Trauma as Medicine: Why Psilocybin can support trauma healing
July 21 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm UTC-7

A free one-hour workshop with Sarah Salter-Kelly, author of Trauma as Medicine
Trauma lives not only in the mind, but in the body, nervous system, breath, and protective patterns we carry through life.
In this free one-hour workshop, Sarah Salter-Kelly will explore why psilocybin, when approached with reverence, preparation, skilled facilitation, and integration, can be a meaningful ally in addressing trauma. Drawing from her book Trauma as Medicine and over two decades of experience in shamanic healing, ceremony, and plant spirit work, Sarah will speak to the ways psilocybin can help bring awareness to what has been buried, soften rigid trauma-based identities, restore connection with the body and Spirit, and support the process of turning pain into embodied wisdom.
Sarah speaks to plant medicine as a sacred and intentional path—one that asks us to meet ourselves honestly, listen to the body, take responsibility for our healing, and integrate what is revealed into daily life. Her work is rooted in the understanding that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering what is whole. In her book she describes healing as bringing “love, attention, and awareness to what is out of balance within us,” and this workshop offers a grounded introduction to how psilocybin may support that process.
Why Psilocybin, Key Points:
-
What does it mean to turn Trauma into Medicine
-
Access what the thinking mind alone cannot reach
-
Bring awareness to trauma held within the body and nervous system
-
Create space to feel and move emotions that have been suppressed or avoided
-
Soften rigid trauma-based identities and reconnect with a deeper sense of self
-
Restore connection with Spirit, nature, community, and life through earth-based ceremonial healing
-
Understand why integration, preparation, and skilled support are essential for lasting transformation
Sarah Salter-Kelly is a shamanic teacher, ceremonialist, medicine woman, and author of Trauma as Medicine, devoted to the remembrance of our true nature. Her work serves the re-alignment of the human soul with Source, restoring the lived knowing of our non-duality and our belonging within the great web of life.
She offers grounded spiritual leadership for meeting suffering as sacred initiation—guiding the alchemy through which pain is metabolized, wisdom is revealed, and full responsibility for one’s life is reclaimed. Her teachings do not bypass the human experience, but invite us into intimate presence with it, where truth can be embodied and soul fragments return home.
Her wisdom has been forged through fire. Born of the long arc of integrating the violent loss of her mother and the radical act of forgiveness that followed, her path is shaped by more than 35 years of devotion to personal transformation, energy medicine, shamanism, psychedelic initiation, and earth-based spiritual lineages. What she carries has been lived, prayed, and earned.
With over two decades of experience guiding workshops, retreats, and initiatory trainings, Sarah now works primarily with Grandmother Psilocybin in sacred group ceremony. Through prayer, song, and communion, she holds spaces where the veils thin, the heart remembers, and participants are invited to return to the truth of who they are—children of Source, walking the earth in sacred reciprocity.
