Pour la voie Tri Buana, le travail des « trois mondes »de Tapa Sudana,, Montreuil, 29 mai 2003.

30 Master considerations (klick here).

Montreuil February the 18th, 2005.

(klick for other images of lessons)

Tribuana,

3 worlds, 3 references of how to be, 3 references of doing things in life, 3 references in action. To install a habit in life that change ....... (life, result, quality of ..... , character, destiny, ....) it takes time, needs understanding, energy and daily action. We need everybody's participation in preparing the space, in taking the decision, for common interest, it is a work of a constellation/a togetherness.

In Tribuana 5 days residential workshop, we try to explore a "new" way of life, of doing thing, of behaving, of habits. The aims also to bring home some exercise, daily exercise to do, alone or in group. Doing thing together with others that involve thought, energy of life/emotion, movements. The 22 "lessons" are there to chose as instruments to explore, to practice. Tribuana theatre is a way, or an instrument to partice/to use.

The working-time could be spread from 5H30 in the morning until .....before dinner, to be fixed together. Each lesson preferable to do in a certain time of the day. This idea will change our habit and we need to adapt ourselves with the demand of the lesson. A considerable effort is needed. The comfortable feeling is not always there during the period of installation of a new habit.

As the one who guide the workshop, I try to feed human tribuana with "food". Food for the head (the triangle part) food for the round/circle: the emotional energy part, and food for the square/ the body part by doing movements: silat, Tongkat, Koukoul Jagat, tai chi .... see below the diagram of tribuana and the 22 lessons.

Tripass and Totem are personal-work that can give you an image of inner reflexion/mirror.

In doing the exercise, please don't think and do like school habit where the feeling of making mistake stick on you, where spirit of competiton drag you by trying to do the best, ..... but please try to be and to do in a natural way. Difficulties will be there but not let those difficulties to stop you. Not stoping by facility and difficulty, just go on the "way". If you feel that you can not do, mind you that you are always "can" do; you can, just accept in what level you are, like the tree and time, everyting is growing. When you doing is easy, try not to be satisfied and stop in that level, there always a growing value to grow, to work onward. Be patient and keep working on, find where is the "work", by the time we are doing, thing will develop, with time even cow can transform grass into milk. Hmm, ... Perseverence will bring fruit, and intelligence is an illuminated-direction to follow.

All concept will be put into question. Everything will be ajust and be harmonized with time, space and situation ..... that we will built it together. All type of question will be welcome. Answers will grow. Everybody try to pro-pose answers. If we invite the great-mind within us, we will be on the way of a great answer. Beyond the brain that produce intelligence there are MIND that remind us that we are not just we are; there are something plus inside us if we allow a space for THAT THING that remind us. What is that? Word can not name it; the work will give us image, words, sensation, experience of THAT THING that will enrich our vocabulary, experience that will create our expression, tribuanic expression: words, emotional/energy/voice, movement/physical expression.

Awakening and cultivating the expression is the work. Expression can be read as a mirror. Personal mirror or group mirror. The form could be theatrical, tribuanic theatrical expression. To express the inner "treasure" is leting grow onself like flower /plants in spring, is celebrating our nature, to be healthy, to be in harmony withsurrounding, with cosmic energy, with cosmic climate.

In a residential workshop, a personal work is possible as also a group work (how far? .... let's try and see), I will try to make those two ways possible ....... with you.

What do we need for this type of workshop? We need tribuanic health, be open, have some empty space inside to cultivate a "work", interest on other people as you interest to develope yourself, find and create a common language to be able to exchange thought/idea/mistery, to understand - to express- and to do "work" alone or with others.

Tribuanic questionnaire is important to to so everybody can have information on others. (As far you open yourself to others as deep as the work will be). You may take the freedom to open or to close yourself, the way you link yourself with the world around you.

Any question is welcome, write to tribuana@wanadoo.fr
