SUMMARY:Trauma as Medicine Retreat Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:Imagine the following: You are standing high on a mountaintop\, feet planted firmly on the ground\, arms stretched up to greet the heavens\, totally connected to Earth\, Water\, Air\, Fire\, and Spirit. Everything in your body lives and breathes in alignment with the land around you. You know you are here on purpose\, your life is rich with meaning\, and all your experiences have happened for a reason. You are the co-creator of your life and embodying your medicine. \nThis is the intention of Trauma as Medicine. \nIt is the living act of releasing the shackles of powerlessness found in the wake of grief\, trauma\, or suffering and choosing to do the work required to metabolize your pain. Whether this is facing fear\, expressing unresolved emotions\, or telling your story – each act removes the sensation of subjugation to the past and opens you to the power of the present moment. This is where freedom lies. This is where that mountain comes in. \nThis retreat utilizes land-based teachings\, integration circle\, shamanic journey\, movement\, meditation\, dyads\, one ceremony with Grandmother Psilocybin and one Hape ceremony\, to guide you in trusting you have the resources inherent in your own being to heal. With hands-on practices focused on personal embodiment and self-inquiry\, you will be supported in connecting with your sacred self. Note that actual mountains are not always included. \nRegistration & Costs: Early bird price $1111 must be paid by December 15th (with gst $1167) Regular price $1488 paid by Jan 15th. (with gst $1562) \nThis includes the cost of the retreat and your room which is twin shared. Payments may be made via e-transfer to sarahsalterkelly@gmail.com or with cc (add 3.5%) via pay pal or message me to use Square. \nHow to register? Book an intake session if you are new to working with me at this link (this is a separate cost of $120 which is paid through the link) and  Fill out this registration form. Once your spot is confirmed\, proceed with total payment via e-transfer or pay pal. \nFood will be a community creation where each person will be assigned one dish to contribute. \nThe Location: Ottawa area\, details given upon registration \nPlant Medicines:\nRainbow Serpent Lodge: The Rainbow Serpent Lodge was passed down to Sarah by her Spirit guide Thoth\, the God of wisdom in the Egyptian pantheon. In this lodge\, Sarah shares mushroom tea in a night ceremony. Participants are supported with channeled medicine songs and music\, hands-on healing\, tobacco cleanse\, and other shamanic practices to guide their journey. This is excellent medicine for delving into the deeper aspects of our life’s journeys so we can integrate them with the light. \n The intention of this lodge is to create a portal for the following: \n– Communing with Source. \n– Regulating the nervous system. \n– Illuminating one’s true nature. \n– Releasing old patterns. \n– Addressing grief & trauma. \n– Coming home to oneself & one’s body. \n– Investigating internal contracted energy. \n– Entering loving awareness – as referred to by Ram Dass. \n– Experiencing presence. \n Hape: Hape is a tobacco snuff from the Amazon used to clear heavy energy\, open the third eye\, and ground. \n Other processes: \n– Self-inquiry: The practice of investigating who we are to raise our awareness\, increase our understanding\, and release old patterning. In our retreat\, it is combined with shamanic journey & journal writing. \n– Fire Ceremony: Working with the Spirit of Fire\, you will learn a practice passed down through the Inca Medicine Wheel tradition for cleansing your being and asking for help. \n – Ecstatic Dance: Free-flow improvisational movement allows the body to move to the rhythm within and without for release\, empowerment\, and healing. \n – Shamanic Journey: The art of communing with Spirit through your own personal direct revelation – this practice enhances your intuition\, increases psychic awareness\, and instigates clarity in your healing experience. \n – Integration Circle: Sarah has had the joy of facilitating circles for over 20 years. The practice of bringing your visions into our circle is an integral part of awakening. This is where you learn to be seen\, to listen to the collective teachings in the group\, and to use your voice – be heard – as you share your heart. \n Sarah Salter Kelly is a Spiritual Teacher with a rich education in energy healing and hands-on practice. Her training is sourced in lived experiences – particularly healing from the homicide of her mother and learning to forgive the perpetrator – as well as thirty years of studying energy medicine\, shamanism\, restorative justice\, and personal growth. She shares an integrated path to lay the foundation for personal transformation and empowerment. \n Since 2007\, Sarah has run a private clinical practice\, created a healing centre\, hosted monthly moon gatherings\, developed and implemented shamanic training programs\, spoken at many conferences\, led retreats\, and brought groups to Peru to work with indigenous healers. Her primary focus is curating experiences with plant medicine for the healing of the body\, mind\, and spirit. Most recently\, she is the author of her first self-published book – “Trauma as Medicine.” \n  \nFor those interested in reading her book prior to attending – it is available here: Trauma as Medicine | Sarah Salter Kelly \n\n“This book provides not only a story of tremendous healing but gifts the reader a thorough roadmap to navigate our own healing and ultimately contribute to the collective wellbeing of our planet. Sarah provides many pertinent reflections on our collective relationship to the First peoples of this land and the role required of each of us.”  Teresa Callihoo\, MBA\, Wetaskiwin AB \n  “Sarah Salter Kelly took the agonizing pain of personal catastrophe and turned it into soul medicine for herself and others. What seared her soul\, then opened her soul. And an amazing light came in.” \n— Marianne Williamson\, Spiritual teacher and international best selling author \nTestimonials:\nWorking with Sarah and Trauma as Medicine has been a tremendous gift on my journey of healing my deep and long-standing abandonment wounds. Sarah’s ability to help empower me to heal myself\, without reliance on anything or anyone outside of my own inner medicine and truth has been a remarkable gift. Kate Hook – Onoway Alberta \nTraumatized is the best word to describe myself when I started working with Sarah. I attended her Trauma as medicine retreat\, did private sessions\, went to healing circles and many keynote speaker events. Every one of these teachings was medicine for my soul and body. I learned to love myself and awakened my Spirit from the resentment of spousal beatings and residential school trauma. Sarah is a gifted Healer\, and she has opened my life to see my own amazing journey unfold for the better. I talk to everyone about her teachings. Dianna C – Edmonton Alberta \nI have gleaned such a profound understanding of the importance of all of us being able to share our stories of trauma in order to help heal each other as a collective. To be able to do it in a safe environment where we know there will be no judgment\, just the pure desire to help support each other wherever we are in this process.
