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.

Saturday: 10am – 5:30pm Temple: 7pm – 10pm

Tickets:
Day workshop + Temple: $250 – $270

Book here: https://www.trybooking.com/DCJNL
Venue: Hawthorn, Victoria
*This event books out, so please don’t delay reserving your spot.
The workshop is open to anyone who feels called to learn about Tantra and conscious sexuality. There will also be some there who are repeating because it has been so valuable for them. This is a whole new way of relating, which sheds the layers of old habits and conditioning.
It’s the first step in letting go of any pressure, obligation or goal-oriented striving around sex:
– to embrace your fullness, connecting sexual energy to the heart and through the whole body
– to get out of your head and drop into your body, allow it to open, and invite more love and pleasure through your whole being
Practices include:
– Creating boundaries and agreements
– Consent practices
– Simple techniques to open the energy pathways, and connect orgasmically to the heart, and through the whole body.
– Expressing your authentic voice
– Learning to give and receive a sensual massage ( the level of touch will be governed by what is comfortable for you)
– Communication for healthy relating
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Guided sensory banquet
We work with your sexual nature and its expression through the whole body, rather than just the goal-centred habits. Your awakened self is sexual, but in a new way – it’s more connected, deeper and authentic. There’s more pleasure here, with more subtle nuance.
This is a reset to connect authentically, and find an attunement that transmutes beyond the physical.
There may be conscious touch, in a way that is connected and present. You’ll be learning practices to slow down without an agenda, and bring awareness to the subtle, explore the spectrum of depth to light play, and drop any habitual going-for-a-goal.
You will leave the workshop with practices to take home to explore privately, and with a whole new path of intimacy to discover.
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Transmitting this awakened current through your heart connection
– Authentic expression of orgasmic and emotional embodiment with trust and safety
– Exercises to let go of old patterns around pressure, obligation or goal-oriented sex.
This immersion is crafted from Stephanie’s years of shamanic work with groups, and transpersonal / tantric teachings around the world.
What is offered at Intro to Tantra + Temple comes from this place, and will bring a unique, rich and expertly held experience.
You are supported in finding what is true for you, so that you can be in your sovereignty, without feeling pressured. At the same time, you’ll awaken the parts of you that yearn to be seen and expressed. This work can be deeply healing, and can change other aspects of your life, as you release blocks and old conditioning which hold you back from expressing your full authentic self.
There is no need to undress ( or to stay clothed), and everyone is different. The amount of disrobing is completely your choice.
The content is paced for the group, and each person is encouraged to stay with what feels right for them. There is no benchmark of ‘liberation’ to achieve for anybody. People’s personal choices are always respected.
This is about learning to stay present in the body, so that we can connect more authentically. There will be conscious touch practices, remaining present to your own experiences while connecting with another.
You will receive a whole new perspective about expressing your sexuality, about your ability to give and receive, and to feel more pleasure and intimacy.
The take-home booklets, “Sex With Your Light On” and “The Sacred Lover” will be available for purchase over the weekend, to support your new awareness at home. ($20 each or $35 for both).
There are cafes nearby for lunch, or you can bring your own. There is a kitchenette available for preparation.
Singles, couples and all genders welcome.
* Temple Night is a beautiful completion for all that we have learned during the day. It brings into practice an ease about where and how to be, making choices that feel good, and being honoured for those choices. We will collaborate as a group about how the evening runs. For example, we may create different ‘stations’ throughout the room: Group Puja, Foot massage, Cuddle puddle, Rope tying, Dance floor area, Quiet corner, Goddess worship chair (one of my favourites :-)) etc
I will guide the evening, and there will be a support team in the space as well. It is a gentle opportunity to connect with yourself and/or others, without pressure. It is a an alcohol/substance free space. Nudity and/or being sexually explicit is not expected, but it’s not ruled out for those who choose either.
Cancellation Policy: Booking for all events is non-refundable.
With 48 hours notice prior to commencement, a credit may be given for the next event.

Her integrity with her work, her ability to read the room and give us exactly what we need, her knowledge and embodied wisdom in Tantra & sacred sexuality is just incredible. She is truly a rare teacher to find. If you’re in this journey to get to know yourself intimately, go deeper, I highly recommend her events.” Selenge
“A quick note to say thanks for holding the space for us to delve into this next level of our personal journey of discovery.

