Historic workshops by Cleargreen in the UK :
June 2008:
“And what can he [a warrior] do to overcome fear?”
“The answer is very simple. He must not run away. He must defy his fear, and in spite of it he must take the next step in learning, and the next, and the next. He must be fully afraid, and yet he must not stop. That is the rule! And a moment will come when his first enemy retreats. The man begins to feel sure of himself. His intent becomes stronger. Learning is no longer a terrifying task.
— Don Juan Matus (The Teachings of don Juan)
Men and women seers who lived in Mexico in ancient times discovered and developed a system of movements and breaths that enabled those who practiced them to attain extraodinary states of well-being and awareness. This system became known as the magical passes, or by its more modern term -- Tensegrity.
Carlos Castaneda, an anthropologist by training, along with three female cohorts, became the beneficiaries of this knowledge. In a series of books, Carlos Castaneda described his encounter with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian and leader of a party of seers, and the subsequent training and initiation into this unique body of knowledge which has been carefully preserved and handed down from generation to generation through a long line of seers.
In this workshop, the emphasis will be on dreaming, the awakening of perception outside of what we already know. Participants will practice magical passes and stalking exercises to identify what fears in everyday life hold our perception in place, stimulating us then to perceive beyond.
This workshop will be taught by the direct apprentices of Carlos Castaneda .
