Disculpa, pero esta entrada está disponible sólo en English.

Bienvenido a una experiencia Intensiva e Inmersiva para transformarte

Sábado 28 de Junio, de 9:30 a 21:30 hrs.

Horario corrido con meriendas ligeras en el salón

Domingo 29 de Junio, de 9:00 a 1100 hrs.

Cierre grupal

¿Hasta donde podría despertar el ser, llegado uno a sumergirse de pleno en una burbuja de intento a lo largo de 12 horas?

En el mundo de la ciencia, hoy sabemos que las experiencias que vivimos no son fijas, que la cualidad del perceptor, del observador, es lo que determina la realidad.

En el chamanismo de don Juan, el estado de asombro, el estado de cambio, es un reflejo de cualidad no de cantidad, el corolario de los niveles de intensidad llegados.

La técnica de la Recapitulación nos lleva al descubrimiento de nuestra historia y, con ella, a la posibilidad de cambiarla. Cuando eso sucede, tienen lugar dos corolarios. Por un lado, comenzamos a cambiar y los recursos ocultos emergen de nuestro interior. En segundo lugar, se redistribuye mucha energía, al ser reasignada a otras áreas de nuestro ser, liberados de tener que mantener esa historia.

Este taller especial unifica el intento de Carlos Castaneda de usar el Código para detener la continuidad del viejo yo, junto con el arte de la Recapitulación de Taisha Abelar, para reinventarnos y rehacernos.

Experimenta

En cada sesión, durante los estados hipnóticos de arrulla profunda que siguen a estos pases en la colchoneta, seremos guiados a través de técnicas de conciencia y recapitulación.

Sequencias específicas de pases energéticos, pertenecientes a la línea de pases vinculados al nagual Luján, llamados Derrotando la Importancia Personal; se practican de pie, con un palo de madera.

En cada sesión, después de una ejecución continua de movimientos con tambores, seremos guiados a través de técnicas de conciencia y recapitulación. Técnicas específicas de respiración, que inducen estados elevados de conciencia a través de una alcalosis respiratoria, practicadas sentados, en conjunto con un palo de madera..

En cada sesión, después de un ciclo continuo de respiraciones activas y retenciones prolongadas, seremos guiados a través de técnicas de conciencia y recapitulación mientras descansamos nuestros terceros ojos en el palo.

Nuestras Herramientas para el Taller

  1. La técnica de la Recapitulación
  2. Los no-haceres de El Código
  3. Los pases para la Importancia Personal
  4. La Respiración de Taisha y el palo
  5. Registrar en el diario una nueva sintaxis

An Entire Day, An Entire Life

Welcome to an Intensive and Immersive experience to transform you

Saturday June 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Running schedule with light snacks in the living room

Sunday, June 29, from 9:00 a.m. to 1100 a.m.

Group Closing

How far could the being awaken, if one were to fully immerse oneself in a bubble of intent for 12 hours?

In the world of science, today we know that the experiences we live are not fixed, that the quality of the perceiver, of the observer, is what determines reality.

The Recapitulation technique leads us to the discovery of our history and, with it, to the possibility of changing it. When that happens, two corollaries take place. On the one hand, we begin to change and hidden resources emerge from within us. Secondly, a lot of energy is redistributed, being reassigned to other areas of our being, freed from having to maintain that history.

This special workshop unifies Carlos Castaneda’s attempt to use the Code to stop the continuity of the old self, along with the art of Taisha Abelar’s Recapitulation, to reinvent and remake us.

Experience

In each session, during the hypnotic states of deep lullaby that follow these passes on the mat, we will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques.

Specific sequences of energy passes, belonging to the line of passes linked to the magual Luján, called Defeating Personal Importance; They are practiced standing, with a wooden stick.

In each session, after a continuous execution of drum movements, we will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques. Specific breathing techniques, which induce elevated states of consciousness through respiratory alkalosis, practiced sitting, together with a wooden stick.

In each session, after a continuous cycle of active breathing and prolonged retention, we will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques while resting our third eyes on the stick.

