ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL SEXUAL SHAMANIC EXPERIENCE
As humans, our deepest desire is for connection, but when our connection to ourselves is not optimal we can get stuck in repetitive relationship patterns or accepting and tolerating relationships that don’t serve us. Continually living with these kinds of patterns can cause us to feel lost, afraid or out of control.
The 7-day ISTA (Sexual Shamanic Spiritual Experience) Level 1 has been offered to thousands of people across five continents from more than fifteen years. In a safe environment with other people looking to take back control of their lives, graduates from these week-long experiences uncover and heal deep core wounds and reactive patterns. They leave feeling empowered, healed and courageous to take control of their lives and relationships.
The 7-day 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 visualisations, emotional release, energy tracking, conscious touch and ceremony to open a doorway into a deeper a knowing of the Self as whole and complete.

The ISTA level 1 SSSEx training is an individual process that happens in a group environment. 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.
ABOUT THE VENUE
-- Villa Sumaya, Lake Atitlán, Guatemala --
Guatemala is a jewel in Central America - unknown to most - and we welcome the chance to support your exploration of this beautiful land and its rich culture while journeying deeply on the spiritual, sexual, shamanic path. ISTA has been holding trainings annually in Guatemala since 2012, honored to be partnering with the world-class eco-retreat Villa Sumaya on the shores of stunning Lake Atitlán. Surrounded by three striking volcanoes and over 1,000 feet deep, this magnificent lake’s beauty is encapsulated in the meaning of the Mayan word Atitlán: “the place where the rainbow gets its colors.”
Villa Sumaya offers us one of the most luxurious hospitality experiences in Guatemala, and is the perfect spot for engaging in this life-changing work in a comfortable, magical and natural setting. The solar hot tub is available for you to soak and relax, as well as optional bodywork and astrology sessions. Villa Sumaya’s restaurant offers a splendid view of the lake, and a blend of local and international vegetarian cuisine. All food is carefully prepared and almost entirely locally sourced. The center operates in a sustainable, ecologically and socially engaged way.
