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,IshitaNew Moon: Emptiness & The Inward Turn Rest, Renewal, Welcoming what IsTuesday, 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.

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!IshitaGET 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 IsTuesday, February 17, 2026 | 6-7:30pm PSTOnline Video Meeting (phone access also available)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.

🎙️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.

Awakening your Inner Guru
Beloved,I made you a video of the mechanics of devotion because today is Guru Purnima. This Full Moon we honor those who point us back to Ourselves- awakening us from the illusion of entanglement, lack and separation. Whether or not you feel allegiance to a human you call your Guru, I bet you can recognize the touch of Grace in your own Life. If you can’t, and want to- come find me. It’s my dào, my special sauce :) Who or What points your way to the Light, steers you closer to yourself, Beloved? Let’s bow to that today.I have always said Life is my Guru- All of It. The more I walk, it becomes irresistible to bow down, to weep with wonder and prostrate at the feet of something greater, far greater than I. That something is disguised as the fullness of experience- teachers everywhere. Beyond theism and atheism, there is a vastness of Grace. A field of Blessings. I have been ushered over chasms and thresholds so many times, I can’t deny the miracle of this being alive.Can you? When have you or I accomplished anything significant without Divine Assistance? What else was guiding you that one day you met that one person who became your dearest…that one phone call, that one whisper from your inner being, the thousand most improbable of encounters, all the signals from Life calling you to itself- saying, here, here…come…I’ll show you the way…That’s the Guru at work. Through your body-world. As It.To activate the field of Grace we need two things- desire and humility. To harness it fully, we need precise assistance, which is rare to find. That’s why on this auspicious day, I’m opening the door to a Teacher and a Teaching that has opened great doors for me on my path. I am inviting you to become your own Master, by embodying presence, wherever you are- by rewiring how you use your attention at the nervous system level via ENERGETIC BASICS, and through direct transmissions from the wisdom-field of VEDIC HEALING.ENERGETIC BASICSJuly 26+27 2025Lead with your nervous system to make everything else easier. Reduce friction in all situations–inside and out. Learn 5 core skills you will use every single day, for the rest of your Life. Precise, potent and transformative!ASTROLOGY + INITIATIONUnderstand how personal and cosmic intelligence conjoin as and for YOU. As a Jyotish astrologer and healer, Jai Krishna ji holds an unbroken bloodline lineage of Vedic Astrology and ancient healing arts. We will both support you in your path and purpose, in all the ways we can. You can learn more about this unique and powerful opportunity here: Beloved, if we have sat together, you have likely heard me pray. I do it every single day. Calling in my Gurus, my Guides, All the Energy That Serves The Light. Most days that alone feels enough for gratitude to well up.I hope you pray- knowing it not as naiveté, but the most advanced technology in existence. Invoking your own depths, summoning the greatest heights.My devotion is my invitation to you- three ways to join in the alchemical process of self-transformation this month. 1. Embodiment Lab - July 20, August 242. Energetic Basics- July 26+273. Vedic Healing- By requestToday, I renew my commitment to my own practice, and invite you into yours.Today, I invoke Grace to help me cross over from this shore (where I am) to the next (where Life is calling me).Today I invoke Grace to lead me into Divine Abundance and my own fruition.Today I ask for help embodying the Light, here in the middle of the chaos even as I help others do the same. in gratitude for what’s already here, and what’s coming,Ishita Get full access to come to center at cometocenter.substack.com/subscribe
