*More About the ISTA Level 1 in Belgium*
Special Invite for the LGBTQIA+ Community & Allies!
The ISTA (Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience) Level 1 has been offered to thousands of people across five continents for more than fifteen years. As a group of people taking back control of their lives, graduates from these week-long experiences uncover and transform deep core wounds and reactive patterns. They leave feeling empowered, healed and courageous to take control of their lives and relationships.
The level 1 SSSEx residential experience gives you a space to clear your physical, emotional and mental bodies of shame, guilt and fear. We use guided visualizations, emotional release, energy tracking, conscious touch and ceremony to open a doorway into a deeper a knowing of the Self as whole and complete.
From this place, a personal and collective inquiry into the sacredness, depth and integration of our sexual life force energy starts. As integrating adults supported by a fresh framework of emotional intelligence and connection with the body, we learn to relate to our erotic expression anew. Together, we give it a permission field to grow in love, and aim to create for it a new reference field that fits the one of an empowered, emotionally connected, fully alive human.
*Special Invite for the LGBTQIA+ Community & Allies*
What Does This Mean?
ISTA trainings welcome and celebrate all expressions of humanity. Beyond tools and support for emotional embodiment and empowered living, the Level 1 program offers a deep exploration into the healthy expression of the full gender spectrum. Within this transformational space, we invite and celebrate people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and spiritual paths.
ISTA as a whole works to offer as inclusive a container as possible, so that its body of work can be received powerfully by participants from all walks of life.
That said, ISTA containers are always different and unique depending on location, faculty, and the individuals each training attracts. In some trainings, members of the LGBTQIA+ community are underrepresented, which may mean their journey in the group setting can mirror dynamics and challenges of their everyday reality. Even though that in and of itself can be healing, this can also keep them from opening layers of transformation and connection that would be available with people of more diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
This particular training offers an intentional portal into ISTA's life-changing work within a group container where the majority of participants are walking—or deeply familiar with—the queer-specific path of life, its blessings, and its challenges. We will join in circle to find healing and empowerment in ourselves and in community, welcoming supportive allies and those exploring their own queer identity, and stand taller in the fullness of who we are—together.
