   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 (http://www.calendly.com/ishita/homecoming), 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?

The Feminine Mystical Path to Embodiment part 2 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v0ZUsM3Scbx4q8U7H5Nkp7rWdqu98dup/view?usp=drive_link) (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v0ZUsM3Scbx4q8U7H5Nkp7rWdqu98dup/view?usp=drive_link)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 (http://www.calendly.com/ishita/homecoming) HOMECOMING (details below).

   H O M E C O M I N Gfor awakening women crossing bold new thresholdsA 12 month adventure in mystery, sisterhood, Grace and embodimentJuly 29 2026 - July 18 2027 15 days from now, a group of intrepid, inspired and inspiring women will begin walking each other home- into sovereignty, belonging, mystery and Grace- in HOMECOMING (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/entry-into-the-feminine-is-by-invitation).You’re invited to join us. (http://www.calendly.com/ishita/homecoming)If it calls to you,go set up a time for us to talk and come (http://www.calendly.com/ishita/homecoming) 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 (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/entry-into-the-feminine-is-by-invitation)HOMECOMING- (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/entry-into-the-feminine-is-by-invitation)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“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 H O M E C O M I N G Devotion + Emotion.

   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 (http://cometocenter.com)come to center. (http://cometocenter.com) (http://cometocenter.com) Here are three things I’m leading that will help you come back to yourself- * HOMECOMING (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/announcing-homecoming-come-together)- Monthly gatherings to ignite and realize your intentions. Starts March 22. Make a time to talk. (http://calendly.com/ishita/30) * Feb 17- NEW MOON: (https://opencirclecenter.org/event/ishita-sharma-feb-17-2026/)Rest, Renewal, Welcoming what Is (w/ Open Circle) * Mar 6- On (http://www.cometocenter.com/events)RELATIONSCAPES (http://www.cometocenter.com/events): (http://www.cometocenter.com/events)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 (https://opencirclecenter.org/event/ishita-sharma-feb-17-2026/) - 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 (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/announcing-homecoming-come-together)— coming soooon! But on Tuesday I’ll tell you more, and you can come chat with me about it now (http://calendly.com/ishita/30).

Join us to empty and renew ourselves in a field of Love, fire and precision near the Mahashivratri (https://isha.sadhguru.org/mahashivratri/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=182108632&gbraid=0AAAAADgeq_UUvj7IKlDPcsLFeqkb_I_dK&gclid=CjwKCAiAtLvMBhB_EiwA1u6_PuAjCVlWdQ5YnfXm8vYXO8riMrQHnltib4sD7cqRdKdzYPHs0G_yzhoCsr4QAvD_BwE) new moon.

   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 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cmGxZZpoXCzEvtg9HINukXLMQmQ_AU6Z/view?usp=sharing) 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. (https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/Lu24t-9SJTqKEy9bsWImYw0vS1gZIKxNotAZPyMFn4SgqOt-TlAs83PChZRjaa1pWg4Yp-_UUc7sejQl.LMVtL7rueqbjZCOD?eagerLoadZvaPages=sidemenu.billing.plan_management&accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=my_recording&continueMode=true&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2Fs7wmZ5mQufFFVM_W5LE4nONKpWStN0zrPuHAzn1jLzWd83WwV8PbdMyz3XuakBik.aw-JKpYd5xU5SkDX) 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 (https://cometocenter.substack.com/p/ep-07-compassion-in-action-loving) - 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 March 22! 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…If you register before I get the website up, you can take $200 off tuition- just make a time to talk! 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! (https://calendly.com/ishita/30) (https://calendly.com/ishita/30)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- (https://opencirclecenter.org/event/ishita-sharma-feb-17-2026/) 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) (https://opencirclecenter.org/venue/online-audio-video-web-event-phone-access-is-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 (http://godeep.yoga), 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 (https://dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-peace/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPjpxBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXaWdlQlFTN1pJdE9qS3JLc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrkVz4Nspsb8ZnFreZb2wNkKsNRiZIlUf1Meojaj8HDubHekOqFPFk-bMFMc_aem_eR4vDAEF4nIxxdkJUeJjyg). 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 (https://dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-peace/live-map/) 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 (https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/Lu24t-9SJTqKEy9bsWImYw0vS1gZIKxNotAZPyMFn4SgqOt-TlAs83PChZRjaa1pWg4Yp-_UUc7sejQl.LMVtL7rueqbjZCOD?eagerLoadZvaPages=sidemenu.billing.plan_management&accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=my_recording&continueMode=true&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2Fs7wmZ5mQufFFVM_W5LE4nONKpWStN0zrPuHAzn1jLzWd83WwV8PbdMyz3XuakBik.aw-JKpYd5xU5SkDX)- and start anchoring what matters to you.

