Participant Consent Agreement

Participant Consent Agreement

ISTA is a mystery school honoring the body, soul, and spirit integration.

ISTA is a celebration of life and a creation of spaces that invite life-force to vibrate and move freely.

ISTA’s initiatory program is a week-long experience. It is an individual process supported by a group field designed to awaken strong emotions and work with personal and sexual expression.

We work with group fields of human beings learning tools to navigate daily life. We offer explorations within a ritual setting and initiation experiences designed to support the practice of these tools, awakening dormant emotions, releasing old patterns of conditioning, and supporting conscious sexual expression.

We bring awareness and nourish aspects that emphasize self-responsibility as an essential requirement to navigate sexual, shamanic, and spiritual spaces.

As an ever-evolving organism, our growth has its challenges and demands. We continue reviewing and resetting as we move deeper into listening to inner guidance and how our interactions transform the space around us.

Our field acknowledges, continues to evolve, and includes some of the gifts of trauma-informed models. However, ISTA trainings are NOT a replacement for physical-emotional-mental therapy and are NOT focused on treating pathology.

ISTA trainings are also not presuming to treat complex trauma or personality disorders. If you suffer from severe trauma, mental illness, or are taking medications, we recommend that you consult your therapist/ psychiatrist to check if participating is advisable.

The ISTA field activates the life force and is, at times, emotionally intense. We recommend that individuals seek one-on-one sessions and get approval from their therapist before participating in this group process. Primarily if there are known deep-seated traumas or an inability to down-regulate oneself.

As a mystery school, ISTA approaches trauma from the shamanic perspective of connecting with the body and soul. Guided by a growth-centered view, ISTA supports consciousness-raising for those exposed to trauma to be agents in the creation of their own well-being rather than solely victims of traumatic events, thus, overcoming images of themselves as being powerless and being able to take charge of their lives.

Please consider if your mental health is ready and capable of undertaking such powerful initiations and if you can take responsibility for your mental stability.

PLEASE CONSIDER IF JOINING ISTA IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

In saying all of the above, we, the facilitators, acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to offer participants nondiscriminatory care, a consent focused space, and appropriate support concerning the process as you navigate the ISTA journey.

The ISTA facilitation team

I have read, understood, and agreed to the above terms and commitments and take 100% responsibility for such (please sign below)
