Our friend and elder in the drumming and dance community,

Pat Graesch,

is currently in Hospice. Pat has been an active drummer

and dancer for many years and studied with many masters

who regularly tour to Santa Cruz. He has been bringing Gigi

to class and they both add tremendously to our extended family.

Pat and his son Patrick would like the Drummers to be

caretakers of his Ngoma and dun-dun drums. When we

play them, it will be a direct connection to our good friend.

Many of the places where we go for retreats are alive with

physical beauty or area delicate and serene setting.

Music and dance is hard work......primal, trance inducing,

creatively satisfying and undeniably fun work.
