9-12 July 2026
THE RETREAT
ESSENCE
The Rhythm Space is open to drummers and musicians of all levels. From absolute beginners to seasoned professionals, everyone is welcome. The focus is on collective musical experience, where different levels meet and unity matters more than individual perfection. All material can be adapted to each participant. We aim to sound better together through shared learning, community energy and the nature around us.
FACILITATORS
Ben Aylon (drummer for Estas Tonne, Shye Ben Tzur) is a percussion virtuoso and xalam player with deep roots in the Senegalese rhythm culture. For more than fifteen years he has worked closely with master drummers Doudou and Aly Ndiaye Rose, pushing the Senegalese drumming style to new hights of expression. Check Ben's work in the videos in the page bottom or: Website • Youtube
Raphael Ravanu brings depth and connection through Qigong, breathwork, sound journeys and authentic conversations that expand the inner space. Rhythm, bodywork and awareness merge into a holistic process for people who seek depth rather than performance.
KNOWLEDGE
During the retreat Ben will guide us into the world of rhythm through the Senegalese drumming practice. Senegalese traditions hold essential keys to understanding rhythm. Through stories from his journeys we will learn how rhythm shapes daily life, how it exists around us at all times and how it connects people.
