaboration and listening. But first of all being present in the moment. Therefore all programs, drumcircles, energizers and workshops dynamically explore various themes. Such as Communication, Team working, Active listening, Creativity. But also Risk-taking, Assertiveness, Leadership or Cooperation versus competition.
Each kind of program has its own emphasis and focus.
Rhythmical and Musical Energizers
Create focus and energy in your group. By means of a Conference Energizer full of humour, fun activity and team building. Different options are certainly available. These energisers are surprisingly customisable to (almost) all your wishes.
Boomwhackers Energiser
A fun and humoristic energizers with boomwhackers. In short, boomwhackers are coloured plastic tubes you whack on your hand. They create above all instant fun and connection. I can customize this energizer for any kind of group, occasion, location or theme. From 15 up to a thousand participants, 15-45 minutes. I direct the group into easy to play rhythms.

Interactive Rhythm-Circle / Free Percussion Workshop
Exhilarating longer workshop (up from 60 minutes) with djembes and other percussion instruments. In this program the participants make a mutual connection. They do this by means of playing their own, self invented rhythms on a hand drum.
Thus within the group music everybody creates his/her own rhythm. The facilitator guides the group and gives directions in HOW to play, not WHAT to play. Therefore the group learns how to create together an “in the moment” rhythm. Everyone can explore end express their rhythms in any form that works for them.
