SUMMARY:Starlight Medicine Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is an invitation to come home. To open to the genuine presence of your being through the use of plant medicine ceremony and earth based traditional practices. It is focused on the awareness that you have what you need within you – everything is in fact here now – and our healing is the art of integrating\, accepting\, and loving what is. In this process we claim the light of our true nature and use this light – starlight- to guide our way. \nSarah’s teachings are nondual\, based on the philosophy that we are one. Through cultivating loving awareness we remember we are not separate from our Source and in this way\, we align who we are with how we live. She is the author of Trauma as Medicine\, a DIY book for healing trauma and transforming your life; based on the personal experience of losing her mother to homicide and subsequent journey of healing and forgiveness. \n3 Plant Spirit Medicines: \n1 Forest Medicine night ceremony \n1 Heart Medicine day ceremony \nHape ceremony \n4 Earth Tradition Ceremonies: \nStarlight Medicine Ritual \nFire Ceremony \nHucha stone cleanse \nDespacho \nThe location – The Sentinel is a top-notch environment for soul healing. Nestled on 6 pristine acres on Kootenay lake you can expect to be held in the power of these ancient mountains with love\, wisdom and stillness. The rooms all have a view of the lake\, the food is local\, organic and much is grown on the property.  For you pleasure there is a hot tub\, sauna\, and of course cold plunges in the lake. \n \nNote that this includes a intention setting intake session and an post ceremony integration session both on Zoom – 60 minutes each.  \n  \n Registration on this link\nFurther Details:\nStarlight Medicine Ritual – This ritual has come through the ancient teachings of our starlight ancestors as a guide for these times. We are in a great moment of awakening\, and it is necessary to open to the highest light for the illumination of our path. This ritual is delivered through visualization\, shamanic journey and earth-based practices. \nForest Medicine ceremony – The Rainbow serpent lodge was passed to Sarah many years ago through her Spirit guide Thoth; the God of wisdom in the Egyptian pantheon. In this lodge she shares tea in a night ceremony. You are supported with channeled medicine songs\, music\, hands on healing\, tobacco cleanse\, and other shamanic methods. This is an excellent medicine for moving into the underworld aspects of our life’s journey so we can integrate them with the light. \nThe intention of this lodge is to create a portal for the following: \n\nCommune with Source.\nRegulate your nervous system.\nIlluminate your true nature.\nRelease old patterns.\nAddress grief & trauma.\nCome home to your self & your body.\nInvestigate internal contracted energy.\nEnter loving awareness – as referred to by Ram Das\nExperience presence\n\nHeart medicine Ceremony –  This profound medicine is shared in a day ceremony. It is an exceptional allie for connecting us with our inner child and facilitating an experience of embodiment. Held in the social and sacred container of our retreat community you begin to see yourself in a new way – releasing stories that do not serve your highest good  – and opening to your child like sense of wonderment. \nFire Ceremony – Working with the Spirit of fire you will learn a practice passed through the Inca Medicine Wheel tradition for cleansing your being and asking for help.  \nHape ceremony A sacred snuff comprised of tobacco and other plants this medicine supports your healing through the opening of your third eye\, connection with your heart and a rooted sense of awareness in your physical body. \nDespacho – From the highest reaches of the Andes Mountains this ceremony offers a practice of gratitude that is rooted in the celebration of life. Utilizing flowers\, seeds\, and objects from nature a mandala is created with prayer and intention to give thanks for all that is here. \nIntegration – Sarah has had the joy of facilitating circles for over 20 years. The practice of bringing your visions into our circle are 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. \nThe team – Sarah has gathered a solid team of assistants – professionals in the holistic field – to ensure you have what you need to tuning and turning inwards. \nRegistration on this link\nSarah Salter Kelly is a spiritual teacher\, healer and author of the book Trauma as Medicine.
