Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox organization/Wikidata The International School of Temple Arts (ISTA) is an organization which describes itself as promoting sexual healing and healthy attitudes towards sex.[1] ISTA is a modern mystery religion, schooling participants in the spiritual aspects of sex.[2]
ISTA was founded in 2007 by Baba Dez Nichols in Arizona, as an international non-profit educational organization.[2][3][4]
Nudity and other practices believed to occur at ISTA have caused controversy and opposition to establishment of ISTA schools at some locations.[5] The week-long workshops held by ISTA are not welcomed by many of those who are uncomfortable with counterculture and New Age practices.[5][1]
Journalist Anke Richter stated to the Byron Shire Echo that "There was a covert harem culture at ISTA. Male pioneers surrounded themselves with young female lovers, often from their trainings, who were then accelerated to apprentices and facilitators".[6] Some senior members of the organisation have been accused of performing sex acts on meeting participants without consent or pressuring them to consent to sex acts.[6][7][8] One woman said that she had been raped by a teacher after he drugged her with MDMA.[6] In 2021 the organisation said that they had implemented a policy of not allowing Temple Training teachers to have sex with participants.[7]
