Dear Participants of the Online Class “Moving with Some Extraordinary Dreamers – The Trees”,
It was wonderful to share the class with all of you and explore together our connection between ourselves, and with trees. Thank you for being an enthusiastic and active part of it!
We would love to hear your feedback and experiences from the class and from your interaction with the trees.
With our affection,
Cleargreen

Thankyou,
This is the beginning of an entirely new challenge, to intend the interaction with a different life form. From the distance from where I stand it looks profound and rich in feelings.
Thank you for couching me into this. As when I start any new thing, I feel the resistance. I´ve been doing it everyday for very short periods of time, I want to set my intention.
Also, as a bona fide new element of my structure, it is moving and displacing other elements from my personal inventory. The witness session brought up the stagnant issues that feed my fear and anger and determine the person I am.
I can´t express how meaninfull this is! Thankyou
Lucia
Thank you, Lucia! And you can ask a witness or friend to help you sustain the intent to keep communicating with those richly feeling beings…
Thank you for your response, my body understood what you´re saying. Thank you for being a support for my essence who loves you very much.
Lucia
Hi together
Many thanks to cleargreen and the instructors and all the dreamers who helped this dream come true. It was my first online class and the experience was very deep.
I was very lucky to re-learn the tree form and I practice it now daily. The from brings me to a deep level of peeace and stillness. Practicing the form at the trees I choosed braught helped me in the following meditation to come to a very intense contact with the surrounding trees, some oaks with an age of 800 – 1200 years. As I have a very difficult situation in my daily life I had a lot of questions and received very helping answers form these wise entities. My energy level was lifted and my mood got brighter. I am very thankfull for this experience.
I had no Witness, so I had to do the exercises on my own. It worked good, and I also told my story and what I found to the trees. Learning about my habits of listening and not listening and how it feels to not be heared, was also a very deep experience and I am sure it will change my
future interactions with other people and with nature in whole.
Thanks to everyone
Thanks to the instructors
Thanks to the trees
Orville
Yes, thank you Orville. You can also ask the tree if it is willing to be a witness sometimes too…
One of the main outcomes of the last Tree class is the 360 degree view; i can summon the sensation by thinking about the tree I spent time with. I never quite understood the term ’360 degree view’ before but now I know it as a feeling of space and openess, connected to but different to my usual visual view.
Also in the pre-class assignment i removed something from the tree that I had put there 2 years ago and which was damaging the tree, the physical sensation of relief I experienced was quite unexpected and convinced me that we are really connected.
Thank you all at Cleargreen for guiding me to these actions.
We feel the relief too! Thank you!
Thank you very much for Online Classes,
There is really the connection with Trees,
I don´t know why but during the Witnesswork I remembered about a situation in that I didn´t listen to me.
The scene was at the office where I work with other colleagues. At that day we had a lot of work to do. Every day at the same time we have a pause. I noticed I have no much time and it seemed that there was no”finish line”. I felt a tension in my body: in the shoulder, in the back, in the nack area. My inner dialog was: “It will never be completed! And we have not a pause!”
During the exisice with my witness I discovered that it is very important to listen to myself. It brought balance and enjoy me. The first work day the class there was a similar situation at our office. I began to breath deeply, moved the shoulder like in theTree Magical Pass. I felt the warm in my body. But first off felt me more connected with my colleagues. It was wonderfull.
At the same day I head the beutefull musik. It was light and lightfull: Mozart,
hier is the link:
with love

Dear V: Thank you for sharing about bringing the new mood into the office, and for the wonderful music!!!

Спасибо инструкторам магических пассов за безупречную подготовку технической стороны класса. Класс получился великолепно, отличное качество звука, отличный перевод. Мы подключили компьютер к большому телевизору, это было очень удобно. Мы также использовали два компьютера, один для класса и другой для скайпа чтобы слушать перевод.
Деревья были рядом с нами, прямо за окном, как вы могли видеть.
Во время класса очень хорошо получилась практика со свидетелем.
Когда мы вышли на улицу, я прислонился к дереву и сразу же почувствовал сильное тепло от него. Затем я просто сказал дереву, что люблю его. В тот же момент я слился с деревом и стал с ним одним целым. Я мог чувствовать дерево от кончиков корней до его листьев, все целиком. Это длилось несколько мгновений, но мне показалось что прошло много времени.