Our Tools for the Workshop

  1. The Recapitulation technique
  2. The not-doings of The Code
  3. Passes for Personal Importance
  4. Taisha’s Breath and the stick
  5. Record a new syntax in the journal

Local Organization

Mara y Dani remain available for any questions. Spaces are limited. We will also open an agenda for Individual Appointments

BOOK ROOM & BOARD

Inspirational and Transformational

“Infinity is everything that surrounds us.” Don Juan said this and made a broad gesture with his arms. “The sorcerers of my lineage call it infinity, the spirit, the dark sea of awareness.”
“The actions of sorcerers are exclusively in the realm of the abstract, the impersonal. Sorcerers struggle to reach a goal that has nothing to do with the quests of an average man. Sorcerers aspire to reach infinity, and to be conscious of it. -Carlos Castaneda”
In the center of Europe lies the beautiful Slovenia, accessible, modern, and the perfect place for an international gathering of practitioners from around the world. It was all SO GOOD this year THAT WE DECIDED TO RUN IT BACK!
If you glance at the experiences Quilt of participants above, you know you are in for an unforgettable experience and a real chance for a new energy, a new direction.

 

Last year we sold out the space and we anticipate the same for 2025

Reserve your spot!

This is an invitation to come rediscover the joy and the magic in the energy passes from the Toltec tradition of ancient Mexico, be inspired by others sharing how they practice, connect with your higher self and with nature and have the time of your life.
During the initial years when Carlos Castaneda began teaching workshops in public in the 1990’s, a tremendous emphasis in the themes, recurrently, was the idea of dethroning one’s self-importance. Self-importance, as he presented it relentlessly during those times, was the very reason for mankind’s detour from his natural journey of awareness. He insisted that we were so absorbed in ourselves that we failed to see the magic around us.
As it had been passed onto him orally from his teacher’s tradition, ancient man at first had no sense of inner dialogue, of the description of a self-concern. He just lived in the moment, and because of that, over time, he became so good at predicting outcomes that he began to develop a voice that described those outcomes, but then also became critical of them, and thus, our excessive concern with the self began to take root.
The nagual Carlos Castaneda told me that self-importance was like a poison that ate away the very fabric of our awareness. All efforts should be made to fight off the excessive self-concern. He had me imagine a container that one had to continuously dump out because it kept filling up. He asserted that daily life pulled us in that direction unless we declared our stance to fight it.
These ideas were part of initiate instructions that came from a shamanistic tradition that had been orally passed on to Carlos Castaneda by his benefactor the nagual Juan Matus and to him by the nagual Julian and Elias, both his own teachers, and even naguals who existed in past centuries, who through corridors of time-space also passed on information and knowledge.
In this orientation of perception inwardly, the assemblage point position is fixed as they described it at a place right in front of our feet, so THAT is all we can see, the reflection of our own self. This renders our vibratory state powerless, food for external forces that then drain us further until all that is left of our natural shine is at the level of our feet.
Another of his contentions was that being self-absorbed was nothing but actually self-pity, that self-importance and self-pity were two sides of the same coin. Once we peeled away at self-importance, we always found self-pity hiding behind.
“Why would we be so concerned with ourselves if we didn’t think that we didn’t have a fair hand to start with? He would say, and then he would just laugh to himself. But then, he would be dead serious when he stated that self-importance drains us of our power.
“Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it—what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone. We must work ceaselessly to eradicate it.” — The Fire from Within
The world in Planet Earth 2025 tells us: “THEY are the enemy.” It is outside, a person a group a political party. But a warrior chooses a different position, that the real nemesis of mankind is self-importance.
The focus for our battle is self-importance; it is within, held by the definitions of our internal dialogue, and we should fight it the way we fight our greatest enemy.

Defeating Self-Importance

The cornerstone of the shaman’s journey

For the men and women shamans in ancient Mexico, every one of their practices was aimed at dethroning the excessive concern with the self, which they considered, in terms of perception, as the main obstacle to reaching their full potential.
Your Retreat Experience includes:
• Learning and practicing energy passes and entering states of heightened awareness
• Listening to freedom stories from fellow practitioners
• Learning how to move energy and create unique forms of energy passes
• Hikes in a pristine alpine beauty
• Inner silence walks through the forest
• Sun-bathing by gorgeous mountain lakes
• Dining together in community
• Unplugging, recharging and uplifting yourself

 

Be guided through the details and nuances of this unique tradition by Dr. Miles Reid, one of the principal original teachers trained directly by Carlos Castaneda, and featured in his book on the subject, Magical Passes.
The workshop-retreat is for everybody who participates in the energy passes online world practices, a yearly live gathering to meet each other in person, network, share an amazing time, and get connected.
If you have not yet participated in the online practices, this is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to the energy passes of Carlos Castaneda, to ancient and modern practices of shamanism, and their bridge to modern life, medicine and science.

Spik Alpine Resort

Nested under the Julian Alps, the Spik Resort is located on a quiet, somewhat isolated corner in the alpine village of Gozd Martuljek, with impressive natural surroundings and the seal of Alpine tradition.

October 9 to 12, 2025

4 days to fill you up and elevate you!