Thank you for guiding me back home to my body’s inner wisdom through your unique practices and guidance.” Steve

Mysteries of the Dark - Weekend for Women
2025-08-22 - 2025-08-24 | Warburton, Victoria, Australia
Weekend for Women
We live in extraordinary times. There are shifts coming on the planet, and we are all here to play our part.
Mysteries of the Dark is an immersion for women to come together in resonance, to bring through a frequency for change through the song-lines, to drop deeply in as a group to work with our deep knowing, to come together away from the busy-ness, the chatter and the noise.This weekend we gather to be in communion with the earth. To bring through the mysteries that we hold in our being. In our hearts. In our wombs. And we weave this memory of ancient ways through connection with the land, through our bodies, and through sharing sacred space together.We anchor our vision through potent energetic work, land-based journeying, and spiralling deeply through the body, to collectively remember the mysteries that we are rebirthing into this world.This retreat will be held on Stephanie’s stunning four-acre sanctuary of magical gardens and old growth trees, in the deeply feminine embrace of the Yarra Valley, at Warburton. We will be nestled between statuesque Mt Donna Buang and the powerful Birrarung river.

.
The ancient ones and the unseen allies support us. We connect with the trees, the earth, the waters, and the nature beings that live here and witness our remembering.This is an opportunity for a group merging, a deep connection with Self, with the earth, and with each other. This is not a workshop for skills and techniques, or working on the personal self. This is a space where you bring your knowing, your future self, your deepest call, because you’re ready to facilitate the awakening as the planet crosses the threshold into a frequency of anchored truth and love.This is a group activation for self and for the collective, a coming home, and a soul-call journey. It’s an opportunity to drop in beyond the layers of the personal that you’ve developed in order to function in a world that doesn’t support the deepest power within us. We’re here to draw upon the wisdom that we hold in our core, and the connection to our vibrational essence.
.
Pre-requisites:

~ This is an opportunity to surrender to the deep descent of ancient wisdom.~ We will have shared group experiences, and solo journeys that take us into our soul remembering.~ There will also be embodiment practices to awaken the dormant codes, and to open the orgasmic current that resides in us all.~ We will be working with ancestral lineage healing to clear anything that has been passed down generationally that does not serve us now, and also to receive their forgotten gifts.~ We will be accessing our inner knowing in ritual space together.
.
We sit in circle, move, and activate what opens through us. We’ll be with what is alive and what needs to shift for the greater good. We will share in the wildness, the fragility, the tenderness and the awe of our full expression.
This immersion is also a time for nurturing, nourishment, and rest. There will be time to journal, to reflect, to lie on the earth, for stillness and gentle reflection. We’ll also make use of the outside traditional cedar sauna, plunge bath and fire pit.

This immersion is being birthed for the first time, and in connection with the magical land we’ll be journeying on. This is the beginning of regular gatherings, building over time, for women who are aligned in this journey.
.
Stephanie is a powerful guide into the deep remembering of our innate wisdom. She draws on her extensive background in Dance, Psychotherapy, Remedial massage and the Healing Arts. She initiates new pathways for deeper connection to self, by embracing the full spectrum of our body’s wisdom. She honours the sacred practices that connect us with our authentic selves and the deep mysteries. She takes those who dare on a journey beyond the 3D and into the realms of ecstatic current and awakening. She’s dedicated to un-ravelling belief systems and patterns that keep us from coming home to our body wisdom. All this with warmth, clarity, deep holding and a dedicated commitment for bringing through the new earth.
.
What participants of previous retreats with Stephanie have said:“Lifetimes of knowledge condensed into a weekend. Profound journeys balanced with plenty of rest allowing the body to remember and gently return home. Deep gratitude to Stephanie for standing tall and steadfast in this truth, bringing this transmission, so that we can vibrate alive and present innocent and wise in the world.”– Becky, April 2022“Thank you for incredible days of deep journeying with all of the parts of me. An opportunity to tune in deeply with my blocks and my attachments to them – and then to release them. It’s been a potent journey with such delicious slow tenderness. I’ve felt so very safe and completely held and the deep personal shifts have been profound. I came away with a clarity and ease in my body that’s completely new.”– Heidi, April 2022– – – – – – –The upcoming Mysteries of the Dark immersion is a unique opportunity to work with the wisdom and expertise of an accomplished leader in the field who has supported thousands of people to transform their lives.

ISTA Level 1 - Melbourne
2025-12-06 - 2025-12-12 | Private Venue – Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia
This training is open to ALL who are called!
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.
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.
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.