***************************************
Thank you to instructors of magical passes for excellent preparation of the technical side of the class. The class was great, excellent sound quality, excellent translation. We hooked up a computer to a large TV, it was very convenient. We also used two computers, one for the class and another for translation via Skype. The trees were close, right outside the window.
The witnessing turned out very well.
When we went outside, I leaned against a tree and immediately felt a strong heat from it. Then I just said the tree that I love it. At the same time I had merged with a tree and was with it like one piece. I felt the entire tree, from the roots to leaves. It lasted a few moments, but I thought that it was a long time.
Thank you, Dmitry!
There was something I discovers by accident. In preparation for the class I was doing my Yoga next to the tree I paired with for the class. When I was standing on my head, as part of the exercise, I have realized that I’m now aligned with the Tree’s view of the world. The tree’s head is in the ground thinking downwards, listening to mother hearth’s song, singing it. And it’s feet are at the sky. As I swayed my feet in the wind I felt the sensation of flying, walking in the sky, but rooted to hearth and it’s depth. That’s why trees like when children climb in their branches it tickles them in their feet, makes them laugh. Grown-ups can climb too if they are light and fun like children, they are most welcome. It is us humans and animals that have our feet grounded and thinking in the air. The tree’s disposition is opposite. Her thought, because it is well rooted with mother nature, she can walk/fly with her feet every where, together with the wind.
About the class I have no words I can focus in writing. It’s as if years of longing, ever since at the age of 16 (34 years ago) I read “Journey to Ixtlan” came out, all mixed and confused. The excitement together with the doubts. The recognition together with the disappointment the desperation together with the hope… I wouldn’t give it up for the world, it’s grate. It just pushes me back to that same point. One is the sole responsibility for ones journey. Others are only there to bring messages from infinity. The interpenetration of these messages is a lonely challenge. (I bet infinity is yelling in my ear but I can’t hear her).
Free life
Boaz
Thank you Boaz for turning it all over! The tree’s assemblage point is closer to the root….
Dear beings,
Thanks to the witness exercise I could acknowledge that my part on to not be listened come first, on to not take care of the other feelings. When I was child my mother use to reclaim to my Father why he didn’t want to pay me attention or play with me, and my Father use to be very anger about it because he felt pressured by her. So I feel that the other one “has” to listen me when I feel that there is something important that I have to say. So to realize this I could see that I can listen the other feelings first.
After the class I went to a very beautiful eucalyptus that its close to my house and I connected whit it, I could see how the tree its connected to the earth and to the sky with its fellows trees and they have the space between each other at trunk level, and I realize that not also I repeat the pattern of wanted to be listened by demand but also that I feel the same anger that my father expressed when some one demands to me my attention on something that she or he wants to express or feels, so I feel the intention of trees on to want to communicate each other and with the surrounding respecting their spaces.
I was whit my back to the trunk of the eucalyptus feeling it smooth movement and feeling the connection with the other trees realizing that I can be like the trees and the flow of their energy when a strange bird appear at the horizon soaring with big wings and then in front of my was an eagle or a falcon screeching like a confirmation of my feelings.
Thank you so much for this magical class and this amazing tools, whit affection,
Sebastian.
Thank you Sebastian and Friends!
Thank you so much. As always, you make me laugh so much about myself. This is always the best laugh I know. I laughed at myself when my witness and I did infinity theater, there was laughter with tears. thank you, thank you from my heart! I love you all!
What? Laugh at ourselves? Really?
I’ve found it most enjoyable to do the last four classes and to feel and be a part of the steady current that informs them. I was more successful skyping with my witness this time; feeling myself opening at the heart as I aligned better with those around me in the infinity theatre. I work in a nursery growing all sorts of trees, and its just wonderful to enter a greenhouse in the morning and greet everybody there with the expansion of my branches, waving, moving. BREATHING and reaching out. Its more of a challenge with the human beings that share my life to do this with, but when I do succeed it is very rewarding indeed.
Great, great affection, and thanks to you at Cleargreen, to my fellow practitioners, and to the spirit that moves in my branches and leaves and restores my being to its more natural responses and expressions.
I have to go now. I am just finishing off a painting of trees in a corner of my garden:

Maybe if we saw humans as being like walking trees it would be easier…Thank you for sharing amazing artwork!
Спасибо за замечательный класс! Пассы действительно помогли замедлиться и успокоить ум, освободить пространство для общения с деревьями.
