A Weekend Didjeridoo Immersion:  Intuitive Music Making & The Power of Breath

A Weekend Didjeridoo Immersion: Intuitive Music Making & The Power of Breath

Friday, June 30 — Sunday, July 2Fri, Jun 30 — Sun, Jul 2

Omega Institute, 150 Lake Dr , Rhinebeck, NY 12572

The didgeridoo was developed by Aboriginal peoples of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago. Its deep soothing tone has a grounding and meditative effect, using a special breathing technique called circular breathing.

Playing the didgeridoo has been shown to have health benefits. In addition to toning the abdominal muscles, a 2006 study in the British Medical Journal found that it helped reduce snoring and sleep apnea by strengthening muscles in the upper airway.

Guided by award-winning teaching artist Stu Fuchs, learn a four-step process to play the didgeridoo, including how to circular breathe.

Through yogic breathing, mindfulness meditation, and creative music improvisation games, connect with your innate musicality and make music in a playful and supportive community.

No music experience required. Participants are encouraged to bring their own didgeridoo, hand drums, and other instruments to jam on -- no matter what your experience with music making.

“Ukulele Zen” is a unique method created by award-winning teaching artist Stu Fuchs that weaves music study with mindful movement and accessible mindfulness practices from the Plum Village tradition of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.

These practices will nurture your connection to the intuitive musician within and help you access a more relaxed technique so you can enjoy your playing for longer with less discomfort.
