In essence, it’s like stepping into a dream with the spirits + energies of your crystals, and going on a healing adventure. If you’ve ever experienced shamanic journeying, or plant medicine journeying, it’s the same concept, except in this case you are dropping into trance with crystals and experiencing different spiritual realms in consciousness. You are always consciously aware in these journeys and empowered, but this allows you to tap into the deep, unconscious spaces within where memories, programmed patterns, and karma are carried. It also opens you to other realms in consciousness (like the Akashic realm, angelic realm, etc.), and creates clear channels of communication with spirit guides, teachers, masters, etc. who can help guide and advise you.

For many of my Workshops and monthly Crystal Circles,(https://www.istariacrystallis.com/events) there are no pre-requisites or experience required to join. This is a great place to start if you're a beginner. You can also explore the Monthly Access Pass (https://www.istariacrystallis.com/monthly-access-pass)as a beginner or seasoned crystal user. I suggest you first start with "The Initiation" quest before you begin your work in any of the other quests such as Dragon Lore, Ancestral Healing, Akashic Revelations, Akashic Scribe, Galactic Shaman PT.1, or Earth Song. You won't need to have experience with crystals to do the work in Primer, Light Code Transmission, or Crystal Mystika. If there are pre-requisites required it will be stated clearly on the website, such as with The Labyrinth Path.

We have a 1-Year Access Pass for $33 per month that grants you access to all 10 crystal healing quests for a year: • The Initiation • Light Code Transmission • Earth Song • Ancestral Healing • Akashic Revelations • Akashic Scribe • Crystal Mystika • Galactic Shaman Pt. 1 • Dragon Lore • Primer The 1-Year Access Pass is only applicable to the Crystal Healing Quests and does not include access to my workshops or monthly crystal circles,(https://www.istariacrystallis.com/events) or any of the 2026 Programs.(https://www.istariacrystallis.com/2026-programs)

The Initiation is a short, inexpensive course that will train you in: • Channeling crystal spirits, consciousness, and light codes. • Psychic discernment so you can easily identify the good spirits from the bad ones (or the positive realms vs. the negative ones). • Spiritual sovereignty so that you always know how to remain in your power, and so that you feel confident while journeying. • And essential shielding techniques with sacred geometry. Once you’ve done the initiation quest, you are trained to do the work in any of the crystal healing quests (Earth Song, Ancestral Healing, Akashic Revelations, Akashic Scribe, Dragon Lore, Galactic Shaman Pt. 1).

It’s a simple non-disclosure and terms of use agreement, not unlike the one you agree to whenever downloading a new application or update on your computer or device. It’s your choice to sign it or not, but please note that you cannot proceed into the school or programs without signing it. This helps to protect our intellectual property as well as provide a safe and confidential space for our community. Signing the pledge does not make you part of a cult. The school itself is non-denominational and inclusive of all cultures and systems of belief. This work is about exploring YOUR truth, YOUR abilities, YOUR connection to Source or the Higher Power you espouse through your crystals. It’s meant to bring greater joy, wisdom, mystery, enchantment, wonder, and healing to your world. We welcome who you are and will never seek to change you or tell you who or what to believe, we simply share the wonders we’ve uncovered for you to explore and determine yourself. This is our promise to you.

You can start with any program, workshop, or healing circle that calls to you. It is only within the Monthly Access Pass,(https://www.istariacrystallis.com/monthly-access-pass) we'd suggest you start with "The Initiation" quest. From there, you can move onto Light Code Transmission OR pick and choose whichever quest calls to your soul, or offers the healing, guidance, manifestation magic, or spiritual growth you crave. Think of it as a “choose your own adventure” school, or a crystalline version of Hogwarts where every class is an elective.

If you sign up for the Monthly Access Pass,(https://www.istariacrystallis.com/monthly-access-pass) you will have 1 year streaming access to all quest and class material. Should you wish to extend that access period, that option will be available after your year-access has passed. If you want to sign up for one singular quest, the team can assist you, but you'll have to pay the full course price and you'll also have unlimited streaming access to the replays as part of that course. While we can no longer guarantee lifetime access for our courses and programs, you do have unlimited streaming access to watch the content as much as you like.

Yes! We have created our own private community space that forms part of the Mystery School, and anyone who signs their Pledge of Secrecy will be granted access to the community. We also post replays of our Fire Gatherings to the group for all to enjoy who cannot make it live. Fire Gatherings are our monthly group sessions, live online with Krista. They are free to all Istari who have signed the pledge.

Yes! We will be holding monthly “Fire Gatherings” where we will gather together online, with cups of tea and snacks, to share our experiences and receive guidance or support direct from Krista as needed (Krista LOVES our group gatherings, she will always be offering those). Fire Gatherings are available for all our students who have signed the Pledge of Secrecy.

The nature of Krista’s work with the crystals is always evolving. They presented to her a new a fun way to lead people into this magical world and work with them. They said to structure the mystery school “like an oracle card deck”, one that you could journey into to not only receive guidance and insight, but energy healing, too. We also listened to our community: Many found the larger course structures (and price tags) daunting or inaccessible. This makes this advanced, luminous healing + soul-discovery work with the crystallines more available to everyone! And that was the ultimate point: To spread light and consciousness as far and wide as possible.

For people who have already taken Level 1: Level 2 will still be an enrolment option through 2025-2026. You can email the team (mailto:admin@krista-mitchell.com)if you have completed level 1 and want to enrol in level 2. For those who have already taken Level 2: The Practitioner Program will still remain an option through 2025-2026 for people who have completed Istaria Crystallis® level 1 + 2. The Labyrinth Program will not qualify you for Istaria Crystallis®: Practitioner. Istaria Crystallis® Level 1, 2, and the Practitioner Program are not healing containers and thus do not have lifetime access. They are educational training programs where students and practitioners are expected to learn the techniques so that they can embody it in their own practice and with their clients if they're practitioners.