Practices include:
– Creating boundaries and agreements
– Consent practices
– Simple techniques to open the energy pathways, and connect orgasmically to the heart, and through the whole body.
– Expressing your authentic voice
– Learning to give and receive a sensual massage ( the level of touch will be governed by what is comfortable for you)
– Communication for healthy relating
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Guided sensory banquet
We work with your sexual nature and its expression through the whole body, rather than just the goal-centred habits. Your awakened self is sexual, but in a new way – it’s more connected, deeper and authentic. There’s more pleasure here, with more subtle nuance.
This is a reset to connect authentically, and find an attunement that transmutes beyond the physical.
There may be conscious touch, in a way that is connected and present. You’ll be learning practices to slow down without an agenda, and bring awareness to the subtle, explore the spectrum of depth to light play, and drop any habitual going-for-a-goal.
You will leave the workshop with practices to take home to explore privately, and with a whole new path of intimacy to discover.
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Transmitting this awakened current through your heart connection
– Authentic expression of orgasmic and emotional embodiment with trust and safety
– Exercises to let go of old patterns around pressure, obligation or goal-oriented sex.
This immersion is crafted from Stephanie’s years of shamanic work with groups, and transpersonal / tantric teachings around the world.
What is offered at Intro to Tantra + Temple comes from this place, and will bring a unique, rich and expertly held experience.
You are supported in finding what is true for you, so that you can be in your sovereignty, without feeling pressured. At the same time, you’ll awaken the parts of you that yearn to be seen and expressed. This work can be deeply healing, and can change other aspects of your life, as you release blocks and old conditioning which hold you back from expressing your full authentic self.
There is no need to undress, and you are always at choice about your participation. We’ll be attuning to synergy and alignment, rather than going beyond the group’s capacity.
The content is paced for first timers, and each person is encouraged to stay with what feels right for them. There is no benchmark of ‘liberation’ to achieve for anybody. People’s personal choices are always respected.
This is about learning to stay present in the body, so that we can connect more authentically. There will be conscious touch practices, remaining present to your own experiences while connecting with another.
You will receive a whole new perspective about expressing your sexuality, about your ability to give and receive, and to feel more pleasure and intimacy.
The take-home booklets, “Sex With Your Light On” and “The Sacred Lover” will be available for purchase over the weekend, to support your new awareness at home. ($20 each or $35 for both).
There are cafes nearby for lunch, or you can bring your own. There is a kitchenette available for preparation.
Singles, couples and all genders welcome.
* Temple Night is a beautiful completion for all that we have learned during the day. It brings into practice an ease about where and how to be, making choices that feel good, and being honoured for those choices. We will collaborate as a group about how the evening runs. For example, we may create different ‘stations’ throughout the room: Group Puja, Foot massage, Cuddle puddle, Rope tying, Dance floor area, Quiet corner, Goddess worship chair (one of my favourites :-)) etc
I will guide the evening, and there will be a support team in the space as well. It is a gentle opportunity to connect with yourself and/or others, without pressure. It is an alcohol/substance free space. Nudity and/or expressing sexually is not expected, but it’s not ruled out for those who choose either.
Cancellation Policy: Booking for all events is non-refundable.
With 48 hours notice prior to commencement, a credit may be given for the next event.

Your guide:
Stephanie is a powerful guide for un-ravelling belief systems and patterns that keep us from coming home to our true body wisdom. She initiates a remembering beyond the programming, and into the realms of ecstatic current and awakening, for a deeper connection to self. Through sacred practices that honour the ancient ways, she embraces the full spectrum of our body’s remembering as we merge with the deeper mysteries. All this with warmth, clarity, and some irreverence sprinkled in with the deep honouring.
What others Say:
“This is a great opportunity to explore one’s depth. There are widely diverse participants who bring a rich variety of experiences. If you haven’t done anything like this then you won’t be alone. Stephanie brings together years of experience and abilities. These are presented in such a way that even people new to this kind of work will feel satisfied there is a great understanding of how to explore these aspects of themselves in a skilful and sensitive way.” Adam

Mysteries of the Dark - Weekend for Women
2026-05-01 - 2026-05-03 | Warburton, Victoria, Australia
Weekend for Women
We live in extraordinary times. There are shifts coming on the planet, and we are all here to play our part.
Mysteries of the Dark is an immersion for women to come together in resonance, to bring through a frequency for change through the song-lines, to drop deeply in as a group to work with our deep knowing, to come together away from the busy-ness, the chatter and the noise.This weekend we gather to be in communion with the earth. To bring through the mysteries that we hold in our being. In our hearts. In our wombs. And we weave this memory of ancient ways through connection with the land, through our bodies, and through sharing sacred space together.We anchor our vision through potent energetic work, land-based journeying, and spiralling deeply through the body, to collectively remember the mysteries that we are rebirthing into this world.This retreat will be held on Stephanie’s stunning four-acre sanctuary of magical gardens and old growth trees, in the deeply feminine embrace of the Yarra Valley, at Warburton. We will be nestled between statuesque Mt Donna Buang and the powerful Birrarung river.

