A Carlos Castaneda's Tensegrity® Event

Abriendo Puertas: Opening Doors

Individual Tensegrity® Sessions

Los Angeles, California

Available on an ongoing basis


“The art of dreaming is the art of attention.”

don Juan Matus

For the seers of ancient Mexico, freeing energy for new directions comes through redirecting existing thoughts and behaviors; and the initiating impulse to open new doors may be stirred by our fellow ‘dreamers’ lending their attention to each of our current situations at hand.

Don Juan Matus, heir to those seers, told his students that we can also open new directions by paying deeper attention to our own perception, making appointments for hearing, smelling, feeling, tasting and seeing the limitless wonder around and inside us, and allowing the convergence and interchange of our senses (which cognitive science calls “synesthesia”) to take us to the seer within—an integrative perception that goes beyond the five senses, and which don Juan’s cohort, don Genaro, cheerfully called “aware-ing.”

In these individual sessions, practitioners will be guided to identify an element (a habit, dilemma, dream, or question) they wish to address in their daily lives, and, through practicing magical passes and one-on-one inquiry will identify strategies for shifting their attention and energy to the joyous unknown in the everyday world.

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.
