Munich - May 1998
To: The Tango Mailing List
A few personal observations on the Munich [May 23rd, 1998] workshop.
This time there seemed to be a general feeling of urgency among
practitioners. There was very little in the way of 'passing the time' and
idle chit chat in between sessions and the practice sessions themselves
seemed to compress time.
Although, the relationships between people were harmonious there were some
areas where behaviours got strained, in particular around the book stalls
and the water canteens, but on the whole people were friendly and self
composed.
In myself during the tensegrity sessions I noticed, particularely on the
first day, a lot of negativity arising, yet at the same time I knew that it
was not MY negativity. Rather it was like some kind of wind circulating
around and that if I chose to get cought by it and indulge in my petty
concerns I would be totally consumed by my self import. So instead I
ignored it and just concentrated on doing the passes. Eventually, by day
two things cleared up and I got the sense of doing tensegrity with others
rather than by myself. For a brief moment towards the end of the
workshop I felt that 'all of me' was there present at the Munich workshop.
The genaral consensus seems to be that the new passes which were taught to
us... 'the tensegrity of affection?' were exactly what was needed at this
point in time.
It seems to me now that the large Energy body of tensegrity (made up of all
the practitioners across the world) has an unbending purpose and that it is
up to us individually to put aside our petty individual preferences to walk
the path with a heart without holding back anything. That may allow the
Tensegrity energy body to unfold its wings and fly onto infinity. There is
not much time left.
The joy that was present in that hall as the clock struck noon was
something I'll always remember.
My thanks go to the Nagual , the Witches, the tensegrity teachers, my
fellow practitioners, the organisers and the city of Munich too which I
found very hospitable and beautiful.
