| “You must treat your dreams—including yourself--as you would treat your beloved.”
--Florinda Donner-Grau

According to seers, the energy that supports dreaming is the energy of affection: loving acknowledgement of each aspect of the total dream. That includes affection for the dreamer, as we are also, each of us, a dream! We are dreamt by ourselves, by each other, and above all, by Infinity itself, traveling on the sea of awareness in this experience we call life. So any internal dialogue of comparing ourselves to others or feeling unworthy simply means we have forgotten our origin. Remembering ourselves, and affection for ourselves and others, and the dreams we are dreaming and living becomes natural.
In this class, we will practice magical passes and self-inquiry exercises to help us free the area of the throat, which don Juan called the center for decisions—and to remember who we are. And together we will learn and sing a simple and sacred song of self-care, each creating our own unique elements within it so that we leave with a shared yet individualized Song to further awaken the Dreamer and the Dream that each of us truly is.
Please bring a tennis ball, if you have one, and a smile.
Some general feedback from our last class:
… at the end of the class, my whole body was wide, brilliant, the singing exercise made me feel alive because of the energy `fluidity. I was connected with all around the world .
I felt the strong sensation that I needed to invent myself again and started new activities in order to be a human being wider and full. -- A. from Spain
Once again I am finding that music indeed is a way out of my normal mindset. Sometimes when I am getting too wound up I find myself humming a song and it brings me back to the moment.” M. from Los Angeles
(The class) left me very invigorated and this energetic tingling lasts now as I write!
This time I felt the atmosphere in and around me vibrating with some sort of light vibratory charge. When I tried to define and how this felt it felt it like a celebratory mood mixed with the mood of like when we are children and there is this interesting travel to magical places that we anticipate. R. from France
I succeeded in reaching first gate of dreaming and here are some ideas about that…
I am pretty sure that man must love this world in order to dream. To love water he drinks, his surrounding etc. I felt great love, affection for my environment and for my life on these dreaming days very clearly. N. from Serbia
Thank you for Wonderful workshop! Love from Japan.

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.
