Description

Sound Breath Rhythm Movement: The Original Technologies -  An Embodied Journey with the Original Technologies

 

In a world flooded with digital noise and disembodied routines, this immersive workshop invites you to return to the original technologies—breath, rhythm, movement, and sound—as gateways to self-awareness, healing, and integration. The workshop will include a sound bath, breathwork, rhythm work and movement. We will work with the Darbuka, a hand drum from the Middle East and North Africa. You’ll learn accessible, archetypal rhythms that bypass the analytical mind and awaken a deeper knowing.

Finally, these threads are woven into guided movement exercises that allow you to embody what you’ve heard, breathed, and played. This movement is not performance—it is presence. 

No prior experience in music or movement is necessary.


Duke Hunter has been a student of music and rhythm more than 20 years. His interest is in the folkloric and popular musical traditions of the world, especially the percussion idioms of Brazil, Cuba, West Africa, the Arab world, and the modern drum set. Duke is currently the Artistic Director at Casa Cazador, a cultural house on the East End of Houston, offering classes and workshops in meditative arts and cultural education.

Farida Meguid started teaching yoga in 2001 and continues to lead classes and yoga teacher trainings. In 2016, she began playing Alchemy Sound Bowls – singing bowls infused with real gems and metals – creating restorative sound baths for students and clients. Believing that spaciousness in the body translates to spaciousness in the mind, Farida has taught classes and workshops to adults and children in studio settings, private schools, DeBakey High School, The Houston Ballet, Brene Brown’s The Marble Jar, Discovery Green, recovery centers, and various Houston communities.