Book now!

During the Retreat, you will learn the intricacies of a NEW FORM OF ENERGY PASSES:

The Form Of The Will

An Advanced Practice for seasoned and beginners alike

The Will Form aims at 2 perceptual stances:

• To deal with self-importance as if it were our greatest enemy
• To refuse to feel less or victims and reconquer our true minds

The Form uses a wooden device:

A wooden stick is required when practicing these energy passes. For purposes of the intent in which the stick is handled, the practitioners must ‘extend themselves into the stick’ so it becomes a part of oneself, an extension that enables one to execute the energy movements in an enhanced way.
*Measurements: 16 inches long by 1 5/8 inches wide approx. – available for purchase at the workshop.
**The stick can be sanded or varnished, fostering a personal relationship with it.

Testimonials

I take home the brilliance of these days, the serenity, the abandonment of thoughts! This morning I resumed my life in the Tonal that I went through with an unusual lightness. It always happens after a seminar, yet this time I feel my distance is stronger, while being present and efficient in the things to be done.

Thank you to the practice participants: we exchanged a strong and varied energy.

The treatments with Miles were an unexpected gift to me: a burst of energy, a strong push to put the Intent to ask for things for me!

Thanks to Miles and his dedication we have been doing things that, as the days go by, are proving to be even more powerful than it seemed at the time.

The whole workshop was very powerful and the ceremony too. Over these last weeks several times I had to say to myself: WOW it really works! I really burned something that I actually tried to solve many times.

Bianca

For 3 days, I enjoyed a set of 5 treatments mixing acupuncture, cupping, massage and healing visualisations sessions. Miles would start each session discussing, clarifying and addressing with me the behavioural drivers of my health issues in an atmosphere of benevolence, care and dedication to health and sanity.

The effects were simply incredible. I must admit it : I do not remember when was the last time I felt that clear, comfortable, fluid, almost exhilarated in my body and mind after each treatment. This heightened state of well-being even remained for the following two weeks. As I write this testimonial, I can still attest that stress and pain levels have noticeably lessened in my muscles and joints.

This has renewed my commitment to sustain and promote my daily and long-term health and energy levels. I very much look forward to the next opportunity to get online or in-person treatment with Dr Miles Reid, whom I offer my heartfelt thanks!

Isaaka Ouedraogo-Iseli

What this workshop left me, I feel, is above all the opportunity to connect with luminous beings, instead of people. Without judgment, my body feels people instead of letting the mind think about them or classify them according to their behavior or mood. With such a premise, stalking my behavior is completely changing. My body is now remembering that affection and detachment walk together, giving me the possibility to change my reactions and keep energy focused on an abstract hunt. Long time ago anger and frustration brought me to lose myself, and I’m now seeing this mind trap as it actually is. I feel I have to keep strong the connection with the left/whole body, not to lose this perception. I’m gonna keep alive the memories of ourselves looking each other into our eyes during the seminar, and the joy of that moment.

The affection for this wonderful and mysterious world will guide and support me.

Thank you infinity, Miles and thanks to all of you who attended this magical moment. May the jaguar intent be with all of us!

Emanuele

‘It was beautiful and intensely helpful. Thank you all.

What burned never came back.

Finally the wind caressed me to confirm that those thoughts were extinct.

What fire chanced doesn’t come back.

At the end of the ceremony the wind said to me: “ok , this went definitive!”

Thanks Miles and all for your INTENT.

Emanuela

Thank you for your impeccable work. It has been a delight to have you here in Switzerland among us. Hopefully this will become a habit. You left me with an optimistic mood, invigorated energy and a toned health. What can I ask more for?

Gabriel

Thank you Miles, I feel new after Lausanne. A fog and a weight has lifted.

Tomas

During those 2 days I felt deeply understood and respected in my personal rhythm. Two days later, I feel more comfortable and kind with myself. Huge! Thank you!!!

Cristina

A big THANK YOU to Miles for the Sestri Levante workshop.

For me (who had abandoned for many years and only resumed practicing in January of this year) it was a fabulous experience. Practicing in presence instead of in connection gives crazy energy.

The (many) steps that Miles proposed gave me back vitality, fluidity and self-confidence.

The relaxation and dream experiences were very very very very intense.

Thanks also to all the participants who contributed to creating a relaxed and participatory atmosphere.

A second THANK YOU to Miles for the two treatments he gave me: a physically revitalizing experience but above all that helped me to have a strong opening of my heart again.

I hope to see you soon!

Raffaele

Miles, thank you so much for all the energy you put in your treatments. So much focus and intent. It has been a long time since I haven’t had treatments with you but as always you injected a boost in my life and shook my energy. I feel more light and determined.

