For the seers of don Juan’s lineage, there is the cognition of modern man, and there is the cognition of the shamans of ancient Mexico. Don Juan considered these two to be entire worlds of everyday life which were intrinsically different from one another.

- Carlos Castaneda

According to the seers of ancient Mexico, the speed with which we do, think, react and interact, acts as a measure of cognition.

In many instances, the faster we go, the briefer the intake from our environment, the more mono-dimensional and tunneled become our thoughts, and the more fragmented becomes our cognition, leaving us in the end with energy that looks like fine, scattered particles of dust.

At another extreme, our habitual speed limits us in another way – we respond to our environment far too slowly; we ‘miss the boat,’ or hold things up; our energy becomes inert and stagnant, and we approach the events of our lives with a trepidation and tentativeness that impedes a decision of which direction to go.

According to seers, if we can learn to move with awareness – issues with ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ slip away, and we enter into the cognition of the seers of ancient Mexico as it applies to now, energetically experiencing a cohesion of being, which the students of don Juan refer to as Tensegrity.

In this one-day workshop, participants will practice Tensegrity – magical passes, or movements and breaths, that move us through differing speeds and rhythms, and self-inquiry exercises that help us identify who in our past gave us the ‘green light’ to speed up, or the ‘red light’ to slow down – all as an aid to breaking our current speed, whatever it is, that binds our cognition.

* Additionally, this workshop will contain a 'dreaming sequence' - once our energy has been stirred and loosened by the prior activities of kinesthetic movement and self-inquiry exercises - as a group in a different state of cognition, we will perceptually see where it is that we can go!

This one-day workshop is taught by a new generation of Tensegrity Instructors – students of the students of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs.
