A View from the Green Room: Opening our Hearts

A Continuation of the July Tensegrity
Workshop in Italy


“The criteria that indicates that a seer is free,” don Juan said, “is when it makes no difference to him whether he has company or whether he is alone. The day you don’t covet the company of your shields, that’s the day that your being is free. What do you say? Are you game?”

- Carlos Castaneda,, The Active Side of Infinity

For our teachers, visiting ‘the Green Room’ is a joyous daily affair – a place where we can nurture and celebrate our most important relationship—the relationship with ourselves, as expressions, and integral aspects, of intent, the source of everything that is.

When this relationship with ourselves is strong, we are able to identify and release unnecessary shields: habits, addictions, or beliefs that are familiar and which we believe protect us from loneliness, fear, self-pity, etc, but which in fact bind us further to those states and push us away from that creative relationship with our essential being.

One type of shield, our teachers said, is our habit of reacting to specific limiting statements, made by others or ourselves. Glimpsing past this kind of shield is a key element to beginning to dream our experience in concert with intent.

In this series of classes, participants will have the chance to go deeper into the tracking of energy begun in “The Green Room: Opening Our Hearts” workshop. Participants will practice the magical passes called Releasing the Shields, and be guided to identify some of their own ‘triggering’ sentences, reviewing them to release them, uncovering a more expansive and inclusive state of being, where we can heartily embrace more enhancing statements and beliefs, and the greater perspective of the many gifts we receive.

This particular class series is for participants who attended “The Green Room: Opening Our Hearts” Tensegrity Workshops in Los Angeles 2010 and Italy 2010 only – Please respect this requirement, and be assured that we will have other Webex classes soon which will be open to all practitioners, seasoned and new.
This class is designed to be taken with another single Tensegrity practitioner in the same room, or a group of Tensegrity practitioners—another practitioner or group who also attended the workshop in Los Angeles or Italy this year! There will be a simple ‘energy testing’ and reviewing component of these classes which needs to be done in person, in pairs!

Please be ready when you register to send us a list of which other participants will be present with you in the room. You will be prompted at the end of the registration process to send us a form with that information.

Classes will be conducted in English with consecutive translation into Italian. If translation into another language is needed, please make your own arrangements with Tensegrity practitioners who are also signed up for these classes.

Please bring a mat and a notebook with pencil or pen.

Additionally, you will need at least one computer at your class location, a good internet connection, a web camera, computer microphone (built into most computers) and good enough speakers to be heard by all present. Class Schedule and Guidelines for computer ‘connection’ and a Release Form will be sent to you upon registration. WebEx is easy to use and does not require any software, just the ability to connect to a web link.

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.
