Terra also hosts the transformational 7-day ISTA retreats in Guatemala and Belgium. The ISTA (International School of Temple Arts) sexual shamanic intensives are one-week in-person trainings that encourage and support participants to reclaim their sovereignty and inner knowing, and assist people to stand up strong in the world as the fully alive human beings they came here to be.
Terra hosts an annual Queer-inviting ISTA Level 1 training in Belgium, and also hosts multiple ISTA week long trainings at the potent Lake Atitlan in Mayan Guatemala
In our workshops and retreats we create spaces for all that we are to be seen and to be expressed as; spaces that support great healing, fun, and reconnection with oneself and with others. Like this, we help empower people to stand up as they truly are. We aim to create an inclusive field, where we all get to experience a variety of reference points on what it is to be human on this planet. And to get to know more of ourselves while becoming more compassionate and understanding towards others. All our offerings welcome and celebrate beings of all gender identities, socio-cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and expressions.
