An Online Tensegrity Class to prepare for Germany:

Singing the…

Song of the Plumed Serpent:
Dreaming a New Story for Now, 2012 and Beyond

*Please make sure to double check your local time since some countries will already have changed to winter/summer time and others not yet. Here is a website where you can check your local time: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock

We all tell stories about ourselves based upon the experiences of our lives – how we have physical prowess based upon our winning a 10K race; how we can never learn another language save our mother tongue because we unsuccessfully took several classes; how we are good listeners because we feel others never really listen to us.

All of these stories become our ‘identities’ and flavor, from the moment of our creation of them, a lens through which we view the world for the rest of our lives.

But what if we could pause, acknowledge and review one of these stories, or identities, call the ineffable, the Spirit, the mystery, to intervene and retell our story in an entirely different way.

Then we would begin to experience the presence of the Plumed Serpent – that ancient meso-American creature of transformation – and be able to henceforth walk consciously forward singing a different song, telling a different story, for the rest of our lives.

In this on-line class, practitioners will be guided to find a scene from their lives and identify the story it tells, so that after the practice of some movements of The Plumed Serpent Form, they can write, tell and sing a different story about their lives.

Newcomers are especially welcome to come early for a short introduction into the work of the seers of ancient Mexico and the practice of some magical passes. Others are welcome to attend also.

This online class may be taken as a member of a Tensegrity practice group, or on your own. We encourage groups to join together for the class!

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.
