We solve the complex Einstein equations for Bianchi I and II models formulated in Ashtekar variables. We then solve the reality conditions to obtain a parametrization of the space of Lorentzian solutions in terms of real canonically conjugate variables. In the Ashtekar variables, the dynamics of the universe point particle is governed by only a curved supermetric---there is no potential term. In the usual metric formulation the particle bounces off a potential wall in flat superspace. We consider possible characterizations of this `bounce' in the potential-free Ashtekar variables.
