What is ISTA?

Are you fully available emotionally, physically, spiritually and sexually?

Are you living free of fear, guilt or shame?

These feelings can be strong inhibitors to your essential life force. The subliminal and overt messages you received culturally and in childhood around around what is sacred in your sexuality and spirituality, can affect your ability to be intimate. Truly intimate.

Do you experience awkwardness in sexual situations? And wonder how you can truly relax into your pleasure?

This is a powerful break-through opportunity to awaken core aliveness and clear deepest conditioning about sexuality.

Do you long to be fully met?

Do you choose incompatible partners again and again? Or have you opted out of the relationship game altogether?

Perhaps you would simply like more profound intimacy within an existing relationship?

Would you like to access more of your personal power? Do you have the courage to face the unknown? Do you hold dreams to create a life of meaning, purpose and comnection without knowing how to access the power to make it happen?

You are invited to unfold into your potential with our international teachers Araminta Barbour, Niten Dyhan and Stephanie Phillips for this profound initiation.

THE PEOPLE

Thousands of people have attended the worldwide ISTA training on 5 continents over the past 11 years and have uncovered their core wounding and reactive patterns, and learned how to transform them into conscious ways of being that are empowering, loving, and feel fully alive. ISTA currently offers the Level 1 training in 40 countries a year.

THE ISTA EXPERIENCE

This training is aimed at people who are dedicated to evolving personal and planetary consciousness. Together as a group and as humanity as a whole, we play our part in co-creating heaven on earth.

Central to this intention is the full presence, personal & transpersonal awareness, personal empowerment, emotional intelligence, sexual health & wholeness, and a lifestyle which honours the interconnectedness of all things.

The journey of embracing one’s shadow is one of the key cornerstones & methods of personal transformation, liberation & expanded potential that will be explored in this training.

No prior knowledge of shamanism or sacred sexuality is necessary. Individuals and couples with previous experience are welcomed. The greater the mix of prior experiences, the richer the training!

This is an individual process that happens in a group environment and a level of ability to be self-responsible is needed to navigate the spiritual sexual shamanic space. ISTA is a mystery school and approaches trauma from the shamanic perspective of connecting with the body and soul. We recommend that if there is known deep-seated trauma, individuals seek one on one sessions and get the ok from their therapist before entering the group process.