A big hug and a thank you.

Pier

I had such a magical time in Sestri Levante with you all. There was so much love, I was both moved and humbled. Thank you Miles for your impeccable leadership, guidance and for sharing your fascinating stories, wisdom, insights and advice. Thank you organizers and participants. I learned the importance of disrupting continuity to allow for a new trajectory. After the combined effects of treatments and workshop, I feel younger and my wife also commented that I actually look younger! Refreshed and at ease I return to my duties as Captain, husband, father and friend. With love and deepest respect to you all. May our intent be manifested!

Ross

Thank you all for the wonderful workshop.

Heartfelt thanks to Miles for his full availability and love for us and for the practice of energy passes and for his teacher Carlos Castaneda. I am truly so grateful to you

The fire ceremony was beautiful and powerful. The fire blazed for a moment and then died down to then start again strong and high as if it were burning one problem at a time, one sheet at a time . I felt like I let go of something that was holding me back. Now I feel less of the weight of my body on my pelvis and legs.

Assunta

Thank you Miles for your impeccable presence during treatments, I feel uplifted, more whole and more alive.

Looking forward to the workshop in Italy and to the (re) encounter with my fellow infinity readers. For some strange reason I had the feeling that the workshop lasted one week or one minute!

Thank you Miles and all of you for keeping the dream energy alive all the way through

Cristina

This meeting with Dr. Miles was very special. He is a character who left his mark on me and immediately touched my heart and gained my trust. I wondered what was happening to me. My ramparts fell in one fell swoop. Everything happened very quickly and I feel like I’ve been in a space-time wormhole.

Mr. Miles gave me a glimpse of other ways to approach a path to healing. There may be a glimmer at the bottom of the well that I can now see if I make an effort to keep my eyes open.

It will take me a few more days to come out of the fog and receive fully what has been given to me.

Thank you for dedicating your life to helping others, Mr. Reid, and for doing so with such kindness, sincerity and heart.

Geraldine

I find myself more unified, centered and joyful. My husband told me he sees me with another expression. I’m more connected with my work. Everything is magical.

I came back home full of gratitude despite the world’s situation.

Marika

After the treatments I experienced a sensation of weightlessness. My assemblage point had shifted and I could sense the swirling energy around me. In the following days my legs have been stiff, like I’ve been on a good hike or run. They want to stretch and gather energy.

Thank you Miles for sharing your wisdom and restoring my energy!

Ross

The seminar was great! Intense! So much so that Saturday felt like 3 days! A wonderful journey from the right side to the left side to find the centrality of the whole body.. probing the feminine and the masculine inside me…. traveling in sound and going and returning.. up to the stars where we come from and where we return. turning into a jaguar and returning to the human part again until I looked into the eyes of my travel companions and found myself recognizing each other on the same road!

It was wonderful to meet some of you that I hadn’t seen in years and meet some of you seen only on video in person! Walking in Sestri and finding each other.. you are all with me in my heart!

I feel full of energy and love of strong silence and at the same time sweet and SOAVE as I love to define my true essence! In general I feel much more joyful, happy. I am always smiling and determined to face the path of a warrior every day! The INTENT created together is strong!

Rosa Anna

I am super grateful for the time with all of you, together in the same room, doing passes, dreaming and stalking. And I hope to do again one of the greatest stalkers, the jaguar!

Saso

It has been fantastic to have you here in Lausanne and share some simple moments of life with you. Thank you so much for bringing your positive energy to us!

I feel more light and comfortable in my body. I allow my shoulders to open and my neck to align with my new state of mind. I just accept being myself!

Monira

Masterful workshop. A joy to participate in. Thanks Miles for giving your all.

It’s amazing we have such a deep rapport as we don’t share the same language. It shows the power of a heart connection.

Thank you Miles for the treatment. You’re an excellent acupuncturist. I’m so glad I got a treatment with you. After your suggestions I feel I’ve a good strategy to work with my health. Whatever we call it, luck, power, timing, the workshop was very propitious for me. Was impeccably led and received. The powerful fire ceremony epitomized the power, joy and intent that we forged together.

Having been ill I intended the workshop would renew, burning what I wished to let go of has been renewing. Opportunities have come my way without a lot of structure and input from me. I seem to have entered a magical flow where I feel obstacles have been removed and my path clear and supported. Thank you Miles and the practitioners for entering into this intent.

