OWN YOUR SHADOWS, OPEN YOUR WINGS AND FLY!
“You wish for a flame? Search in the ashes.” (~ Kabbalah)
This 8-day process is an intimate journey of deep transformation that goes through the shadows, and into the magical being that you are called to be but do not yet dare.
The Caterpillar has to let go of its form and functions, lose itself completely, and become goo inside the chrysalis. There, it loses its identity and self-image. Only then do the dormant Imaginal Cells start to multiply and form the magical creature that will hatch with mesmerizing wings. The wings of the butterfly that is in you are the wings of your soul. But to grow them, one needs to first face deep shadows that were held in the dark and let go.
There - in the pit of dark emotions and shame - is where the sacred sparks of your genius hide, and when ready, they start to show you a new way to live. The way of the Black Butterfly!
"Black Butterfly is a deep initiation journey that every human has to go through" (~ participant)
Black Butterfly is an advanced process. It offers a rare opportunity to work within an advanced group with materials that many are afraid to touch. Many people speak of love, while underneath the surface, shadows are driving them beneath their awareness. For those who are ready to face those shadows and reclaim their innocent wholeness, this journey is a breath of fresh air. We will feel a lot, wake up, learn a lot, cry a lot, and laugh a lot.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This work is confronting. We have to be willing to look in the mirror at our authentic face hidden under the mask of acceptable social behaviors. We will meet and explore "dark emotions" and learn how they are all important and useful for our evolutionary path. Harnessing the creative life force of Eros, we will connect spirit and matter to become co-creators of our own life, instead of victims of circumstances. The more aware we are of our shadows, the more embodied we become. Shadow work is, in fact, the highest form of light work, as it requires the utmost unconditional love and compassion.
Black Butterfly is an initiation journey from trauma to initiation. From victim mentality to co-creator. From drama to empowerment.
Important Note
This retreat is NOT suitable for beginners in the field of Tantra or Sexual Shamanism. It is also NOT meant for trauma therapy. It is edgy work and meant for people who know themselves to be capable of working with potentially triggering material without losing their center or blaming others. For those people, this journey is a rare opportunity for transformation and growth.

ABOUT PELE & KATARA
OHAD PELE
We are privileged to have the internationally acclaimed wisdom teachings of Ohad Pele, who has been teaching Kabbalah, Sacred Sexuality, Love, and Conscious Relating for 30 years.
Pele was part of the lead faculty members who helped pioneer ISTA and served in its global governance for five years. He comes from a background of being a Kabbalist Rabbi and a scholar for many years. Pele sees himself more as an artist of transformation work than a "facilitator" or "teacher". He is a musician, an artist, and the author of several books, including "KEDESHA — The Return of the Priestesses of Love", a page-turner that reveals a historic conspiracy that changed our world and brought an end to the ancient Temple of Love in Jerusalem of the 7th century BCE.
Pele's work is focused on opening people to sacred wonder and guiding them into their depth, embracing the wholeness of human experience and moving towards the creation of a new society based on love and win-win solutions.
KATARA
Katara is a force of Epic Love. She vibrates Love, Freedom, and Empowerment — all combined as one evolutionary force for healing, transformation, and awakening.
With degrees in engineering and 1.5 decades working in Silicon Valley as an engineer, people manager, and leadership coach at major tech companies, Katara has applied her sharp analytical mind to developing emotional and relational tools and technologies to bring about the most efficient and effective transformations.
Katara guides journeys of self-discovery and reclaiming life force, helping people uncover their hidden potential and embrace their inherent divinity, all while harnessing the epic powers of Love and Eros.
“Sexuality is a gate to the Divine realms, but it is still unrecognized as so by the current cultures. In the ancient Temple Arts, sexuality was practiced as a key to open portals into other dimensions but this knowledge was mostly forgotten. Sacred Sexuality is a living temple, where we can give our separate egos as an offering on the altar, expand in love, download visions, create magic, heal traumas and surrender”. – Ohad Pele
