How we come together matters

Precisely when we need to, it can feel scary to show up for ourselves and truly include others. And our future being crafted right now, depends on it.

Together we will build capacity to hold our own and meet in mutuality, to grow and serve something greater than us all.

Embracing the fullness of our experience, we will reach into ourselves, and out to others, from a place of fullness that begets fullness.

“Through Murmurations I have learned to listen to my true self with more and more clarity.

I have grown in strength, curiosity, owning and expressing parts of me that due to upbringing, culture, past trauma and external norms had been suppressed for too long. 

Murmurations for me has resulted in breaking old constructs that no longer serve! I listen to my body more, I listen to my heart more, I express myself more, becoming less fearful, less afraid of change and of conflict.“

Lorena Toffer
Architect, Educator + Activist

Power. Pleasure. Fulfillment.

“It will uplift every aspect of your life…”

Because as you heal and expand, so does your whole Life.

Together we will explore the intersection of three essential aspects of our conscious evolution- self-transcendence (experiencing expanded states of awareness), embodiment (integrating and living our expansion through our body-heart-mind) and alignment (with Natural Intelligence in word and deed, being and doing, in harmony with Life itself).

We will meet Human to Human, Self to Self, to live the essential questions of our Life, like:

* What stops us from unconditionally loving ourselves? Each other? Life itself?
* How can we transform our past to create a truly new future?

* How can we integrate our need for belonging, authenticity and meaningful expression?
* How can we engage and exchange our energy effectively?

* How can conflict become generative and bring us closer?
* What emerges when we all come together in this way?

A 1-1 conversation is the first step to enroll in the course. We’ll tune into your unique circumstance and explore if this intensive serves you at this time.

“Since I’ve engaged in Murmurations, this group has become a very dear part of my journey of discovery- the discovery of the lived and felt experience of aligning more and more with my essence and moving along with and as Life in its multiple forms.

It is a journey of great beauty and also challenges, as all kind of emotions, un-liberated pains and unconscious beliefs will surface and want to be met. I really feel fortunate to be here and grateful to Ishita for her skillful, wise and loving guidance.“

Günter Cepek, Life Coach

Small group of inspiring peers, 6 transformational months, 12 live group calls, 2 individual sessions, 2 personalized consults, 1 group cacao ceremony, group practices, partnered session exchanges, tailored home practices, an online community, massive amounts of FUN and so much more!

This transformational community is for you if you are wanting:
– embodied presence, regardless of circumstance.
– congruence in being, having and doing.
– to harness the wisdom of your body-heart-mind-spirit!
– to deepen connection and create nourishing relationships.
– to realize personal power in ways that heal and connect.
– to deeply love and understand yourself and the nature of experience.
– to explore how Life actually works, and use it to grow.
– to come out of your closet, express your truth and embody your purpose.
– to connect with the cycles of nature and make sense of your role on Earth. 
– playful and grounded spiritual development in a sandbox of value-aligned peers! 

“A voyage into inner and outer exploration that felt both safe and vulnerable at the same time. In a year full of so much struggle and uncertainty, this little bubble of wonder played a huge role in helping me shift from the quarantine doldrums into a mindset of love, abundance and hope.”

– Andy Pyman, Web Designer + Developer

Intention organizes chaos.

Align being, doing and having.

We will ask you to live your intentions, examine blocks and issues from new perspectives, step out of the familiar and take aligned action. And it all starts with the seed of your deepest longing.

We will set intentions for ourselves individually, reflecting the overall group intention. You will bring live issues you want to work through or a quality you want to cultivate and we will seed it into the group’s field.

We will explore the personal, inter-personal and trans-personal dynamics of our intentions and hindrances that surface in our everyday lives.

“I feel rejuvenated and really filled up and empowered by the stories of (these) new people in my life. For me it was also a demonstration of the power of a great container…I got so much out of it.”

– Noelle Janka, Coach

We will mirror your light and your shadow.

Bring your open heart and curious mind to meet others in a space that unifies and amplifies both.

You will be gently challenged in service of your freedom and growth. We will examine shadow aspects of ourselves and our group as they surface, inviting them into an integrated whole, held by Resource.

“After a few intense years (and indeed a lifetime) of expending my energies in an unsustainable way — through activism, justice work, and intimate relationships — my wells were running dry. I was hungry for commitments and communities that would allow me to practice being in the flow of this world, learning how to find ease and alignment and maybe even joy amidst all the pain and struggle of this global moment.

From my first call with Ishita, Murmurations has helped me do that.

