    Homecoming without a home?

    H O M E C O M I N GFor awakening women coming home, coming alive again!A 12 month adventure in mystery, sisterhood, Grace and embodimentEnrollment open now, until the Equinox “I bow to the unshakeable ground of being that is my Nature.I bow to my Home that receives me completely.I bow to That which knows directly, fully and immediately.”-from 1008 bows to the Divine, by Ishita Beloved, Do you feel like you are home in yourself? Have you felt that quiet longing to belong, to come home?How do you define home? What meets that longing? A who? A what? A where? For you and I, and all beings everywhere, I am most interested in true homecoming- full liberation…Unity, Love, sovereignty, wholeness, and the joy of being ecstatically creative and alive, fully alive- living a full body YES to Life- no matter what we are/not doing, who we’re with, and where we find ourselves.I have wondered all my Life- What could happen if we all lived from that place of joy and fullness?Why don’t more of us live that way? That joyous fullness is what I am inviting you into in the yearlong adventure which is HOMECOMING- in sovereignty, in sisterhood, in True embodiment.If you have missed the rich series of sharings pouring through me on the Feminine Mystical Path Home- go catch them while they are still free and available. These three short calls have been transformational for many already, and we are just getting started! 1. Who is a Sovereign Woman? Watch till the last 20 minutes to feel what is possible, and inevitable when we walk together for a year- not just 90 minutes- it’s palpable.2. Feminine Mystical Path to Embodiment part 1 Feel the field of Love that is always here, imagine how you’d move, what you’d create if you knew you were so loved, so held and could trust yourself and Life this way...3. The Feminine Mystical Path to Embodiment part 2 Feel what’s possible when we show up raw and real, owning and transcending the projections that keep us small, stuck and suffering- from the inside- with joy!I’m watching the unfolding with amazement and excitement myself- it’s marvellous to see how people are changed and touched by this work, myself included. It’s so very fulfilling :)If they resonate, apply to join us in HOMECOMING (details below).

    Awakening women, crossing bold new thresholds

    H O M E C O M I N Gfor awakening women crossing bold new thresholdsA 12 month adventure in mystery, sisterhood, Grace and embodimentEnrollment closes Sept 21 “I bow to That which knows no lack.I bow to That which has no opposites.I bow to That which knows only Itself.”-from 1008 bows to the Divine, by Ishita Beloved,On the full moon on July 29th, a group of intrepid, inspired and inspiring women will begin walking each other home- into sovereignty, belonging, mystery and Grace- in HOMECOMING.AND YOU’RE INVITED!To see if we are the right medicine for you and you are that for us, you can1. Watch the Feminine Mystical of Embodiment2. Watch the Who is a Sovereign Woman?and if it resonates: 3. Go set up a time for us to talk and come to re-ignite your inner fire and light the world up with it!If you, like so many have everything, but feel dead inside, or like your lights just aren’t on- go watch my invitation above and come to meet us to rekindle your aliveness. We will stoke our inner sparks, stand in the heart of our sacred Humanity, the depths of sacred womanhood, walking the feminine mystical path to embodiment as Great Ones before us have-We will live into the full blooded YES to Life- in its fullness! Wild women, doers and dreamers, householder mystics, devotees, disciples, powerhouses, leaders, creatives, poets and scientists- beyond our roles and imaginings.Why? Because your heart longs to re-member what you know and live it into how you meet Life.Today in a session a Client said to me: “I have that I can do anything feeling- and the world doesn’t take long to respond. It’s just been waiting. I see now I see it’s true- that Marianne Williamson quote- that our greatest fear isn’t that we are powerless, it’s that we are powerful beyond measure! I made a decision to not be moved by fear. Before, I could only do things for others, I couldn’t be here for them, but thats what they really need…”Isn’t that the truth? What would become possible if YOU stood in your center? If YOU showed up as Who you know you are?If you knew in your bones that Life has your back…That you have your own back? That inner shift from fear and unconsciousness into sovereignty, Self-ownership and aliveness, is the invitation of HOMECOMING-Homecoming is a place for awakening women to cross the thresholds they are at, together. Because together we go farther, and have more fun on the way. Every day I meet people in alchemical space, in their depths and mine. Without effort or sloth, push or pull, there is expansion-more love, more joy, more peace, more confidence, more connectedness, inside and out. No drama- just quietly, simply, efficiently. No fixing, changing, bettering, just being real with ourselves, and letting Love have its way with us. Will you let Love have its way with YOU beloved? To fulfill that longing beneath all longings…If you take one step towards yourself, the universe takes 10 towards you.So come, let’s meet in a space that unifies- spiritual and material, inner and outer, masculine and feminine, sovereignty and belonging. Because you are Everything. May you settle for no less. with a fire in my heart,Ishita WATCH THE RECORDING + GLIMPSE INTO HOW WE WALK “I have so many tears. It’s like coming to an oasis after crawling across the desert of the patriarchy after so f*****g long. I’m feeling this hunger and satiation and starvation all at the same time and how familiar this sense is in my bones, of sitting in circle with women and resting in wholeness...”“When I listen to your words, I have a full recognition that this moment of life is right here”“What a blessing this has been. how deeply it’s touched me. I didn’t know how full this could be, and I’ve wondered how I felt so hollowed out and dead after 11 years in the non-dual masculine charge. I’ve been so emptied out.. but love this reminder about life and beauty and f*****g. I just feel this field has been what’s missing for me.” H O M E C O M I N G Devotion + Emotion. Body + Earth.

