The shamans of ancient Mexico dreamed together…something in us takes the lead and suddenly we find ourselves sharing the same view with other dreamers.
                                                                              - Don Juan Matus

According to the shamans of don Juan Matus's lineage, the second gate of dreaming was the name given to the possibility of sentient beings to move from dream to dream to dream. For those shamans, this was a shared endeavor, practiced ardently in the first attention, or the realm of everyday life -- signaling the opportunity to expand one's attention beyond the scope of one's individual dream into dreaming with others. Don Juan's students said this shift in emphasis from Me to We forms the basis of a community, in which a perceptual shift in one member of the community can initiate a shift in the whole community. Shamans consider this adaptability to be innate in human beings, as it is among other living communities, such as the solar system, groves of trees, bands of coyotes, groups of lizards, migrating birds, and industrious insects.

In this Practice Event, a new generation of Tensegrity instructors will guide participants in the art of Tensegrity: practicing magical passes and exercises in stalking the self, helping each to gather the energy and awareness and to groom the fluid resilience needed for dreaming together.

Though special emphasis is given to instruction for newcomers, the class is open to all participants in the Practice Event.

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.
