Recovery drumming

I have had the honor of being asked to work with a very distinguished recovery organization here in Santa Monica. It is rewarding and enlightening work. I show up with 6 of my sacred blessed djembes master-carved in Ghana and we drum softly and meditatively for an hour. The results are exciting and profound. I have met a number of interesting people who are staying in these very nice homes for a month of recovery and rest. They are often times shy about hitting the drum or they are unsure of their own skill, or they are put off by the sound but in the end the nurturing downbeat soothes their soul and they are brought into a state of grace that heals their soul and their minds.  Healing with others sharing the downbeat grooves is a great way of making a difference in the world.
