Our Vision

The concept


This year, we give ourselves full permission to explore passion and pleasure. 
How to move toward it with subtleness - like a cat sensing the tiniest energetic vibrations, moving toward the softness of sensuality. 
The permission to feel the fire of desire, with deep listening.


What am I sensing? How can I move in synergy, beauty, and radiance within passion -
keeping the tension, the vibration, resting in it, rising with it, like a shining dolphin surfing the waves, jumping toward the sun and diving to play again.


How does it feel when the sea touches your skin? When the sand runs through your fingers, and the sun kisses your face?


Allowing your soul, spirit, and body the permission to indulge,as a doorway into devotion, love, and a vibrant connection with life.
Allowing desire to lead us, because pleasure is intelligent, alive, and a direct movement toward union.

Come To Be Yourself Fully​​

The ISTA Festival is a ride inside.  A journey towards self-love, the expansion of the heart, expression of your voice, and a real connection between emotion, body, and consciousness. Our days together are more than an exciting festival. It is an opportunity to discover and experience how a culture living in freedom, love, respect, and celebration of life force feels like. It is an opportunity to meet like minded people from all over the world and the ISTA community.

 

It is an opportunity to BELONG.

 

Bring your curiosity, fears, desires, authentic and vulnerable heart, courage, doubts and questions, hopes, and dreams.

 

All your parts are welcome here.