    How we heal in a fragmented world- Ep 06 w/ Kosha Joubert

    Dear Ones, How many times do we freeze, contract, react in relating with the news headlines, with each other or even within ourselves? How can we stay related and resourced as we meet our edges? What is the healing movement? Where can we begin? Kosha Joubert (https://pocketproject.org/about-the-pocket-project-2/#team), my guest on today’s podcast has been walking these questions. Her story really models receptivity to Grace as a function of aligning with one’s inner purpose- following the true call of your soul. As the CEO of the Pocket Project (https://pocketproject.org/), she is devoted to creating pockets of coherence around the world where we can come together to digest the intensity that is not able to be digested alone. In that vein, I hope you’ll join us in this experiential conversation and write to us to tell us what touches you. If it resonates, consider joining Kosha in the next Global Social Witnessing training starting Sept 3. with hope and care,Ishita EPISODE DESCRIPTIONHow can we heal in a fragmented world? Where can we start today? What is trauma? How does it shape us personally, ancestrally, collectively? Join Kosha Joubert (https://pocketproject.org/about-the-pocket-project-2/#team) and Ishita Sharma (http://cometocenter.com/ishita) to explore how personal and collective trauma affect us and how we can engage healing amidst fragmentation.

The encapsulated energy that is left over at any time when the energy streaming through the nervous system is too intense for the nervous system to allow the stream to continue. * Realistic healing movement, community building * Focus of Western therapy on the individual is no longer appropriate for this time. * Global Social Witnessing * Meeting my own edge and capacity- where do I get activated? * Where I can stay present to the world. Inner and the outer healing. * Applying polyvagal theory to ourselves * Slowing down- transforming suffering into gold * Coherent fields * Authentic agency rooted in presence * No individual nervous system * “If I am not embodied, I cannot be related.” * How can we engage in real time solutions for ourselves and each other?

    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 :) (http://www.cometocenter.com/individuals) (http://www.cometocenter.com/individuals)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 (http://www.cometocenter.com/basics), and through direct transmissions from the wisdom-field of VEDIC HEALING (http://www.cometocenter.com/vedic-healing). ENERGETIC BASICS (https://www.ishitasharma.org/basics) July 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 + INITIATION Understand 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.

    How to Have Better Relationships w/ Steven Kessler

    Relationships are a major determinant of happiness, but we’re rarely taught how to navigate them successfully. We’ve all had friction in intimacy…but how often does it bring us closer? In this conversation, author of The 5 Personality Patterns, Steven Kessler (http://the5personalitypatterns.com) and Ishita Sharma (http://cometocenter.com/ishita) discuss how to create fulfilling, co-empowering relationships. They dive deep into the stuff that actually changes relationships for the better- an uncommon, yet foundational understanding of relational dynamics- at the level of attention, energy and the language of the body. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT: * Relational spirituality- relationships are a crucible for transformation. * Changing each other vs changing ourselves * Love, respect and mutuality * I’ll bridge to you and take responsibility * What’s the nature of Reality? How do people work? * Getting in touch with emotions * Understanding our own relational style and that of others * Energy, attention, habits and expectations * How we use them to make better relationships * Attachment styles- and adult expectations * Stages of development in relationships * How different people try to keep themselves safe * How we can help other people feel safe, and seen STEVEN’S BOOKS: * The 5 Personality Patterns (http://www.the5personalitypatterns.com) * How to Have Better Relationships (https://www.amazon.com/How-Have-Better-Relationships-Personality/dp/1961678047) JOIN ISHITA + STEVEN IN THE NEW BODY CLASS on RELATIONSHIPSDo you feel stuck or small in relationships?

Wednesdays 11am-1pm pst, JUNE 4-JULY 23Live on Zoom and recorded. This teaching supports the direct experience of open-hearted awareness, an approach that can open up a whole new world for you. Together we will practice a new, effective path to create harmonious, co-empowering relationships by learning the language of your body. You will learn to communicate effectively, bridge the gap between you and your loved ones, get your needs met while honoring others, and increase your joy, intimacy and fulfillment. You may find, as others have, that long standing patterns and destructive habits heal in our time together. You will leave with greater confidence, vibrance, and connection to yourself, Life and others around you."

    Ep 03: How Angels are Made- w/ Raina DeLear

    How would you be if you knew the Universe had your back? What is bigger than fear? In this episode Ishita (http://www.cometocenter.com/about) and Raina (mailto:theraina@theraina.world) explore how trust transforms crisis and ourselves, how our mammalian wiring meets the age of AI, and what lies beyond the causes and conditions of human suffering… Having gone from being homeless at age 15, on to modeling in NYC, to becoming VP of trading, Raina now serves as a healer and teacher, guiding others into the alchemical process of loving and liberation she herself has walked. Both reckon with what the Great Ones have known- that Grace is a function of transmuting our deepest pain, while calling its bluff! WHAT YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT: Angels, by Miriam Darlington (full text below) Can humanoids mitigate our loneliness? How many generations will it take to lose our human mammalian connection? “Care for each other- I’m ok, are you ok? I got you.” What is the human price of our inventions? What is our response ability? Awakening- Crying to get attention and seeing beyond. Seeing of the experience. It's not bound by the experience. Exploration of suffering and freedom from suffering, I am kicked out of the house…and I hear: “It's a benevolent Universe.” And I don’t know what benevolent means. Confirmation of Life’s goodness. From milk crate delivery to becoming VP of trading. The crack- Black hole in my heart. All boxes checked, and I feel empty. I know but don’t want to know- how do I move? Coming to truth. Meeting the Mother wound. Surrender is the only choice. Calling in Love. What’s bigger than fear? Including parts of myself with the Universe at my back. A practice for you to live into! Blessings for All.
