Announcing an Introductory Exploratory Tensegrity Workshop
Sponsored by Cleargreen
And Conducted by a New Generation of Tensegrity Instructors on:

Carlos Castaneda’s Tensegrity
Death – A Companion in Life

October 9 & 10, 2010
Kiev, Ukraine

    “The issue of issues, which I will repeat to you over and over until it comes out of your ears:
    We are beings on our way to dying. We are not immortal, but we behave as if we were. This is the flaw that brings us down as individuals and will bring us down as a species someday.”
     “Seers, however, have an upper hand: as beings knowing that they are on their way to dying, they have someone whispering in their ear that everything is ephemeral. That whisperer is death, the infallible advisor, the only one who won’t ever tell you a lie.”

- Don Juan Matus


For the seers of ancient Mexico, having ‘death as a advisor’ does not represent the contradiction of death versus life – meaning one either lives meagerly now for a fuller tomorrow or frivolously now without considering the consequences of their acts.

Rather, seers regard death as part of life, part of the ever-constant flux and flow, the raw material from which new life springs, and holding this view allows the perceiver not only the opportunity to be aware that each moment may be his last, but also his first.

In this workshop, practitioners will engage in the art of Tensegrity for the purpose of making death a companion in life. Magical passes will be practiced to interrupt our habitual state of cognition inviting in new perceptions and recapitulation exercises will be practiced to acknowledge: our current ideas about death and where they come from; our experiences of death and what gifts they have given us; some of the ‘mini’ deaths and simultaneous ‘mini’ births in our lives; and what dreams we desire to dream now before our own physical death and rebirth.

As this workshop is an introductory exploratory event, magical passes and recapitulation exercises will be presented exclusively, enabling then the participant to find their own meaning.

This workshop is open to new and seasoned practitioners; full participation is key.

This workshop will be conducted in Russian.

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.