Во время практики свидетеля пришёл ясный новый взгляд на ситуацию с мамой. Я увидела ещё один аспект ответственности, когда полностью осознаёшь, что происходит и к чему это может привести, не оставляя ничего на самотёк, а значит, не перекладывая ответственность на другого человека.
Общение с деревом. На этот раз я снова нашла то же дерево, что и в прошлый раз. Общение началось легко и сразу, дерево меня узнало и приняло. Моё восприятие мгновенно расширилось до размеров гигантского шара. Дерево рассказало мне, сколько ей лет, это было как картинка – образ послевоенного времени. Она ровесница моей мамы. Затем дерево показало мне своих друзей на другом берегу Невы. Это было так неожиданно. Сначала я подумала, что ослышалась. Но посмотрев более внимательно в ту сторону, куда показывало дерево, я увидела два дерева той же породы, выделяющихся на фоне остальных. Я сказала, что люблю её. Мы попрощались. Это было удивительно. Если бы все люди могли так чувствовать деревья, они не посмели бы вырубать их.
Thank you for wonderful class! Magical passes were really helpful in slowing down and silent my mind, freeing space for communication with trees.
During the witness practice I found new view on the scene with my Mother. I’ve seen new aspect of responsibility, with fully awareness of what is going on and what consequences it can bring. So nothing is released to drift, nor is the responsibility shifted to other person.
Communication with the Tree. This time I found the same tree as the previous time. Communication started easily and immediately. The Tree recognized and accepted me. Perception instantly grew wider to the size of giant sphere. The Tree told me how old she is. It was like image of post-war time. She is my Mom’s peer. Then she answered my question and showed me her friends on the opposite side of Neva River. It was quite unexpected. At first, I thought I misheard. But looking more closely to the direction pointed by the Tree, I saw two trees of the same species that stand out from other trees. I told her that I loved her and said good-by. It was wonderful. If all human beings could feel trees like this, they couldn’t afford to cut them down thoughtlessly.
Beautiful, Marina! Wonderful to be with you and friends on the banks of the Neva River!
Dear all, thank you.
Thank you very much for a wonderful class.
Thank you for the magical passes, and thanks for the exercise “greeting of 7 directions”
When I realise directions, internal dialogue calms down also I extend, am straightened and I breathe deeply.
The sight is directed inside, and I can hear a heart voice.
During practice of the witness. When I repeated for the story-teller of a word and movement, I had an association, as if we trees.
As though we rustle from a strong wind, and then we calm down.
Behind a window poured a strong rain and I have decided to remain at home.
I have sat down before a window and began to communicate with a small plant on a window sill.
I have felt what this small and fragile plant, it very gentle and thin.I have felt that it still a sprout gaining in strength.
Then I have moved attention to a lilac bush which grows in metre from a window.
I have seen that all plants are very sociable, bushes especially. I beheld a bush of a lilac and saw as they communicate gently with each other,as they bind branches as though dance.
And then I began to look on a poplar which grow in 15 metres from my window. These trees in height about fifteen metres. I have felt that they giants both very strong and wise. That they as guards standing at road. They very attentive and careful to beings surrounding them.
I love a poplar very much. In the childhood I climbed on a poplar so it is high as could, I sat on a branch having embraced a tree and looked around till some hours.It were happy hours per my childhood.
Thanks all trees for their friendship and silent advices, for air which they give to us.
Thank you friends.
Denis.
Thank you Denis!
Thank you all for being a large ethereal family and thank you for this magic class!!
It triggered a vibratory sensation. It is felt first at the tips of the fingers when the branches are extended and reach into infinity. Then aided by the breath, slow speed and attention this tingling is augmented and it moves into the body. Long term practice of the tree form also amplifies this vibration. It is very healing, especially if i intend to reach out very very far into some amber-coloured (or other, or random) pool of light/energy/galaxy. Done in a steady way it really makes difference-the healed organ or area gets well and also starts to buzz with energy. When sometimes i do it in a helter-skelter way nothing happens.
Rootwise, since tennis ball activation pass my feet feel warm and i feel the energy and sensation going a little beyond the physical limits of the foot sometimes.
