The Carlos Castaneda’s Tensegrity® Workshop:

Look Who's Talking:
Dreaming Awe!

A Garden, Gallery, Library and Atrium Walking Tour*

February 13, 2012

Los Angeles Area, California


After a workshop of discovering your own moments of awe, listening to the memorable moments of others, and uncovering in your life who were some of your greatest teachers of ‘how to hold the happy,’ continue your dreamtime into the next day by accompanying us on a self-guided walking tour through the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens!

Day begins at 10:30 in a conference room at the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel (near the workshop site) for the practice of magical passes to set our intent;

Van and private car caravan begins at 11:30 from out front of the Pasadena Convention Center (the workshop site) – destination The Huntington;

After a short meeting at The Huntington, your individual or small, self-arranged group walking tour begins at 12:00 noon to 4:30 – where each of you will be asked to ‘read’ and follow the energy in the direction that pulls you – whether it be to the Gallery, the Library, the Rose or Jungle Garden, etc. – and explore, along the way and at your destination, the sheer beauty of what you find; then recalibrate; sense a new energetic pull and direction and off you go exploring the sights, sounds, sensations and curiosities of whatever the next moment and destination may bring. The Huntington is an exquisite and safe environment in which to do this!

Meals at The Huntington are optional and not included in the tour. You can arrange for them at the Rose Garden Tea Room where reservations are necessary or the Café where you can simply drop in (http://www.huntington.org/huntingtonlibrary_02.aspx?id=310). Food other than that provided on premises is discouraged, but a simple protein bar or two is acceptable and please eat a full breakfast-brunch before coming with us on this tour.

Van departure from The Huntington at approximately 4:30 pm, to return to the front of the Pasadena Convention Center at 5:00 pm. A variety of meals can then be had at the adjoining hotels or The Paseo Colorado Mall across the street.

Afterwards, a special place on our blog will be opened for all to share your most memorable experiences and events!

Tensegrity® practice is the modern expression of the warrior-traveler's way of being which don Juan Matus taught his four students: Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. Don Juan was a Yaqui Indian seer and heir to a lineage of men and women seers that originated in ancient Mexico.

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 expression of shamanism, Tensegrity® practice 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® movements, 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 and free ourselves from unconscious physical, mental and emotional patterns and judgments.

One 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 inherited from one's lineage, upbringing and culture to access the very best of that inheritance, and to perceive energy directly, and dream true interdependence - new possibilities of working with other beings - wherever we are, possibilities which spring from an open heart, from bringing one's best to the interchange.
