Ep. 13: Today's episode is a peek behind the scenes at my experience with ISTA – the International School of Temple Arts – immersing in a weeklong Shamanic Tantra and Sacred Sexuality training. I recorded this with Kacper, a soul brother I met on the ISTA journey, shortly after our training completed.

I love this episode, because it's such an raw view into our experience in this sacred sexuality immersion, and the insights and transformations we received on all things shadow work, healing shame, emotional processing, and creating authentic intimacy with ourselves and others.

We jam on all things:

What ISTA, sacred sexuality and the temple arts are all about
Our intentions coming in, and how they shifted through the process
Going through death and rebirth in the transformation process
How ISTA helped us bring up and heal our shame around sexuality
What shame really is, and why we have to move through it to release it
Why tantra is so much about intimate connection with self
Dealing with massive triggers in an intimate container
What is "the shadow", and how to integrate with it to become more whole
Becoming resilient to the daggers, thorns, and shadows we face in life
Dealing with projections that others put onto us
The power of emotional release
How others can be our mirror for shadows in relationships
Healing shadows from childhood trauma
Uncovering the shadow of "unworthiness" in relationships
Understanding the masculine/feminine dynamics of polarity
What’s behind “White knight” syndrome
Finding the distinction between authentic love and the need for validation
Processing the toxic patterns behind a breakup
Bringing our anxiety up from the unconscious to conscious to transmute and transform
