2024-04-29 - 2024-05-06 | Aspen Colorado, CO, United States
This training is specifically for those who’ve been around the sun 50+ times!
What does the SSSEx Intensive Involve?
This retreat focuses on clearing the physical and emotional baggage of shame, guilt and fear related to sexuality, power and authenticity.
Our curriculum utilizes multiple pathways of transformation originating from the ancient temple arts including Tantra, Taoist and Shamanic traditions combined with modern day practices like NLP, bioenergetics, guided visualization, emotional release, Kundalini activation, energy tracking, conscious touch and consent skills. The list above are just a few of the practices we use to dive deep into the inner realms.
About your facilitation team:
Three skilled Temple Arts Faculty, all international teachers in their own right, will share, inspire, guide and support you to bring light to the shadows where your power awaits to be reclaimed.
You will receive information, guidance and lots of experiential practice around self-love, boundaries and consent, emotional release, voice dialogue, neurological reprogramming, working with shamanic energy, owning one’s desires and the ability to manifest, conscious communication, ancient temple arts rituals and powerful sexual clearing and activation processes.
Who attends ISTA Level 1?
People aged 18 to 80 have participated in Level 1 trainings. They come from many different backgrounds, professions, religions, spiritual beliefs, races and nationalities.
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 interested in exploring how it will add to their own professional life, whatever that may be, and some are interested in the professions of Sacred Sexual Practitioner or Sexuality Educator.
Attendees include those from the various spiritual paths and the sexual paths of celibacy, monogamy, and polyamory. Couples, individuals and relationship groups of any formation are welcome, as are individuals of any sexual orientation and gender identity. The greater mix of diversity and prior experiences the richer the training!
What you can expect to receive in Level 1:
• The education around sex and relationships you would like to have received early on in your life.
• Clear frameworks around communication, boundaries, and empowered relating.
• Tools to reclaim power, self-sovereignty and respect.
• Emotional detoxing and masterful processing of feelings like rejection, abandonment, fear, desire, guilt, shame.
• Experience sexuality as a path of spiritual growth and healing: integration of spirituality and sexuality.
• Learn to be at home in your own skin.
• Sexual empowerment.
• Move beyond social conditioning and expectations.
• Gain precise self-awareness around unconscious shadows and tools to transform.
The entire training is designed to support all individuals to find, feel, claim, and express their highest Life/Self expression.
What do I need to know?
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.
No prior knowledge of shamanism or sacred sexuality is necessary to attend. Those with previous experience are warmly welcomed, as they add to the power of the field.
ISTA is a mystery school and approaches trauma from the shamanic perspective of connecting with the body and soul.
*We strongly 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.
What will I have to do?
Nudity and intimate touch are optional parts of this training. The cornerstone of this work is about consent, developing healthy boundaries and communication. You are always at choice (free to choose) and the facilitators will help you navigate what is authentic for you. If it is your truth, it is possible to complete the entire training experience without touching another person or taking your clothes off.

4 Day Priestess Training - Melbourne
2025-02-21 - 2025-02-24 | Warburton, Victoria, Australia
Learn how to assist men to reconnect with their sexual energy in a healthy way
Educating in the area of conscious sexuality is a rapidly expanding field. There’s been a growing awareness over the last few years, as people search for more authentic ways to connect, to express, to heal and to grow. Assisting this sexual awakening is incredibly important work. It can facilitate enormous growth for those seeking this experience, and can be deeply humbling as a life path.
A Tantric Synergy Priestess assists men through the steps for reconnecting with their sexual energy in a healthy way, allowing more pleasure and intimacy in their relating.
Tantric Synergy offers a unique practitioner training for those wanting to start this work, enhance an existing practice, or to enrich their personal life. Although it’s focussed on assisting men, this course is a deeply enriching and healing space for women to come together to remember their priestess archetype, create their own medicine as they learn this sacred art, conjure their own elixir and share in this together.

People are wanting old habits to change:
Our mainstream programming around sexuality interferes with our ability to connect, and we have been conditioned to operate predominantly in our heads. This shuts down our body wisdom, constricting the orgasmic flow through our bodies.
Tantric Synergy has, over the years, become a highly sought-after process. Guiding this journey requires knowledge, experience, skill, and empathy. What we need most in the area of sexuality educators and practitioners is an impeccable level of delivery that people can trust. Those considering Tantra to explore their sexual expression require a practitioner who embodies the above qualities.
They are reliant on the integrity and clarity of this guidance and these teachings. These are the non-negotiable, basic ingredients. This is what the Tantric Synergy Training is founded upon. Stephanie has developed this method over 30 years and she now shares it generously with others.

