Classes for Beginners:
Forging the Dreaming Attention: A Celebration of Rhythm
Four Saturdays: September 6, 13, 20 and 27, 2008 |

Shamans break time’s flux. Time, in the fashion we measure it, doesn’t exist when one dreams the way shamans dream. Shamans stretch or compress time at will. For them, time is not a matter of minutes or hours or days, but an altogether different matter.
Florinda Matus
In other words, when we move beyond our subliminal attachment to the clock, we discover rhythm, and that we are oscillating beings, Florinda Matus said. In this class, we will practice magical passes from Masculinity and the Womb Series, in a form that calls us to tap into and experience synchronous and contrasting rhythms, to help us become more deeply aware of our own rhythms and those of other sentient beings. Bring a willing voice and spirit, clapping and tapping hands and feet, and if you wish, musical instruments!
Cost: $125
Fundamentals of Tensegrity (for first-time participants): 1 to 2:30
p.m. Register

A
Romance with Knowledge:
Reaching the Dreaming Body
There is only one way. Seers call it sheer understanding.
I call it a romance with knowledge. It's the drive seers use to
know, to discover, to be bewildered.
—
Don Juan Matus
For the seers of ancient Mexico, freedom-that adventure
without end for moments beyond self and its concomitant thoughts,
words and feelings-can be touched through the discipline of having
a romance with knowledge-submersion into something other
than the self: the quest, thirst, love, and understanding of knowledge
in whatever form it presents itself.
In this class, participants will practice the arts
of dreaming-the movement of the assemblage point away from
its usual position of self-reflection-and stalking: fixing
that new position. This will be done through the practice of the magical
passes, and through the exploration and explication of knowledge by
means of text and topics, all bringing a necessary cohesion to that
aspect we hardly ever consciously use: our dreaming body.