The ancient ones and the unseen allies support us. We connect with the trees, the earth, the waters, and the nature beings that live here and witness our remembering.This is an opportunity for a group merging, a deep connection with Self, with the earth, and with each other. This is not a workshop for skills and techniques, or working on the personal self. This is a space where you bring your knowing, your future self, your deepest call, because you’re ready to facilitate the awakening as the planet crosses the threshold into a frequency of anchored truth and love.This is a group activation for self and for the collective, a coming home, and a soul-call journey. It’s an opportunity to drop in beyond the layers of the personal that you’ve developed in order to function in a world that doesn’t support the deepest power within us. We’re here to draw upon the wisdom that we hold in our core, and the connection to our vibrational essence.

We sit in circle, move, and activate what opens through us. We’ll be with what is alive and what needs to shift for the greater good. We will share in the wildness, the fragility, the tenderness and the awe of our full expression.

This isn’t a regular training. This is a co-creation, a shared manifesting experience, guided, held and hosted by Stephanie.
This immersion is being birthed in connection with the magical land we’ll be journeying on. We have started regular gatherings here, building a rhythm for women who are aligned in this journey.
.
Stephanie is a powerful guide into the deep remembering of our innate wisdom. She draws on her extensive background in Dance, Psychotherapy, Remedial massage and the Healing Arts. She initiates new pathways for deeper connection to self, by embracing the full spectrum of our body’s wisdom. She honours the sacred practices that connect us with our authentic selves and the deep mysteries. She takes those who dare on a journey beyond the 3D and into the realms of ecstatic current and awakening. She’s dedicated to un-ravelling belief systems and patterns that keep us from coming home to our body wisdom. All this with warmth, clarity, deep holding and a dedicated commitment for bringing through the new earth.
.
What participants of previous ‘Mysteries Of the Dark’ have said:

“As the sun goes down on this weekend, I am full of gratitude & thanks to Stephanie and my sisters who have walked the Mysteries of the Dark journey with me. I am stripped bare & reborn, having tunnelled deep and risen full of light & love, ready to take these gifts back into my life. I am healed & blessed.” Helen

“Mysteries of the Dark felt like returning to something ancient in me: a truth buried beneath roles and routines, a hum in my bones that finally had space to sing. Steph, your presence was a temple. Your guidance, a remembering. You held the dark not as something to fear, but as the place we return to when we are ready to meet ourselves completely.
What happened here was more than a retreat. It was a rite of passage. A once-in-a-lifetime portal made sacred by the women who dared to enter it together. My heart is cracked open in the best way. And my wish is this: that more women find their way to your fire, and drink from the medicine you so generously pour. Thank you, with everything I am.” Kristie

“When Steph gathers her council of women to sit in deep reverence with each other, those of us who heed the call to live the essence of who we are are forever bound to that truth…” Tinoiiva
– – – – – – –The upcoming Mysteries of the Dark immersion is a unique opportunity to work with the wisdom and expertise of an accomplished leader in the field who has supported thousands of people to transform their lives.

The workshop is open to anyone who feels called to learn about Tantra and conscious sexuality. There will also be some there who are repeating because it has been so valuable for them. This is a whole new way of relating, which sheds the layers of old habits and conditioning.
It’s the first step in letting go of any pressure, obligation or goal-oriented striving around sex:
– to embrace your fullness, connecting sexual energy to the heart and through the whole body
– to get out of your head and drop into your body, allow it to open, and invite more love and pleasure through your whole being
Practices include:
– Creating boundaries and agreements
– Consent practices
– Simple techniques to open the energy pathways, and connect orgasmically to the heart, and through the whole body.
– Expressing your authentic voice
– Learning to give and receive a sensual massage ( the level of touch will be governed by what is comfortable for you)

