Rara Avis

Alex King-Harris — aka Rara Avis — is a musician, breathwork facilitator, and movement guide with 25+ years at the intersection of breath, sound, and embodiment. Classically and jazz-trained, his path led into ethnomusicology and electronic production, where he helped shape the sound of Desert Dwellers, Shamans Dream, and Liquid Bloom, and released work on Six Degrees Records — crafting soundscapes designed to deepen consciousness and embodiment practices worldwide. Before production, Alex studied intensive pranayama with traditional teachers and apprenticed in therapeutic applications of breath and sound for cancer patients — experiences that crystallized his understanding of music as medicine. A pioneer in the ecstatic dance movement, he serves as both DJ and facilitator, and is Executive Producer and Co-Founder of Dance Temple Gathering. Beyond the decks, Alex mentors youth through rites of passage, supports addiction recovery through sound, and guides voice liberation work. As Co-Founder of EvolveWell, he continues building at the intersection of technology, creativity, and holistic wellness — always returning to his role as a student of life.
