Tensegrity Practice at Joy of Movement Studio in Pittsboro!

Join us on Mondays at 7pm at the new Joy of Movement Studio at Chatham Mills in Pittsboro for a tensegrity practice group. All are welcome, and there is no fee to participate.

Tensegrity is the name given to the modern version of the Magical Passes and the fluid and energetically efficient way of being - the path with heart - that don Juan Matus taught his students: Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. Tensegrity is a mix of the terms tension and integrity - terms which connotate two driving forces of magical passes.

Don Juan was a Yaqui Indian from Yuma, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico, and the heir to a lineage of seers that originates in Mexico of ancient times, and whose goal and purpose was freedom of perception-freedom to perceive what quantum physics now recognizes as the essential nature of the universe: a universe of energy, which according to those Mexican seers, is organized by a force of intelligence called intent.

Carlos Castaneda found tensegrity to be a perfect energetic description of the modern practice of don Juan's teachings:

In the case of the magical passes, Tensegrity refers to the interplay of tensing and relaxing the tendons and muscles, and their energetic counterparts, in a way that enhances the overall integrity of the body as a physical and an energetic unit, and promotes a conscious awareness of how all the parts of our being-tendon, muscle, bone, nervous systems, organs, etc. work together, integrated by a healthy flow of energy.

In the case of daily life, Carlos Castaneda said, Tensegrity is an art: the art of adapting to the vibration, availability and movement of one's own energy, and that of each other, in a way that contributes to the integrity of the community that we are.
