First day at ISTA (Institute of Temple Arts and Shamanism) - way different from my previous tantra classes and conscious sexuality courses. The training focuses on boundaries, consent, self-love practices, and shamanic tools. Met a mix of experienced play party folks and newcomers to conscious spaces. This 5-day journey into temple arts started with some taxi drama before diving into conscious communication exercises and integration circles. The facilitators bring a grounded approach to shamanic tools and self-love practices, setting this apart from typical tantra classes. For anyone curious about ISTA training or conscious sexuality workshops - here's the unfiltered day one experience, from opening ceremonies to evening integration. Still figuring out how I feel about all the talk of disregulation and temple ceremonies ahead.