Then there is the part where we mash the crust and i use it to recycle residues of habits and attitudes of scorn and hate. At this stage i discover that any sense of division originates in a conglomerate of stuck fibers in me. Just observing them gently and “washing” them with breath cause them to ‘activate’ sometimes and they start to produce tickling-like impulse. We feel this impulse as irritability and then this conglomerate of stuck fibers want to trigger unhappy or selfrighteous thoughts to compensate for its ongoing disintegration (from breath, silent attention, not feeding it, etc.) By observing other beings i can see that they are going through the same things (aware or unaware) and when i remember this, instead of being cought in the formal mechanisms of a given unpleasant situation, gives me great sense of empathy and affection towards the other. This latter attitude now i happen to hold for days on end and it literally makes my double surface and make my body buzz! Then the dork wakes up and grotesque times restart :) i laugh alot at myself! Also when i do the passes sometimes i whisper “disolve the gargoyle (inside me), disolve the gargoyle, disolve the gargoyle…” it works nicely and gives me nice adventurous attitude.
Nyei was very sweet and elegant in applying the art of tensegrity of music: stepping in, then letting space for the other music parts/beings play, then stepping in, …beautiful!
The plant-being, Alice and Jake were very sweet when they showed us so elegantly how we can intertwine the magical passes in a daily situation in a most subtle way-thank you! It was also a nice example on how we can be artistic and learn a new role in the theater of infinity: by repetition, by borrowing the assemblage point position of the other, phrase by phrase with long-term consistency until a new current is formed. Same can be applied for acting, singing of playing an instrument by learing from someone else. This make me remember a few lines from a song from a dazzling artist Freddie Mercury: “…you can be anything you want to be…be free be free, surrender your ego, be free…” See you again in dream and awake! this is the song:
Thank you, Nuseers! A hint for intending and dreaming–we get more of what we focus on, so in addition to or even in place of stating what you want to dissolve, you could identify what you want to cultivate.
This is a wonderful hint thank you!! Infact i do practice it at all times -sense of awe and joy mark my days and nights-this is what i “get”! However when something triggers the pain body/stuck fibers i find it is extremely …’disolving’ for them to be watched silently and the little phrase (only a silly aid :P ) just …’disolves’ them. It is also very difficult because they will try to resist. The egoic mind cannot stand to be watched–it disolves, goes to pieces, loses its integrity. One may as well immediately focus on something creative, loving, roll the eyes, change the position of the assemblage point, etc., however i feel it is better to recapitulate the situation than just to shift attention from it. If not immediately then later. When one recapitulates something one has to focus (silent attention, not selfrightious dialogue) on it and it can be very irritating, this is why many don’t recapitulate. But then if one face the egoic mind in silence and breath it will disolve. The view from here…
PS rereading the second part of your reply–on stating something of integrity: every night, usually with the galaxy pass, i make a globe of energy and pass it through me encoding it with “energy, awareness, affection”. After amplifying it and poassing it through the vezrtical length of my luminous sphere–from the ground, up–then i send it in the earth’s field again whispering “energy, awareness, affection” and tell it to explode when it reaches the center of the Earth….lately i also add: “laughter!” :D
PS.PS. forgot to write this:
lately i hear the thmping of the Earth’s beat. Before i used to hear it only when falling asleep but these days i hear it even when doing passes in silence. It is the engline-like sound that Carlos Castaneda mentions at one point. On the internet some share that they hear it as well and that they feel it has accellerated. This is true for me too: i hear this sound slightly more accellerated–something like 8-9 Hz as opposed to some 7 beats per second a few years ago. I’m absolutely sure everyone can hear it if they listen silently with their entire field. State between awake and asleep or when accessing the energy body amplifies the sound and it can be very loud! It does indeed resemble enourmously truck engine running on idle!
I was unable to join your Dreaming Together programme, but have read the comments with great joy.
I have a small group of trees that I visit regularly, in a very private area near to my home. There I chant a chant that I was given by the Earth. In the early 1990′s I spent a night buried three feet down in the Earth with the idea of healing in my mind (not in the location of my trees). All night I found myself chanting a chant that I had never heard before (as far as I’m aware). It is this chant that I now chant to the trees and Earth and I feel that I am in a space of healing. I also practise some of the Magical Passes there. I love the Earth and the trees absolutely.
Is there a recording of the July workshop with trees that you did, that I could buy please? I would love to know if there are Magical Passes specific to communicating with trees that I might be able to learn. I have been practising Tensegrity (on and off!) since the mid 1990′s. Thank you.