Gammadian

I want to thank Miles for the effective massage and treatment!  I woke up today with a pleasant pain in my muscles. Miles, you’ve managed to dissolve the stiffness of my back… or maybe the stiffness of my assemblage point…

Valeria

Thanks Miles and everyone for the time and energy together. It was so beautiful to experience beyond the language.

A lustrous bunch of beings attended and shared their wonder.

I remember on fire ceremony gazing, intending to release old habits, at a moment the flames pointed at me saying “Now is your turn!”. And I felt them burning. The ego triggered trying to tell me “I want more for me!”, but the group was there helping me see everyone has its part and intent. My gratitude to everybody supporting each other for becoming stronger and more loving beings!

Ognyan

Deal all, I’m leaving Lausanne now with deep gratitude and new dreams and skills to apply for a more efficient and happy way to walk on my Path of Heart. Big thanks to all,

who organized this event. First of all to dear Miles for his priceless knowledge and kindness… The place was nice and cozy, easy to find and beautifully welcoming.

Felt great to reconnect in this way after years. Intento!

Saida

Hello, for the first time I had an experience of silent dialogue, I experienced “The Power of Silence.” In the previous seminars there was always a good translation system and everything was happening through words, the lexicon. Now, in the two days in Sestri I listened to Miles with my eyes and received so much information, it will take time to understand it all, I also talked with the body and somehow I felt that I communicated more than I myself believe. Then Miles proposed silent communication by holding hands and looking into our eyes, this was a wonderful insight and the magic circle of knowledge was closed. Even if briefly, we all flew with the lightness and splendor of magical steps, we followed our guide with confidence and enthusiasm.

We came back with happiness in our eyes and hearts, we sang in the car all the way for 700 km. We will practice lessons and will turn them into knowledge and connection with the infinite. Thanks to the practitioners who worked to organize the meeting happy to find you all on the path of the heart. See you soon!

Gaetano

The fire ceremony held in Sestri- Levante felt very powerful. My sensation was of being in a great circle of energy that kept us together… Almost suspended. When the fire went out the smoke circled the circle as a greeting…

Simona

The burning ceremony was a highlight for me too. Interestingly I’m having a similar experience with it. As if there is a filter now and the energy doesn’t feel the same, but somehow lighter and much easier to navigate from that space. Where before I’d succumb to downward spiral now the direction is up!

So many treasures to cherish and work with from just a couple of days of practicing together with intent! May we all continue to soar on the wings of our intent and impeccability! Thank you all.

Iliana

It has been a transformational experience for me in many ways! Your deep compassion opened my heart and your lightness and warmth made me feel that all things fall in place gracefully and easily. I felt such a great cleaning of my body and spirit, it’s like I got an infusion of a fresh colorful beautiful energy and let go of a stagnated dark one. I felt that all was well and I gave myself permission to be who I am. and a miracle happened on my way back home. For months now my voice was very weak and I couldn’t sing at all. When I got in my car I suddenly got an urge to sing. Despite resistance I followed the urge and in the beginning my voice sounded weak and scratchy, but some inner force was pushing me to continue. After 30 min my voice cleared up and I could sing loud and clear like years ago!! It was an amazing liberating feeling. So I sang all the way home for 2 hours! Now I am working on maintaining this new feeling and following the plan we laid out.

It has been a transformational experience for me in many ways! Your deep compassion opened my heart and your lightness and warmth made me feel that all things fall in place gracefully and easily. I felt such a great cleaning of my body and spirit, it’s like I got an infusion of a fresh colorful beautiful energy and let go of a stagnated dark one. I felt that all was well and I gave myself permission to be who I am. and a miracle happened on my way back home. For months now my voice was very weak and I couldn’t sing at all. When I got in my car I suddenly got an urge to sing. Despite resistance I followed the urge and in the beginning my voice sounded weak and scratchy, but some inner force was pushing me to continue. After 30 min my voice cleared up and I could sing loud and clear like years ago!! It was an amazing liberating feeling. So I sang all the way home for 2 hours! Now I am working on maintaining this new feeling and following the plan we laid out.

Assunta

Thank you for these wonderful days of great change and nourishment! I have moved into this new position of SOFTNESS and I always tell myself ‘SOFT’ thinking about my liver, my skin, my whole being…Those who have seen me after the treatments say that I am ‘SOFT’ no longer ‘HARD’ and I feel it too in all my body! I know what we have co-created is real and is a huge healing boost because the process has already begun and we have worked out new accords with infinity! I feel so much happiness…So much relaxation… As soon as I realize that, my belly is pulled in and swollen with inhalations…Thanks for everything, immense gratitude and lots of love.

