Finished up ISTA Level 1 with closing ceremonies and a final sharing circle where I learned my "huge energy" had triggered some people - turns out doing energy work daily has effects I hadn't considered. The temple arts training brought up things I never expected, especially about how we impact each other in these spaces. Through all the sacred spot rituals, temple nights, and group practices, I discovered something important: you can't tiptoe around trying to avoid triggering people. The biggest lesson from this ISTA workshop wasn't about sexuality or tantra - it was about owning your presence while letting others have their reactions. These conscious sexuality trainings aren't for everyone, and that's fine. What matters is that spaces like this exist for those who want them. Met some seriously intelligent people here - doctors, engineers, therapists - all choosing to explore what most of society dismisses. If you're curious about what happens at ISTA workshops or temple arts training, start with Episode 1. Everything that shifted over these seven days surprised me. #ISTA #ConsciousnessDevelopment #PersonalGrowth00:00 Morning logistics and flight booking concerns 02:15 Final pod meeting reflections 04:30 Last dance and reveal circle - feedback about triggering others 06:45 Processing feedback about my "big energy" 08:20 Meaningful interactions during final sharing 10:15 Addressing avoidance and seeking closure 12:30 Closing ceremony and attempted conversations 14:45 Reflections on different types of connections made 16:20 Thoughts on temple spaces and personal choices 18:40 Gratitude for the whole experience 20:15 Final thoughts on personal growth and future paths 22:00 Closing words and goodbye to ISTA ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ Want more?
