The Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience

As humans, our deepest desire is for connection, but when our connection to ourselves is not optimal we can get stuck in repetitive relationship patterns or accepting and tolerating relationships that don’t serve us. Continually living with these kinds of patterns can cause us to feel lost, afraid or out of control.

The 7-day ISTA (Sexual Shamanic Spiritual Experience) Level 1 has been offered to thousands of people across five continents from more than fifteen years. In a safe environment with other people looking to take back control of their lives, graduates from these week-long experiences uncover and heal deep core wounds and reactive patterns. They leave feeling empowered, healed and courageous to take control of their lives and relationships.

The level 1 SSSEx residential experience gives you a space to clear your physical, emotional and mental bodies of shame, guilt and fear. We use guided visualizations, emotional release, energy tracking, conscious touch and ceremony to open a doorway into a deeper understanding of the Self as whole and complete.

Is This Training For You?

Thousands of people on 5 continents have gone through this training worldwide, the individuals cover a wide age range from 18 to 80, varied backgrounds and professions, all sexual orientations, relationship styles and gender identities, from every world religion, nationality and ethnicity. As this training is a week-long journey through life’s core experiences and wounds as a collective human experience, bringing an open mind and heart will allow one to receive the gifts of wisdom, healing and growth. No previous experience of sacred sexuality, tantra or shamanism is required to participate and everyone is welcome.

Some people take this training for their own personal evolution and healing. Others are interested in exploring how the training adds to their business or professional life. Many are interested, entering or already belong to the profession of Sacred Sexual Practitioner or Sexuality Educator. Optional nudity and safe intimate touch are a part of this training, however, you are always at choice and the facilitators will help you navigate what is authentic for you.

This course is open to all who are called. Experience is not required.

The ISTA level 1 SSSEx training is an individual process that happens in a group environment. A level of ability to be self responsible is needed to navigate the spiritual sexual shamanic space. ISTA is a mystery school and approaches trauma from the shamanic perspective of connecting with the body and soul. We recommend that if there is known deep seated trauma, individuals seek one on one sessions and get the OK from their therapist before entering the group process.

BRIANA CRIBEYER

FACULTY United States

Briana was born under the full moon in the Midwest of the United States as the youngest daughter of a high priestess. She grew up eavesdropping on the creation of rituals and ceremonies of the sacred. She talked to plants and animals and listened deeply to their messages. Years later, fleeing the Midwest, she found wisdom in the mountains and forests of Colorado, New Hampshire, Washington– and living abroad in Japan and throughout South America. In that time, she absorbed the ways of the elders, and began to craft her connection back to the mother (earth) and womb medicine through movement, prayer, and shamanic practice.

Beginning her career in social services and education, leading to non-profit management, Briana wove the thread of a desire to serve throughout each step along her path. She sees all of her past career as energy work, supporting individuals and groups to find their own power to heal. With degrees in Sociology, a focus on ‘Race, Culture, Power,’ and Sexual Behavior, as well as a Natural Resources, focusing on sustainability, Briana brings humility of leadership and objectivity to board rooms, corporate offices, private sessions with couples, and family mediating alike.

Briana can most often be felt in her ecstatic joy, grinning ear to ear, channeling her maiden that loves to jump in puddles, and her priestess who gathers the energy and sends it whirling to create alchemy in all around. Her happy place is in facilitation, and workshop creation has been a constant for the past 15 years.

She is the co-founder of Sacred Sexuality Rising, a lead trainer for Intuitive Tantra, speaker and facilitator for The Ohio State University on the topic of sacred sexuality, and Executive Director of the Columbus Coalition for Sexuality.
She believes that deep and radical love, coupled with ownership and self-responsibility will shift the trajectory of humans on the planet.
