It’s official! Tonight in the holy hills outside of Jerusalem, I was welcomed as ISTA’s newest faculty member. It feels like coming home. After teaching, hosting and leading ISTA events for almost a decade, I feel like ISTA is a tantric tribe that raised me! I am proud to help awaken sacred sexual consciousness across the planet. I’ll be teaching in Hawaii and bringing ISTA to San Diego in 2016.
Ready to come away with me!? Or are you still wondering, what exactly is ISTA?
The International Schools of Temple Arts is not an organization, but a living organism. We are a movement of thousands of self activating, directing and initiating individuals waking up to love, recognizing and synergizing with other expressions of ourselves around the world. We are currently active in over 30 countries and evolved from a small annual Daka-Dakini gathering (for professional sacred sexual healers) founded by my co-author, Baba Dez in Sedona, Arizona in 1997. The official website can be found at SchoolofTempleArts, but ISTA no longer has a central office, or manager. The official temple lives within the awakened body. ISTA is now a non-profit educational organization who’s mission is to bring forth the Ancient and Modern Temple Arts to expand consciousness and sexuality across through the wisdom of mystery schools. Trainings, festivals, gatherings, and other events come into being from the dreams and desire of local organizers, assistants, hosts that are responding to the organism, and the greater Field of Love.
We do this work through rituals, events, conferences, and trainings across all regions, tapping into the pulse of each culture, the land itself and connecting experts around the world. The most potent immersive week-long trainings are:
Level 1: Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience
Level 2: Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Initiation
Level 3: Leadership course by invitation only
This year, Baba Dez is stepping down from his position in the Governance circle. His last 3 ISTA courses this November in Scotland, Poland, and the first week of December in Melbourne. Ohad Ezrahi is stepping in to serve with Janine McDonald and Bruce Lyon. Other Lead Facilitators include: Andrew Barnes, Crystal Dawn, Elaine Young, Laurie Handlers, Triambika Vive, Also this year we mourn the loss of Deborah Taj Anapol RIP. If you are interested in collaborating please communicate with us via FaceBook ISTA community. The organism is looking to develop youth programs, help depressed people, and offers scholarships to people in need. ISTA’s field of love attracts so many beautiful beings with tremendous heart and vision. Joining an ISTA event is not a mental process, nor is it something you join because you like the teachers. It’s something you do when your ready to make your own soul your teacher.
I could talk about it, but really ISTA is something you have to experience for yourself! Watch this brief video I made before this year’s annual conference.