DEFEATING SELF-IMPORTANCE: 

The cornerstone of the shaman’s journey

For the men and women shamans in ancient Mexico, every one of their practices was aimed at dethroning the excessive concern with the self, which they considered, in terms of perception, as the main obstacle to reaching their full potential.

Self-importance meant, for them, being fixed in only seeing ourselves, being excessively concerned with ourselves, and fearing that those concerns won’t be met, or they won’t let us meet them.

The Will Form aims at 2 perceptual stances:

  • To deal with self-importance as if it were our greatest enemy
  • To refuse to feel less or victims and reconquer our true minds.

DEFEATING SELF-IMPORTANCE FORM: 

The Form Of The Will

“I complained that the idea of eradicating self-importance, although very appealing to me at times, was incomprehensible; I told him that I found his directives for getting rid of it so vague I could not follow them.
“I’ve said to you many times,” he said, „that in order to follow the path of knowledge one has to be very imaginative. You see, in the path of knowledge nothing is as clear as we’d like it to be.” – Carlos Castaneda

Instead of a single fixed form, defeating self-importance is a vocabulary, a set of units that can be arranged in sequences with different orders and repetitions.

Each set functions as a unit of perception, in the seers’ cognition. In this context, an arrangement is a unique sequence and number of repetitions of any chosen number of the sets, reflecting individual

Guidelines how to assemble a Groups’ Form for the Second Annual Global Practice

JUST like with the Jaguar Form last year, which worked so well, we have a form for this year’s Event, exploring another cornerstone in the cognition of the shamans of Mesoamerica. EACH Practice Group works together to create their Signature Defeating Self-importance Form (The will Form), their unique arrangement, such as The Will Form Italy Group, The Will Form Brazil Group, The Will Form Mexico Group, etc.

Each group can practice and develop their form over the next months and include it in their regular practices, in conjunction with the other passes and practices.

Note: while the exploration of these passes is to be included and developed during each group’s weekly and Seasonal Practices, other passes and forms will continue to also be shared and practiced.

In October 2025, when we hold the Second Global Practice, and, like it was done last year, each Practice Group will present and share their respective Form, so we all get to practice all the different variations!

The use of the wood device:

A wooden stick is required when practicing these energy passes (measurements: 16 inches long by 1 5/8 inches wide aprox).

For purposes of the intent in which the stick is handled, the practitioners must ‘extend themselves into the stick’ so it becomes a part of oneself, an extension that enables one to execute the energy movements in an enhanced way.

The stick can be sanded or varnished, fostering a personal relationship with it.

“Don Juan began his explanations:

He said that seers, old and new, are divided into two categories. The first one is made up of those who are willing to exercise self-restraint and can channel their activities toward pragmatic goals, which would benefit other seers and man in general. The other category consists of those who don’t care about self-restraint or about any pragmatic goals. It is the consensus among seers that the latter have failed to resolve the problem of self-importance.”

How to arrange a form:

  • A vocabulary of passes – UNITS
  • A sequence combination – Unique each practitioner / time
  • A perceptual focus – Shifting perception away from the excessive concern with the self
  • Instead of being a single set form, The Will Form is, rather, a vocabulary, a set of small components that can then be arranged in sequences with different orders and repetitions. In this context, an arrangement is a unique sequence and number of repetitions of the sets, reflecting individual expressions.
  • Each unit addresses a particular emphasis on rallying one’s will power.
  • Each Practice Group worldwide develops its own arrangement, its own form, by individual members of each group practicing, exploring the units and creating their unique sequence.
  • Individual practitioners’ sequences will be shown and shared throughout the next Seasonal Practices, and each group will finally choose one version to present at the Global Practice in October.

The Defeating Self-Importance Form consists of a set of 15 individual units which combine in a multiplicity of repetitions and combinations to create unique orchestrations of movement under one common thread or theme. Each unit in itself is composed of a small set of energy passes, movements and breaths from the legacy of shamans of ancient Mexico and Mesoamerica.

Practice Tips:

  1. there is a pattern of breathing to follow,
  2. a specific mood to enter,
  3. a technique for how to hold and use the stick,
  4. a set of wheels’ strikes with the stick
  5. a collection of blocks of energy passes; blocks can be combined in any order and number of repetitions so that the end result is a form always fresh, unique, and in motion.

Any given Form, any given arrangement (sequence) can also include any of the sounds in combination with any of the movements.

“Warriors fight self-importance as a matter of strategy, not principle”, he replied. “Your mistake is to understand what I say in terms of morality!”

This is Joining Forces Second Annual Gathering for all Practice Groups around the globe, to celebrate each other for their efforts and energy over the year in the practices, to intermingle, create new relationships and support each other.