Each call has helped me tap into a deep sense of abundance, resource, and interconnectedness. I leave our sessions feeling simultaneously more connected to my self and to all that surrounds me. Slowly, slowly, I can feel my well filling back up. I hope that many others — especially those also mourning the state of our world — can experience the unique, beautiful, and emergent space that is Murmurations. As my dear friend in Detroit often says, “Community is indeed the antidote to despair.”“

About the facilitator

Supporting Faculty

Module 1

Module 2

“The combination of Ishita’s loving container and the group of people who self select to do this work was wonderful! In the lifelong journey of finding all the unloved parts of yourself and giving them love, this group work was potent.

To see others showing up is inspiring and helped motivate me to show up more for myself…one of the best uses of the screen I normally hate.”

-Dan P., Artist/Roboticist

Intrigued? Here are 3 ways to feel the power of this work–

1. Join a free facilitated community experience

Every aspect of our experience is pointing back to our True Nature. It’s a call back to wholeness, and yet we distance ourselves from parts of it. Cultivating our capacity to integrate our experiences is generative and empowering.

Join Ishita and like-hearted peers for an experiential conversation on receiving and relaxing into the width of our experience, accepting Life’s invitations into embodied presence.

Together we will explore embracing rather than rejecting or fatalizing parts of ourselves, others and Life to release roadblocks to experiencing states of flow and coherence within and without.

ON OUR CALL WE WILL:

• Explore contrast between inner discordance and inner coherence in our own experience.
• Practice an experiential somatic meditation.
• Experience the healing power of inner and group coherence.
• Have space to share, ask questions.
• Learn about deeper upcoming offerings to engage and answer your inner call to coherence in Murmurations + Basics.

In times of accelerated growth, communities of care are balm for the soul. And a community is formed when we come together with authenticity, openness and respect.

This will be such a call.

Come experience this work for yourself and see if it’s right for you! Bring your curiosity, openness and willingness to explore.

There is no fee. All you need to do is register.

Please share this invitation widely with anyone who would enjoy and benefit from attending. All are welcome. No experience necessary!

2. Catch a Community Call recording

FLOW: Inner Coherence Community Call – Catch the recording above

Our global community gathers periodically to examine and digest our big questions, challenges and yearnings that surface often. Join us!

As you listen, follow the exercises and feel what is being pointed to through your whole body. Moved? We’d love to hear how you were touched. To share your learnings and impressions email Ishita.

Feel free to share these recordings with anyone you sense could benefit from it. We want to share this wisdom widely.

3. Learn the energetics of Presence

“There are a lot of ways we can come to feel stuck, out of touch, or disconnected from something essential about life. And there are so many books, methods, and experts that offer us surefire ways out of these dilemmas.

Murmurations is different. In five months it has changed the way I live for the better.

I’m convinced that working with Ishita has more to offer so I plan to continue for another half-year. I am continuing because, in a time of transition and change in my life, my work in this course has improved my relationships with myself and the people in my life.

It has offered me practices to connect with center, a place of wholeness and self-love where vision is clearer and it’s easier to align intentions and action. I’ve gained self-knowledge around connection, vulnerability, boundaries, and balancing emotional safety and risk.

And I have gained a community of kind fellow seekers to offer support, fun, and loving accountability in my growth.

I recommend working with Ishita to anyone curious about new ways to grow as a person and connect with life and the people we share it with.”

