E U R O P E A N
PRACTICE EVENT
OF
Carlos Castaneda’s
TENSEGRITY
at Karma Ling
According to the teachings of Don Juan, «the recapitulation was a technique discovered by the sorcerers of ancient Mexico and used by every shaman-practitioner from then on to view and relive all the experiences of their lives in order to achieve two transcental goals : one, the abstract goal of fulfilling a universal code that demands that awareness be relinquished at the moment of death ; and two, the extremely pragmatic goal of of acquiring perceptual fluidity.» Carlos Castaneda, Magical Passes.
In a natural setting bathed in silence, we invite you to practice Magical Passes and other techniques taught to us by the apprentices of Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs with the intent to recapitulate our experiences with the opposite sex, going back to our fathers for women and our mothers for men, so as to allow us as beings who can feel, to polish our links to our energy bodies, to what surrounds us, to others.