Gobal Practices are just like Seasonal Practices, but for all international groups simultaneously. We move towards freedom, joining forces, side by side, and internationally!

Help support the Practices by inviting people from your network to come and experience the movements and the energy.

Seminario de Tres Días en la Ciudad de México

Las Tres Estrellas de Orión

El Centro de Todo

MORELIA, MÉXICO

Taller: Diciembre 5, 6 & 7, 2025

Tratamientos Individuales: Diciembre 4, 5, 7 & 8, 2025

Nos reunimos en este lugar, la tierra de México, para rendir homenaje a los hombres y mujeres buscadores de la libertad que han vivido en estas tierras desde la antigüedad.

 

¡Lee lo que han dicho los participantes anteriores!

En la visión emergente de una cosmología mesoamericana unificada, es decir, teotihuacano, dentro de la mitología de la serpiente emplumada, las Tres Piedras de Hogar simbolizan la fundación del universo, el principio, el origen y la fuente de todas las cosas. Estos hogares están vinculados a la constelación de Orión, concretamente a su cinturón de estrellas, Las Tres Marías, las estrellas del hogar de la creación.
En ese sistema cognoscitivo, Quetzalcóatl —la serpiente emplumada— es el camino que recorre un guerrero en la vida, desde su origen en las estrellas del hogar, hasta su destino en las Pléyades, el lugar de la continuidad y el equilibrio.

ORIÓN: ORIGEN – PLÉYADES: RENACIMIENTO

Los tres hogares también pueden ser vistos, por los practicantes modernos, como los tres cerebros en el cuerpo humano: craneal, corazón e intestino, o las tres capas del yo: mente, cuerpo y espíritu. Juntos, forman una experiencia completa de nuestro ser y de nuestro potencial.
“¡Wow! El horizonte está color de hormiga!” Carlos Castaneda les dijo a sus alumnos. “¡Apriétense el cinturón! Nos estamos alineando con el agujero negro en el centro de la galaxia. Todo lo demás no es nada en comparación”, advirtió. “Yo no estaré aquí para verlo, pero tú sí. Y vas a necesitar energía para afrontarlo. Ese es el camino tolteca
En el contexto de la tradición que había heredado de su maestro, el término “tolteca” significaba “hombres de conocimiento”, alguien que adquirió el hábito de consultar con todo su corazón.

Conexión con la Comunidad del Centro

Una tortuga lleva tres estrellas de hogar en su espalda, en una formación de trípode. En la antigua creencia mesoamericana, la superficie de la tierra era vista como una gran tortuga flotando en el mar primordial de la vida. La tortuga representa las cuatro direcciones de la tierra y el espíritu que la sostiene, un holograma del universo.
Y por eso le pusieron el nombre de Teotihuacan:
Porque era el lugar de enterramiento de los gobernantes.
Porque se dice: Cuando morimos,
No morimos de verdad,
Porque estamos vivos,
Porque somos devueltos a la vida,
Porque aún vivimos,
Porque despertamos…
Así, los ancianos dijeron:
“El que murió se convirtió en un dios”.
– Poema náhuatl
Tu Experiencia en el Taller:
  • Integrar tu salud con tu cuerpo y tu Espíritu, para darte un impulso de energía.
  • Compartir una experiencia de retiro, comidas, caminatas y cultura con otros practicantes de diferentes regiones.
  • Abrir un corredor de percepción en la época de Tingambato y Teotihuacán, en el México antiguo.
  • La experiencia de mover tu percepción, punto de encaje, a diferentes posiciones, como un árbol, la Tierra y el mítico Tollán.
  • Cuando la mente pensante se detiene y se abre el mundo del silencio interior.
  • Sentir tu cuerpo como un aparato completo de percepción.
Se guiado a través de los detalles y matices de esta antigua tradición, y cómo puede beneficiar tu salud y el desarrollo de tu conciencia por el Dr. Miles Reid, uno de los principales maestros originales entrenados directamente por Carlos Castaneda, y presentado en su libro sobre el tema, Pases Mágicos. Miles es un médico de formación, así como un médico de medicina oriental.
El seminario-retiro también es una invitación para todos los que ya participan en la práctica de los pases de energía en línea y quieren conocerse en persona, establecer contactos, compartir un momento increíble y conectarse.
Si aún no has participado en las prácticas en línea, esta es una gran oportunidad para presentarte a las Prácticas en línea GRATUITAS de los pases de energía de Carlos Castaneda, a las prácticas antiguas y modernas del chamanismo, y su puente a la vida moderna, la medicina y la ciencia.
El nagual, o el “doble” que todos poseemos, y en el cual nos podemos transformar.