Hello Annie, thank you, how wonderful to chant to the trees! We don’t have any recordings of the tree magical passes available yet, but if you visit a local practice group I’m sure someone would be glad to show you the Tree Form, and you can look to upcoming web classes as well to see if the Tree Form appears again!
Vivo en una casa en el piso de segunda planta con el balcon en las coronas de tres de pinos.
Al ver anuncio de la online clase el ultimo sabado , y por no tener testigo, pregunte uno de los arboles ..si quere ser mi testigo…
Inmediatamente mis oidos empezaron oir “juntos” una nueva forma de escuchar
.. oir un vacio, un sonido especial. ssssssssssssss
Mas tarde tenia dolor en el medio de la cabeza. Muy fuerte, algo se encogio.
Proximos dias, igual donde estaba, la senzacion de oir en otra forma …se estaba repitiendo
Me decidido participar en online clase.
Y cleargreen respondio con un un testigo con quien podia practicar..)
Con gran agradecimiento sali en el balcon
para preguntar los arboles si podemos estar juntos, que hacen…en este ..momento
Y..la respuesta era…”escucha, escucha…..
y vi y senti todos arboles , todos pinos alrededor
conectados escuchando los sonidos….escuchando espacio….
Era una sensation de energia unida que fluye , musica …que es todo.
Despues de la clase, estaba en la calle… mirando la gente,
todavia conectada con los arboles, vi la Gente, Sabios, Seres Grandes, Conscientes, y etonces, desde my cuerpo surgio
una ola del Respeto y la Compasión, tan fuerte que, casi me incliné al suelo …frente de ellos.
Saludos de Jelena
Gracias Jelena, Gracias Testigos Arboles!!!
A few impressions…
I had decided at the last minute before the webex to connect in a room at my local civic centre – since I could not connect at home. When I got there early in the morning, I was greeted by a semi-circle of cherry-blossom trees that were…a deep vivid blue!
I remembered they had been part of an artist’s project a few months back, to draw attention to trees in our lives, and protest deforestation. The trees looked very striking in the morning light with their deep blue trunks and branches. I spent some time appreciating these trees, they helped me set the tone of the morning. After the session, as I was leaving, the blue trees stopped me with an impulse to sit down on a bench with them. I felt a “wave” pass through me as the silence and connection from the class stayed with me, for what felt like a long time, but was just a few minutes.
(Here’s an article on the blue trees and the artist for those interested:
http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/print.aspx?postid=749823 )
A few days after the session, a very intense set of feelings surfaced for me in the middle of the night. I tried to keep breathing while allowing the feelings to happen, as was recommended in the class. Although I recognized the feelings as part of a something I’d been trying to unravel for some time now, the intensity of the emotions that surfaced had me doubting my sanity. But then immediately afterwards, as soon as I fell asleep again, I had a long chain of conscious dreams that were bright and hopeful, where I could focus on things like my hands (and toes!), hold the details of the environment, some other tasks, and at some points had the impression of meeting some of you from the class… It seems that for me, conscious dreaming tends to follow a recapitulation or emotional release of some intensity, either the same day or a few days after. I wonder if it always takes this much intensity in recapitulating to sustain conscious dreaming? Perhaps I just have a lot of baggage in the way!
Then the following weekend, I went to a class on energy healing organized by a work colleague, attended by people working in health rehabilitation. It turned out that one of the founders (Dora Kunz) of this particular modality had a great affection for trees and had developed the technique in the company (and guidance) of trees. The instructor also had a great love of trees and there was a lot of group connection with trees in the session. It was unexpected and delightful to come across tree-energy reflected back to me from my work life, of all places. It’s almost as if the webexs and practicing, had opened a door for tree-energy to surface from another direction in my daily life. It certainly would be wonderful to bring some of the tree-inspired intent into my daily work, and now I see more possibilities and ways to do it…
Many thanks and much love to all of you beings, out there and around. Being a part this webex series has brought me beyond anything I would have expected! Words really cannot express my gratitude (so I guess I will have to act with it instead).
Thank you, Mistycoast! interesting encounter and article! And good that you kept breathing as you let the feelings be and move! Also enlivening to read about a being who is guided by trees in her work! Maybe one day not so far away, we will see a tree or grove or forest named as the co-author of a book…or poem…or song…
