Community Classes in Los Angeles: |
 |
Warrior-travelers should have a romance with
knowledge, in whatever form knowledge is presented.
- Don Juan Matus

Dear Tensegrity Community:
In ancient times, in the region that extended from south of
the valley of Mexico to central California, there were certain
meeting places where men and women of different cultures, languages
and regions would gather to share their knowledge; these centers,
don Juan said, were communities of awareness. One such center
was at Teotihuacan.
We are happy to announce that the deep tracking and discovery
taking place in the Cultivating Well-Womb-Being classes in Los
Angeles has opened a new forum for such sharing of knowledge,
in the form of a new series of classes and workshops at the
Cleargreen studio in Los Angeles.
In these classes, instructors and practitioners of Tensegrity
will share their knowledge and experience in areas of their
expertise; this first series of classes and workshops will be
related to the topics explored in the Cultivating Well-Womb-Being
classes: Emotions, Mental Vitality, Movement, Eating, and Sleep
and Rest-which apply for both men and women. These events are
open to the general public.
*Please note that two of these
events are for women only.

Breathing Circle: "A Flow
of Feeling"
Emotions, which we often judge, are unexplored breath patterns. Together participants will practice a simple and profoundly rejuvenating breath to help clear emotional
blocks, reconnect energy circuits, and open a bridge to Spirit.
Presented by Guia Baldo and Nyei Murez.

Announcing A New Cycle of Tensegrity Classes for Beginners
Four Wednesdays: June 17 & 24, July 1 & 8, 2009
On the Wings of Breath |
|
|
Don Juan said that the seers of antiquity viewed breathing as a magical, life-giving act and used it, accordingly, as a magical vehicle.
- Carlos Castaneda
According to the seers of ancient Mexico, specific events of our lives leave artifacts – stagnant patterns of breath and body position – which, left undone, accompany us to future experiences, making moment after moment in our present perceived as moments in our past.
Beyond this, lies another perception – a fluid one, where the perceiver, in a state of relaxed alertness, is capable of shifting to the slightest insinuation of energy, rendering each moment fresh and renewed. This state, seers say, once attained, even momentarily, can remain, accrue, and affect our first as well as our second dreaming attentions.
In this series of classes, participants will be guided through specific movements, breaths, soundings and silence practices – tailored first to determine our current state of breath and then to experience its journey.

Tensegrity is the modern version of magical passes:
movements and positions of body and breath discovered by men and women
shamans who lived in Mexico in ancient times, and taught to Carlos Castaneda,
Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs by their teacher,
don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian from Sonora, Mexico and Yuma Arizona,
and the heir to the lineage of those ancient shamans. The word Tensegrity
was coined by architect and dreamer R. Buckminster Fuller, and is a
combination of tension and integrity, which Carlos
Castaneda saw as a perfect description of the driving forces of the
magical passes, and of the way of being that don Juan Matus taught him:
giving equal attention to all parts of our being, all aspects of our
actions with others, all parts of the scene we are in, and how they
interrelate.
