In the moonlight the mountains around the town were clearly visible and almost recognizable. I tried to orient myself, observing the moon and the stars, as if I were in the consensual reality of everyday life. It was a waning moon, perhaps a day after full. It was high over the horizon. It must have been between eight and nine in the evening. I could see Orion to the right of the moon; its two main stars, Betelgeuse and Rigel, were on a horizontal straight line with the moon. I estimated it to be early December. My time was May.

- Carlos Castaneda, The Art of Dreaming

As our ancestors did in ancient times, modern-day seers – whether in states of everyday or heightened awareness – navigate in coordination with and relation to the stars!
Often, however, the bombardment of both external and internal light and sound from our busy civilizations keeps our connection to the stars at bay.

Responding to this, modern day seers often seek a state of inner silence, or inner presence, to once again open the doorways and pathways to the stars, bringing a broader interchange and perspective, ‘in the hands of Spirit,’ to everyday life.

In this series, participants will have the chance to go deeper in the tracking of energy begun in the “As Above So Below/ As Below So Above” workshops; they will practice the magical passes called The Milky Way, and other forms learned in the workshops, sit in silence in differing directions, aware of the ever-changing constellations above, find a ‘broader perspective’ with the help of Spirit and the stars for an issue in their life, and, whether one lives in the countryside or the city, reignite one’s strong and natural alliance with the heavens.

Class is taught by Tensegrity Instructors – students of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs.

This particular class series is for participants who attended the “As Above So Below/ As Below So Above” Tensegrity Workshops in Madrid 2010 or Joshua Tree 2009 only , and who know 'The Milky Way' form and the 'As Above So Below' form– we will have other open Skype classes in the future!

We encourage you to take this class with a group of fellow Tensegrity practitioners who attended the workshop! Any cost of rental space can be arranged by and divided equally amongst yourselves.

Tensegrity is
the modern practice of the warrior-traveler’s path with heart which don Juan Matus taught his four students: Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. The word ‘tensegrity’ was coined by an architect, scientist, engineer, global thinker and dreamer whom Carlos Castaneda admired: R. Buckminster Fuller. Fuller described tensegrity as a process of tensional integrity—the inherent interdependence of structures such as cells, bodies, and solar systems which are held together by a continuous web of tension (such as gravity) holding together discontinuous islands of compression (such as the sun, planets and moons in the solar system).
    As a modern practice of shamanism, Tensegrity means adapting to our own energy, the energy of sun and stars, the air, water, the land, and of its inhabitants in a way that supports the interdependent integrity of the community that we are, as individual and collective beings. The tools that can help us to do this include the ancient energy-enhancing movements and breaths known as magical passes, as well as tracking and dreaming exercises, all of which we will do in this workshop.
    Tracking exercises are: guided self-examination exercises practiced individually and with a peer witness, which allow one to track not only our physical patterns, but also our related mental and emotional patterns and their consequential behaviors and judgments, which we inherited from our lineage and cultures.
    We can direct the energy and awareness gained from this review to access what don Juan Matus called freedom of perception—the freedom to move past any limiting interpretations of our lineage, upbringing and culture to perceive energy directly, and to dream true interdependence—new possibilities of working with others and with the earth–wherever we are, possibilities which spring from an open heart, from bringing one’s best to the interchange.