    What seduces you? Towards or away from yourself..

    Dear Ones,What’s one thing seducing you away from yourself these days? What’s another seducing you towards yourself?I’ve been longing for long sits in nature calling me to my essence, and watching how I resist and override that longing with phone calls and task-lists. So many of us live in a push/pull with Life- resisting or giving into “temptation,” be it thought, emotion, sex, food, connection…the thing about our senses, is they’re always pointing outwards- where attention gets caught in the seductive world of phenomena, most of which take us away from ourselves, unless we know how to use them to come to center. Here are three things I’m leading that will help you come back to yourself- * HOMECOMING- Monthly gatherings to ignite and realize your intentions. Starts March 22. Make a time to talk. * Feb 17- NEW MOON: Rest, Renewal, Welcoming what Is (w/ Open Circle) * Mar 6- On RELATIONSCAPES: Why we aren’t showing up, and how we can (w/ USABP). Freeing up the inner hard drive, softening the heart and opening to what’s possible needs intentional pause, renewal and emptying out, by turning in… That’s what we’ll play with in all three offerings, starting with the Feb Community Call on the New Moon - turning our attention to the dance of Life within, and using it to get where we want to go. It’s a special weekend- a new moon, eclipse, the end of the year of the wood snake and the beginning of the year of the fire horse- all of it pointing to the energetics at play in and around us. Together we will drop into a coherent field and experience its power, renewing the intentions we set, I still haven’t made a website for HOMECOMING— coming soooon! But on Tuesday I’ll tell you more, and you can come chat with me about it now. Stay curious, stay loving,Ishita New Moon: Emptiness & The Inward Turn Rest, Renewal, Welcoming what Is Tuesday, February 17, 2026 6:00pm - 7:30pm (Pacific Time) As the moon renews herself, so do we.If we attend to it, each month the new moon marks a natural quieting in the body, making it a fantastic time to turn away from distraction and re-focus on inner well-being. Join us to empty and renew ourselves in a field of Love, fire and precision near the Mahashivratri new moon. We will meet the newness arising within and around us, and reap the magnificence of its call with fresh eyes and big heart. Join Ishita to come to center — grounded in your body, fueled by Grace.

    One month in, where are you standing?

    Happy Full Moon Dear One, How are you? What is churning, what are you wanting- in work, in relationships, in your heart? And what gets in the way? As 2025 closed, we tied loose ends on our Completion Call as a community and then in Jan. A month ago on the Full moon, we set intentions on the Intention Setting Call as a community. That call was real- more than just wishful thinking, we actually got into the juice, that raw place we have to touch to make the magic happen. I’ve been seeing our call bring fruit for many of you already (!) and in my own Life. It’s affirming and encouraging to know we’re on the right track! Because the Law of harmonic resonance says when we touch what’s real, Life responds— to alignment, to coherence, congruence in our thought, action and emotion. A month into 2026 what are you noticing? How’re you tending to what really matters? Who/what resources and support will help you realize your longings? As Ti said on our podcast- Compassion in Action, Devotion in Motion - what matters won’t just happen on its own- we have to tend to it, center it- nurture it. Give it the guidance and the nutrients it needs…I’m up for the job, if you’re in for the ride! Alongside a group of intrepid doers and dreamers who are already gathering! It’s my special sauce- helping people live into their purpose is the core of my own. That’s what H O M E C O M I N G is about! We start this May! On the Equinox, we will begin walking together in HOMECOMING. It’s a series of monthly gatherings, and rhythmic mini retreats to materialize what really matters to each and all of us, together. Because care, consistency and commitment in community are catalytic. Magic happens this way… I would be overjoyed and honored to help you (yes, YOU!) bring whatever longs to come through you, out and alive into the world. Where it can enliven you and serve us all.You bring the seeds you want to harvest- work, relationships, love, purpose- all of it. And I’ll bring all my cultivation across disciplines and dimensions- embodiment, non-duality, somatic therapy, energetic mastery, art, music, and beauty- that hallmark of presence. To learn more, let’s talk! In the meantime, Happy Full Moon.with great joy and a smile!Ishita GET A TASTE OF THIS WORK AND WHAT’S POSSIBLE WHEN WE COME TOGETHER- Ishita Sharma ~ New Moon: Emptiness & The Inward Turn – Rest, Renewal, Welcoming what Is Tuesday, February 17, 2026 | 6-7:30pm PST Online Video Meeting (phone access also available) As the moon renews herself, so do we.