The workshop is open to anyone who feels called to learn about Tantra and conscious sexuality. There will also be some there who are repeating because it has been so valuable for them. This is a whole new way of relating, which sheds the layers of old habits and conditioning.
It’s the first step in letting go of any pressure, obligation or goal-oriented striving around sex:
– to embrace your fullness, connecting sexual energy to the heart and through the whole body
– to get out of your head and drop into your body, allow it to open, and invite more love and pleasure through your whole being
Practices include:
– Creating boundaries and agreements
– Consent practices
– Simple techniques to open the energy pathways, and connect orgasmically to the heart, and through the whole body.
– Expressing your authentic voice
– Learning to give and receive a sensual massage ( the level of touch will be governed by what is comfortable for you)
– Communication for healthy relating
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Guided sensory banquet
We work with your sexual nature and its expression through the whole body, rather than just the goal-centred habits. Your awakened self is sexual, but in a new way – it’s more connected, deeper and authentic. There’s more pleasure here, with more subtle nuance.
This is a reset to connect authentically, and find an attunement that transmutes beyond the physical.
There may be conscious touch, in a way that is connected and present. You’ll be learning practices to slow down without an agenda, and bring awareness to the subtle, explore the spectrum of depth to light play, and drop any habitual going-for-a-goal.
You will leave the workshop with practices to take home to explore privately, and with a whole new path of intimacy to discover.
– Opening pleasure pathways through the body
– Transmitting this awakened current through your heart connection
– Authentic expression of orgasmic and emotional embodiment with trust and safety
– Exercises to let go of old patterns around pressure, obligation or goal-oriented sex.
This immersion is crafted from Stephanie’s years of shamanic work with groups, and transpersonal / tantric teachings around the world.
What is offered at Intro to Tantra + Temple comes from this place, and will bring a unique, rich and expertly held experience.
You are supported in finding what is true for you, so that you can be in your sovereignty, without feeling pressured. At the same time, you’ll awaken the parts of you that yearn to be seen and expressed. This work can be deeply healing, and can change other aspects of your life, as you release blocks and old conditioning which hold you back from expressing your full authentic self.
There is no need to undress, and you are always at choice about your participation. We’ll be attuning to synergy and alignment, rather than going beyond the group’s capacity.
The content is paced for first timers, and each person is encouraged to stay with what feels right for them. There is no benchmark of ‘liberation’ to achieve for anybody. People’s personal choices are always respected.
This is about learning to stay present in the body, so that we can connect more authentically. There will be conscious touch practices, remaining present to your own experiences while connecting with another.
You will receive a whole new perspective about expressing your sexuality, about your ability to give and receive, and to feel more pleasure and intimacy.
The take-home booklets, “Sex With Your Light On” and “The Sacred Lover” will be available for purchase over the weekend, to support your new awareness at home. ($20 each or $35 for both).
There are cafes nearby for lunch, or you can bring your own. There is a kitchenette available for preparation.
Singles, couples and all genders welcome.
* Temple Night is a beautiful completion for all that we have learned during the day. It brings into practice an ease about where and how to be, making choices that feel good, and being honoured for those choices. We will collaborate as a group about how the evening runs. For example, we may create different ‘stations’ throughout the room: Group Puja, Foot massage, Cuddle puddle, Rope tying, Dance floor area, Quiet corner, Goddess worship chair (one of my favourites :-)) etc
I will guide the evening, and there will be a support team in the space as well. It is a gentle opportunity to connect with yourself and/or others, without pressure. It is an alcohol/substance free space. Nudity and/or expressing sexually is not expected, but it’s not ruled out for those who choose either.
Cancellation Policy: Booking for all events is non-refundable.
With 48 hours notice prior to commencement, a credit may be given for the next event. There is a 12 month expiry on credits.

WHAT OTHERS SAY:
“Wow!… Words do not do this justice. What a cracker. I feel like I have been reborn, a new man; a sacred warrior. I danced, I cried, I orgasmed out of my head! I went solo and left feeling so connected to all the wonderful people that went, who I now consider friends, and more connected to my body and everything really. My heart is open and the emotions are overflowing. I’m excited where the magic will take me next. Ah ho! Bring it on. Thank-you thank-you thank-you Stephanie and all. Big love.” Steve

Your guide:
Stephanie is a powerful guide for un-ravelling belief systems and patterns that keep us from coming home to our true body wisdom. She initiates a remembering beyond the programming, and into the realms of ecstatic current and awakening, for a deeper connection to self. Through sacred practices that honour the ancient ways, she embraces the full spectrum of our body’s remembering as we merge with the deeper mysteries. All this with warmth, clarity, and some irreverence sprinkled in with the deep honouring.
What others say:
“This is a great opportunity to explore one’s depth. There are widely diverse participants who bring a rich variety of experiences. If you haven’t done anything like this then you won’t be alone.
