The New Silk Road represents an inward voyage — the greatest distance one can traverse, from the intellect of the head to the empathy of the heart. As you journey with Fred, you’ll explore the treasures of sincere surrender, sharpened intuition, unwavering integrity, boundless love, compassionate listening, deep-seated wisdom, and heartfelt kindness, helping you discover the true essence of being.

Hawaii
The class with Fred Johnson was simply superb. Fred has a natural way of teaching and imparting his wisdom. I am so grateful I signed up for this class as I'd been drawn to learn more about the Sankofa. It has been fulfilling learning about the Sankofic tradition of melodic narrative. I find myself singing and sounding throughout the day now.
Washington, DC
Voice opening, awareness deepening, vital energies resonating — this is healing work at its best!!!
Seattle, Washington
Fred Johnson's passionate, personable, and engaging perspective, presentation and deeply profound sound practices reminded me of the power of my voice, rekindled my passion for sharing my story, and re-opened up my guarded heart to the love, compassion, and healing of self, community, and universe that I knew were dwelling within me all along. I am beyond grateful to have learned traditional African practices I thought might be forever lost to me due to the tragic losses of slavery and the splintered legacies of systemic colonization.
Tolland, Connecticut
I did the breath-song every day. It leads me to the blockades in my body, which sometimes feels like a prison. I continued the breath-song and was able to release and get out of my own prison.

More Praise for Fred Johnson...
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of being in a couple of groups with Baba Fred, in which he guided me to find my… breath. It sounds simple, I know. But sometimes life has a way of knocking it out of you, and you don’t realize it until someone gently says “breathe.” It took me over five years to hear Baba Fred sing and not respond with tears. His voice is soul-stirring. His abandon for letting his light shine without pretenses, and without the negatives of ego, is captivating and freeing at the same time. He’s a true exemplar of “get out of your own way!
Fred Johnson tethers the voice to the spirit, the breath to the song, and the whole self to the driving life force that animates all beings. Fred has been my teacher, mentor, and friend for two decades. I have learned from him the gift of humility and strength, to be a connector among faiths, and to find and elevate the throughline that is the divine breath. Fred’s teachings will infuse you with joy and direction as a fully embodied human, rich with your soul’s purpose.
Clearwater, Florida
I’ve known Fred for over 20 years, and in that time he has provided the framework for the musician that I am now. Working with Fred has given me confidence as an improvisational musician and all-around performer. I’ve also had many chances to attend workshops and classes given by Fred — events that have always provided opportunities to learn new skills as well as new ways to view the world around me. He does exceptional work with veterans, providing a safe and nurturing space for expression and the opportunity for civilians and veterans to interact and co-create. Fred has much to offer as a teacher, spiritual guide, and life coach.