ISTA Level 1 - UK
2025-06-17 - 2025-06-23 | UK, United Kingdom
What does the SSSEx Intensive Involve?
This Training focuses on clearing the physical and emotional body of shame, guilt and fear related to sexuality and authenticity. The deeper transformation comes from reconnecting to your personal power, exploring sexuality is a fast path to encountering our own power challenges and gifts.
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 list above are just a few of the practices we use to dive deep into the inner realms. The inner masculine and inner feminine archetypes are explored because when they are fully integrated a door opens to a deeper knowing of the Self as whole and complete.
A note on Masculine & Feminine
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.
Unique to ISTA
Three skilled Temple Arts Faculty all international teachers in their own right will share, inspire, guide and support you to bring light to the shadows where our power awaits to be reclaimed. You will receive information, guidance and lots of experiential practice around self love, boundaries and consent, emotional release, voice dialogue, neurological reprogramming, Orgasmic Yoga, learning to work with shamanic energy, owning one’s desires and the ability to manifest, accessing and speaking from your contra-sexual self (i.e gender opposite), conscious communication, Transformational Shamanic Breathwork, ancient temple arts rituals of healing/initiation and a powerful sexual clearing and activation processes.
Supportive Group Process
This event unfolds within a powerful group process based on safety, trust, unconditional love, intimacy and acceptance of what is arising. By the end of this event, you will feel more in touch with your body, more aliveness and presence, more aware of your patterns and have some skills as to how to change them, more awareness of your emotions and how to hold them, lighter and perhaps more relaxed. You will be more in touch with effortless flow of life, no matter what it looks like.

I 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 cafe, sipping tea, peering over the edge looking at the unknown water below, searching with our mind for the answers. Of course, 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, your spirit knew it was time to change? In this training you will come to a point where you can choose, completely and resolutely, without reservation, to fling yourself off the rock…..and transform your life. What’s your edge? Are you ready to jump? What’s getting in your way? To find out….come and do this training. It will take you to your edge, expand you and change your life forever.

ISTA PT - Austria
2025-06-29 - 2025-07-08 | Private Venue, Austria
Continuing Personal Growth Education Towards Professional Development for ISTA Graduates.
Our aim is to support the graduates of ISTA to further their knowledge and transform their lives and careers into the field as skilled practitioners to facilitate sessions for somatic sexual healing.
In the ISTA Practitioner Training (ISTA-PT) we synthesize the powerful tools taught in the Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience with essential skills needed to guide powerful hands-on sexual transformational methods woven together over years of experience and developing the field of practitioner work.

The ISTA-PT is a holistic, in-depth system for transformation which emphasizes the power of sexual energy and the ways in which we can utilize the natural flow of this energy to provide a valuable framework for sexual wholeness, both in the sense of unraveling sexual “dysfunction” and in the sense of restoring trust and harmony between Masculine and Feminine. The ISTA-PT teaches how to facilitate sessions using these transformative tools.
This training is an essential guide for the modern day Daka/Dakini and Sexual Priest/Priestess.
In ISTA-PT, you will learn how to empower your client to understand, communicate and maintain healthy boundaries, needs and desires. Moreover, you will acquire the necessary skills to support your clients to activate and release their emotional body, using shamanic tools for transformation.
During the training, you will practice tuning into your own body wisdom which not only informs the work you do with your client, but also shows you how to meet them on a physical level, from a space of heart-centred connection.
An essential aspect of this work is activating energy and awakening through the heart. Thereby, you can empower your client to experience the presence of Love itself inside of his or her body rather than recycling past stories of shame, limitation, inadequacy, fear and guilt.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

The ISTA-PT curriculum involves four cornerstones: Foundations, Body, Energy & Emotions, Spirit. Each of the cornerstones addresses a fundamental area of sacred sexual practitioner work.
Plus Class handouts, plenty of practice, hands-on demonstrations and much much more!

This ISTA PT is taking place in a beautiful venue, surrounded by mountains and rich nature around!
The hotel provides all kinds of accommodation (including private), spaciousness, rich green nature, an indoor spa, a pool in the garden and great food for all tastes.