The Evolution of Joining Forces

Take a look at the World of Practice 2025

Want to know the background story?

The Joining Forces Practice Initiative was founded in 2023 by Miles Reid, with a group of coordinators of 33 senior practitioners from 9 different countries, to help each other and the World gain purpose and support a sustained individual practice of the principles and practices from the legacy of the shamans of ancient Mexico. It aims to move humanity towards freedom, joining forces side by side.
Miles is featured demonstrating the movements in the book Magic Passes, as well as being one of the leading teachers to Castaneda’s shamanistic practices internationally from its inception to the present.

 

Listen to the story that brought about the Practice project

 

One of the most cherished projects of Carlos Castaneda during the last years of his life, was the advent of Practice Groups. When he started giving workshops, he was amazed to see the phenomenon of energy mass, when it came to the practice of the passes. How a number of practitioners doing them together, makes everyone much more available to move, to change, both physically and perceptually. He would say that a wave of intent seemed to generate and pass through them.
“This energetic current, which a shaman could easily see, creates a sense of urgency in practitioners. It is like a vibratory wind that sweeps through them and gives them the primary elements of purpose. I have had the privilege of seeing what I considered to be a portentous spectacle: the awakening of purpose, the energetic base of man. Don Juan Matus used to call this unbending intent.”
After the nagual left, we spent a lot of time nurturing and connecting a lot of small practice groups in many different countries, in neighborhoods within large cities or in towns. Over time, the focus shifted away, and many practice groups became inactive.
What would the nagual do today with this dream of practice groups? The individual passion about the passes from so many of you remains inside alive.
The Joining Forces Initiative is an answer to that. A new formulation of that dream, in line with the new conditions that social media and the internet have brought that changed the world since the time he was alive.
This new formulation, a combination of live and mostly online, gives the potential for a greater number of practitioners to share a practice and a relationship of intent, grouped not by the same city or neighborhood location, but by country, world region, or language.
Each regional group is connected through a dedicated WhatsApp group and meets via Zoom. There are also some events broadcast through Instagram Live. Any given practice can be joined from home, or if there are multiple people living in the same city, you can also meet live during practice time and do the practice together.

A WORKSHOP ON RECAPITULATION

Liguria, Italy

May 7-12, 2025

Individual Treatments May 7-9 & May 11-12

Three-Day Workshop May 9-11

The Workshop is hosted at Rifugio Lago delle Lame 

Decoding that epigenetic code through unifying our parts can lead to astonishing transformations

This special workshop-retreat unifies Carlos Castaneda’s intent for using the Code passes for not-doing, to stop the continuity of the old self, together with Taisha Abelar’s art of Recapitulation, to re-invent and remake ourselves NEW.

EXPERIENCE THESE

  • Specific energy movements from what is called The Ancient Seers’ Code – one of the most mysterious of the not-doings energy passes, practiced on a mat.

In each session, during hypnotic states of deep lulls following these passes, participants will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques

  • Specific sets of energy movements, belonging to the line of energy passes linked to the nagual Lujan, called Defeating Self-Importance – practiced standing, with a wooden stick.

In each session, after a continuous execution of the movements to drums, participants will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques.

  • Specific breathing techniques- inducing heightened states of awareness through mild respiratory alkalosis – practiced sitting, in tandem with a wooden dowel.

In each session, after a continuous cycle of active breaths and long holds, participants will be guided through awareness and recapitulation techniques while resting their third eyes onto the dowel.

Our tools for Decoding during the Retreat

The Recapitulation Technique
The not-doings of The Code
The passes for Self-importance
Taisha’s Breath and the dowel
Journaling a new syntax

Dear Participants,

For this retreat in Italy, we will dive deep into the specific line of passes of the Ancient Seer’s Code, which I hold in safekeeping.
Under their auspices, and my teacher’s intent, we will endeavor to stop our story, again and again, and immediately then recapitulate that story, and, between both energetic endeavors, attempt to make a jump, in terms of awareness.

Miles Reid

The Recapitulation takes us to the discovery of our story, and, with it, to the possibility of changing it. When that
happens, two corollaries take place. On the one hand, we begin to change, and hidden resources emerge from within ourselves. Secondly, a lot of energy is redeployed, by being reallocated to other areas of our being, freed from having to uphold that story.

Location

The workshop will be held at: Rifugio Lago delle Lame
Localitá Lago delle Lame 78, Rezzoaglio Genova

The Treatments will be held at: VIVOLAB
Via Giorgio Canale, 70, 16043 Chiavari GE, Italy
