ISTA 1 – Bali

November 25 - December 1

Delve into the soul mysteries on the sacred lush land of Bali, often called “The Island of the Gods”. If your soul is stirring and you feel the calling to come, know you will be warmly welcomed by the land and our team.

The island of Bali is known for her core philosophy of Tri Hita Karana which emphasizes harmonious relationships between humans, nature, and Spirit.  We weave this philosophy into our training, and we open and close the training with a special Balinese ceremony guided by a Balinese priest.

Coming to Bali for level 1 is also a wonderful opportunity to spend time after the training to integrate on this beautiful island, and to spend time with the ISTA tribe here. There is a community already, and usually many of the participants are staying on for some days or even weeks after the training.

TRAINING 
This retreat focuses on clearing the physical and emotional body of shame, guilt and fear. The deeper transformation comes from reconnecting to your personal power. This is done through multiple pathways using the best of the ancient temple arts including Tantra, Taoist and Shamanic traditions and adding to this more modern-day NLP,  bioenergetics, guided visualization, emotional release, Kundalini activation, energy tracking, conscious touch and consent skills. The practices offered in this training are designed to touch us deeply at the core of our lives as embodied beings.

The list above is just a few of the practices we use to dive deep into the inner realms. The inner masculine and inner feminine archetypes are also explored because when they are fully integrated a door opens to a deeper knowing of the Self as whole and complete. Please don’t perceive that our use of the terms masculine and feminine is an indicator that ISTA operates from place of duality and gender separation. We do not, far from it, we realise that we are all masculine and feminine regardless of our physical form. We use this terminology as it is an effective model for understanding the different energies or qualities that each if us is made up of. They do not translate to men and women or male and female.

This event unfolds within a powerful group process based on safety, trust, unconditional love, intimacy and acceptance of what is arising. Note that if it is your truth, it is possible to complete the entire training/experience without touching another person.

By the end of this event, you will feel more in touch with your body, feel a sense of greater aliveness and presence, be more aware of your patterns and have some skills as to how to change them, have more awareness of your emotions and how to hold them, lighter and perhaps more relaxed. You will be more in touch with the effortless flow of life, no matter what it looks like.

ISTA Level 1 is a container that will allow, invite and offer you

  • Whatever your life situation is to stop, feel and take a look at yourself in a whole new way. This is an opportunity to wake up to your life.
  • It will invite you to take risks, meet and explore your edges in a safe container.
  • Provide you with essential life skills we all should have received as teenagers.
  • Provide a space for you to see, show and live from the you that lies beneath the mask. You will see more clearly where you are operating from ego, belief patterns of others and society.
  • It will show you where your inner masculine and inner feminine are immature, unhealthy or where they are in disbalance and it will guide you to bring them back towards union, love and integration. This is huge!
  • It will invite you to reconnect to, master and to learn to love your emotional body and heart power, as well as your physical self.
  • It will show you your glorious energy being and share skills as to how to dance with this energy body alongside your physical body.

  • Provide powerful opportunities for healing core wounds.
  • Remember how to love yourself, to feel the healing power of pleasure and it will offer you ways to expand your pleasure potential.
  • Offer you opportunities for deep healing around lost love, grief, self love and mother and father wounds.
  • To shine a light on places where culture, religion and society has kept us from expressing who we really are.
  • Take part in powerful rituals that can bring deep healing and power reclamation.
  • It will ask you to consider what your life might look like, if it was not controlled by societies expectations, ego, family, fear, shame and guilt?
  • It will plead with you to know what it truly is to be a sovereign being.

This training is open to ALL who feel called. This weeklong journey touches individuals of any age, background, race etc, if you choose to allow it and if you are open to receiving wisdom and gifts.

The ISTA experience has reached people in all of their diversity. Thousands of people have gone through this training now worldwide. The individuals cover a wide age range from 18 to 80, all orientations, and differing professions from students, artists, surgeons, and people from many different religions, races and nationalities. The greater the mix of prior experiences the richer the training!

Some people take this training for their own personal evolution, to gain a deeper self-connection and to enrich their relationships and empower their lives. Others are (also) interested in exploring how it will add to their own professional life.

We ask you this question:  Are You Ready to Jump Off the Edge?

We are so often at the precipice of something we have wanted to do, embody or achieve…… and we remain at the proverbial edge of the cliff, peering over the side, looking at the unknown below, searching with our mind for the answers. The mind has no real answers. And so we are afraid.

We may let our feet leave the ground, but more often than not we return to our comfort zone…because we are too afraid to feel the pain…really feel it all the way…and enter the gateway of new possibilities. What if you could jump when your being, your heart and your spirit knew it was time to change? In this training you will come to a point where you can choose, completely, resolutely and without reservation, to fling yourself off the edge…..and transform your life.
