The "assemblage point" is a central concept in the shamanic system described by Carlos Castaneda, related to perception and states of consciousness. Described as a glow about an arm's length behind the right shoulder blade, it's the center from which we perceive reality and reach different states of consciousness.

In collaboration with Gabriel Bergonzi, an instructor of energetic movements and part of the Being Energy health program, this animation seeks to visually interpret this transformative practice. The project is based on Castaneda's "The Magical Passes" and aims to capture the essence of moving the assemblage point—a shamanic practice that allows exploration of different perceptions and states of consciousness.
