ISHTARA Body Alchemy offerings
Learn how to transform any emotional energy
so that you can lead the life you desire.
Ishtara Body Alchemy is a trauma-informed method for transforming emotional and relational patterns through movement. In this 6-week course you’ll learn how patterns are created in your nervous systems that may limit or enhance your capacity for joy, health & wellbeing, success, and fulfillment. You’ll gain a profound appreciation for your body, greater understanding of how to work with your unique nervous system patterns, how to listen deeply to your body for guidance, and how to alchemize emotional energies into their highest gifts. Each class is limited to 6 people and is a customized learning journey unique to you. Classes are currently divided by gender (women-identifying and men-identifying). To learn why, you can read more here.
This class includes:
A personalized 6-week journey into a powerful embodiment practice customized to you.
Principles and practices developed over a decade to transform your emotions and rewire patterns that no longer serve you.
Opportunities for deep healing in a safe, trauma-informed small group container. (Classes limited to 6 people.)
2 hours of live instruction per week.
100 page guidebook
Transformative practices you can do at home in just 15 minutes with curated music.
Classes: 6 sessions
NEW PRICING MODEL: A STRETCH SCALE
$400-$800
To meet these precarious times, to make this work accessible, and to reflect my own commitment to embodiment, I’m offering a new sliding scale.
Please read before you register:
What I have learned time and time again is that when people do not invest in this work they get a lot less out of it. When they do stretch and invest, their body takes the cue and they go deeper. The return on investment is higher for them.
It’s not about how you value my time; it’s about how you value YOURS. Invest with a stretch – and your body will respond because stretch is a language the body understands. Your body will take you deeper, your experience will be more expansive, and your ‘return on investment’ will be richer. This is an invitation to thoughtfully invest in yourself – the most valuable asset we have.
If $400 is truly not accessible to you at this time please reach out and we can get creative. Is $800 not a stretch for you? Consider donating to our tax-deductible scholarship fund!