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE AND TIMING OF THE COURSE? A: Murmurations consists of an intimate group of committed, inspiring peers who meet bi-weekly for 6 months. We gather every other week for 12 x 2 hr facilitated live group calls, punctuated by additional calls led by guest faculty, peer sessions and/or ceremonies and consults online. You each receive individual sessions with Ishita to support integration and depending on the module, an herbalist session, group intention ceremony, group cacao ceremony, group ancestral healing ceremony, group workshop on desire and sexuality, and transformational game and movie nights. You will also explore other small group practices, readings, videos, weekly partnered presence session exchanges, tailored home practices, an online community, massive amounts of FUN and so much more! Q: HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME A: We’ll know better once we connect. But you’re likely a good fit if you (and I mean this), be the change you wish to see, you’re feeling something is missing from your life, and you’re wanting: – to live anchored in your center regardless of circumstances. – to align with your Truth and expand your Purpose (self-honesty, self-love, and aligned self-expression). – more real and connecting relationships. – to deeply love and understand yourself and the nature of your experience. – to connect with the cycles of nature and make sense of your role on Earth.  – playful and grounded spiritual development in a sandbox of value-aligned peers! (I take fun seriously!) and you’re ready to: – honor your inner harmonic and rhythm – get curious and meet your light and your shadows! – be challenged in service of your growth. – take responsibility for your own maturation and development. – examine and heal the narratives that keep you bound in shame.  – learn with and from Ishita and others in your group. – commit and align attention, energy and resources towards your growth and create the life you desire. Q: WHO ELSE IS COMING? A: A truly impressive group is forming, full of folks who are curious about life and themselves, committed to creating a fulfilling life, who want to clarify their voice, create more depth in relationships and to be of greater service in ways that nourish and align. They come from different walks of life- teachers, healers, coaches, therapists, parents, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs. Many times we have pairs- mother and son, husband and wife come together to deepen their own relationships. Always, the common denominator is humility, sincerity, and a desire to be of greater service to the whole. Q: WILL YOU OFFER THE COURSE AGAIN LATER? I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME, MONEY, ATTENTION, XYZ…RIGHT NOW. A: Currently, I plan to open a new cohort of Murmurations on a yearly rhythm, but I listen to the energy alive more rather than imposing a structure on launches. And, I will say that the hindrances that keep you from investing in and exploring yourself right now, echo those stopping you from realizing your intentions. Agreed this is a significant commitment of resources, and I find that 90% of time/money/commitment hesitations are related to fear based inner-resistance or lack of value-recognition. Only rarely is it truly not in reach. Learning to thrive in and despite the uncertainty around us, finding and establishing safety inside ourselves, rather than crutches we’ve been conditioned to, is what this intensive is all about. More often, once we dig in, people find they’re scared of the change they know will occur if they embark on this inner journey. They’ll really have to grow up and show up- they won’t be able to stay in familiar confines, or hide within narratives of self-oppression. Yep. That happens. Behind the fear is your want for the very growth you’re afraid of. Honoring and meeting that fear takes courage, and is necessary for the fulfillment you seek. Q: ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE? A: YES! There is a scholarship fund that you can contribute to or receive from. For more information on qualifying and securing a scholarship application please get in touch.  Q: GROUPS ARE SCARY. I’D RATHER WORK WITH YOU 1:1. A: I was nervous too- until I experienced the power of a true community to reveal and heal the scared parts of me!  I saw how my mind told me stories that kept me feeling separate from others. Now I see myself in everyone I meet and there’s a lot more freedom, love and joy in my relationships! That’s the healing I wish for each of us and the special sauce groups like the ones I lead bring.  Also- I think conscious community that recognizes our interconnectedness is the medicine we need to survive as a species. It’s why Murmurations is about coming together as one being while fully owning our individuality. Sometimes, we are better suited for one over the other, but both group + individual work address different aspects of our growth. That’s why you’ll have 1:1s and individual, paired and group practices in Murmurations. Q: DO YOU MEAN PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL INTENTIONS? A: Doesn’t matter- whatever you heal in one aspect will seep into every other aspect of your life. Story- I ran a 6 week version of this intensive a while ago. In that short time folks not only realized their intentions but also healed other aspects of their life, because inner alignment makes all else fall into place. For instance, there were 2 people whose intentions were “I always choose love” and “My pleasure is my alignment.” As they began living their intentions with loving reflections from the group, they saw more inner kindness develop and their smoking habits drop away even though it wasn’t their explicit intention to do so- and they’re still not smoking 6 months later. That’s just one example of the power of this work- obviously you don’t have to smoke- you get the idea! Imagine what can happen in 6 months! Or just see what participants are sharing of their experience of the journey :) Q: CAN I JOIN IF I’M UNCLEAR ON MY INTENTION? A: Yes! This is where we will begin together. We’ll help you recognize and nurture your truest longing, which will make all others fall into place. It can and will evolve as we go. Here are some powerful intentions people have brought in and realized in past groups to inspire you: I always choose love. I trust myself. I am anchored in presence no matter what. I stay with myself with love. We start soon!  If you’re curious, reach out. It may be just the kickstart you’ve been waiting for.

“I have gained so much more, in addition to seeing myself with new eyes.

This promise of exploring new heights and depths has been very true for me and I am deeply grateful for Ishita’s keen insight and spiritual grounding which transcends traditional expectations.

Ishita gave me new tools for noticing, choosing and enforcing Boundaries (mine and others). We had the opportunity to practice testing and clarifying Boundaries and their outcomes. This resulted in real time solutions for me and those I love.

I unequivocally recommend exploring Life, Your Life, and the Universe, with Ishita. My Universe – heart, soul, knowing – have expanded beyond my traditions and book smarts. With each day, I see that there is much more to know.

I will be continuing my journey in Murmurations.”

– Kaye, MURMURATIONS cohort 1

“Murmurations is an energetic movement that is far away from anything I knew before. It’s a safe place, a safe environment, a safe community, also things I didn’t know/feel this way before. Maybe I thought I did, but I didn’t.

And this is the base, my base now, to feel supported, to really explore the deepest in me. Ishita creates a space for everyone to grow, to feel connected and accepted just as you are.

My body more and more feels whole, and I start understanding from the inside. And there is no bigger gift than learning from the inside, to really feel changes from the inside. I am very grateful to be part of Murmurations.”

Isabel Amigo – Murmurations 3