    🎙️Ep 07: Compassion in action, devotion in motion - Loving Kindness Yoga w/ Ti Harmony

    What does my Life center around? How much do I really trust Life, myself, others? How can Yoga evolve and honor its roots? What makes community cohere? Meeting Ti Harmony, my Yoga teacher, raised these questions and more— because he lives his own beautiful answers to them. I call him Hanuman for his devotion in action- and you’ll hear my joy and adoration for reasons that’ll soon become obvious. The first time I walked into Ti’s class I cried tears of homecoming (and still do), rather than those of anguish as I often have over the years. In his humble wooden studio I’ve found Yoga that honors its roots and contemporary context. The mix of relevance, reverence, humor, humility, and some really good company has helped me polish my practice. So, I sat down with a cup of tea with him, and we shared our journeys, exploring what it means to serve freely, to give deeply, and do the thing that you can’t not do! I asked him about everything I admire about how I see him live his Life— going for it and letting Life hold you, cutting away the noise, and really following what matters, how the heart of devotion can anchor a community of practice- simply, consistently, while holding it all lightly... Tune in to explore with us where Love, humor, focus, discipline, devotion, service and humility meet. Beloved, this episode feels timely for many reasons... Outside my town, there is snow, ice and ICE. Still, 19 buddhist monks are walking across the land. As peace, for peace. Like Ti did as a peace pilgrim 40 odd years ago. The crowds coming out to meet and cry with the monks show us we all have the power to make waves- quietly, steadily, lovingly and peacefully. We are all being called to be stewards of peace, warriors of Love. But we need tools and safe spaces to grow into it, together…so we can become the refuge we need and share it with others.That’s why, I’m dreaming up HOMECOMING - a sangha of monthly gatherings designed to incubate, inspire and realize your deepest, wildest intentions together- rhythmically- weekly, monthly, seasonally and more. A walk home together- into the love, freedom, peace and vibrance we want to see, spread and be. Into sensuous, full-bodied, pulsing joy- putting our feet where our hearts are…!While I finalize HOMECOMING details, go catch up on the 2026 intention setting call- and start anchoring what matters to you. We’ll build on it together if you say yes…take a look below- and email me to LMK what you want more of, what would make it irresistibly powerful and fun! HOMECOMING STRUCTURE/COMPONENTS: * CONTINUOUS YEAR LONG ENERGETIC MATRIX OF SUPPORTYou will be held day and night in a matrix of Resource designed to support your particular intentions, at your growth edge in your own right way, whether we are meeting together or not. * MONTHLY CALLS NEAR THE FULL MOON:12 x Monthly 2hr live, private, facilitated gatherings in Resourced ceremonial space, slow enough to be healing. * Live teaching, group coaching, paired and shared practices. Recordings shared and archived. * 1x MONTHLY OPEN MEDITATION + Q&A NIGHTExplore the nature of your experience and what meditation is designed for. Sharing her personal practice, Ishita will help you demystify the mechanics and embody the purpose of meditation, using your attention to go in and beyond mindfulness. * PRIVATE SESSIONS with Ishita to align and clarify your intentions. * 4 x SEASONAL RETREATS FROM HOME1. MARCH: Vernal Equinox Retreat 2. JUNE: Summer Solstice Retreat3. SEPTEMBER: Autumnal Equinox Retreat4. DECEMBER: Winter Solstice Retreat and fire ceremony * Rhythms and rituals. Ceremonies, meditations, readings, movies and journal prompts to catalyze the field. * Group intention tending between moons. * Option for in person gathering, additional astrological, Human Design, constellations, Transformational Kinesiology consults and more. * FUN! REAL TRANSFORMATION and did I mention really good company? Dear One, I want to pour my voice, my heart, my hands, all my cultivation to realize my heart’s longings, to serve what matters most. Don’t you? Of course you do. If not now, when? If not us, who? So, if you listen to Ti and my conversation, consider your own heart’s answers to what you live to serve, are devoted to, can’t help but share, and want to live into. And share it with us. We’d love to hear from you and serve it in both our own ways. Both feet in. Opening to the river of Grace that wants to take us with it. with a deep bow to you, to the beauty and the horror of this time and to all our teachers over all times,Ishita IF YOU TUNE IN YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT: * A life built entirely around practice — 00:28:45–00:29:05​ * Cultural appropriation isn’t a problem, mind the who and the how — 00:03:01–00:04:44​ * From drugs to devotion: seeking the “high” without substances — 00:09:33–00:10:08​ * The first meditation: “pure hell” and the worst 20 minutes — 00:11:05–00:12:21​ * Discovering yoga as “organized stretching” that healed chronic pain — 00:16:24–00:17:03​ * “Don’t teach, share your energy.” — 00:52:55–00:53:21​ * The yoga class structure: depth, humor, long arc, mastery, space — 00:19:23–00:23:26​ * “There’s no graduation in practice.” — 00:22:10–00:22:18​ * A rebellious teenage son of the Divine Mother — 01:05:27–01:05:38​ * “Money is not my job.

In his “spare” time Ti homeschools, plays disc golf and takes walks in the woods with his dogs while repeating his mantra with his footsteps. * ISHITA SHARMAIshita Sharma helps leaders, visionaries and everyday heroes get where they want to be, while enjoying who and where they already are!
