SUMMARY:Trauma as Medicine Retreat BC
DESCRIPTION:Healing Through Presence\, Accountability\, and Embodied Wisdom\nTrauma as Medicine is a ceremonial and integrative healing retreat rooted in a simple yet radical truth: \nOur pain is not a mistake. \nWhen met with presence\, responsibility\, and skilled support\, trauma becomes a doorway to wisdom\, wholeness\, and embodied freedom. This work is not about fixing what is broken—it is about remembering what is whole. \n\nThe Principles of Trauma as Medicine\nTrauma Lives in the BodyTrauma is held in the nervous system\, tissues\, breath\, and patterns of contraction. Healing requires somatic presence\, regulation\, and embodied awareness—not insight alone. \nPower Is Restored Through ResponsibilityThis work does not reinforce victim identity. Participants are supported in reclaiming agency:I may not be responsible for what happened to me\, but I am responsible for how I meet it now. \nHealing Happens in RelationshipTrauma often occurs in isolation. Repair happens within safe\, intentional relational fields—with land\, Spirit\, and community. \nAltered States Reveal; Integration Makes It LastExpanded states of consciousness can open insight\, emotional release\, and spiritual remembrance. Integration is what transforms experience into lasting change. \n👉 REGISTER HERE\n\nThe Role of Forest Medicine 🍄\nPlant Spirit Healing is used in this retreat as a ceremonial sacrament and therapeutic catalyst\, not a recreational substance. \nWithin a carefully held ceremonial container\, Forest Medicine 🍄 supports: \n\n\nAccess to unconscious and somatically held material \n\n\nIncreased emotional processing and nervous system flexibility \n\n\nA felt sense of connection\, meaning\, and belonging \n\n\nSoftening of rigid trauma-based identity structures \n\n\nForest Medicine 🍄 does not heal on its own.It reveals\, amplifies\, and illuminates. \nHealing occurs through: \n\n\nPreparation and intention \n\n\nSkilled facilitation and energetic containment \n\n\nSomatic awareness and self-inquiry \n\n\nPost-ceremony integration and accountability \n\n\n👉 REGISTER HERE\n\nWhat This Retreat Includes\nThis retreat weaves together ceremonial\, somatic\, and integrative practices to support deep healing and embodiment. \nCore Elements \n\n\nTwo deep-dive evening Forest Medicine 🍄 ceremonies \n\n\nOne small-dose daytime Forest Medicine 🍄 ceremony \n\n\nOne Hapé ceremony \n\n\nShamanic journeying \n\n\nIntegration circles \n\n\nLand-based teachings \n\n\nMeditation \n\n\nEcstatic Dance \n\n\nSelf-inquiry practices \n\n\nPartner dyads \n\n\nAccommodation and organic meals \n\n\nAll practices are designed to support recognition that the capacity for healing already exists within you. \nPreparation & Integration Support\n\n\n1 × Intention-Setting Session (60 min\, Zoom) \n\n\n1 × Post-Ceremony Integration Session (60 min\, Zoom) \n\n\nThese sessions support continuity\, safety\, and real-world integration. \n👉 REGISTER HERE\n\nPlant Spirit Healing 🍄\nRainbow Serpent Lodge\nRainbow Serpent Lodge is the ceremonial healing lineage through which Forest Medicine 🍄 is shared in this retreat. It was received by Sarah in 2007 through direct spiritual transmission from her guide Thoth\, associated with wisdom and divine order in the Egyptian tradition. \nWithin the lodge\, Forest Medicine 🍄 is shared in two evening ceremonies\, supported by: \n\n\nLive\, channeled medicine songs \n\n\nHands-on energetic healing \n\n\nTobacco cleansing \n\n\nShamanic prayer and ritual \n\n\nThe lodge creates a coherent energetic field that supports participants in meeting deep personal material with safety\, clarity\, and compassion. \n\nAdditional Practices\nSelf-InquiryGuided investigation into identity\, belief systems\, and trauma patterning\, supported by journaling and shamanic journey. \nFire CeremonyA cleansing and prayer-based practice from the Inca Medicine Wheel tradition. \nEcstatic DanceSomatic\, non-verbal movement for emotional release\, vitality\, and embodiment. \nIntegration CirclesFacilitated group sharing to metabolize insight and ground experience into daily life. \n\nAbout the Facilitator\nSarah Salter-Kelly\nSarah Salter-Kelly is a spiritual teacher\, ceremonialist\, and trauma-informed facilitator with over 30 years of experience in healing and consciousness work. \nHer work is deeply informed by lived experience\, including the homicide of her mother and a long journey of grief\, forgiveness\, and embodied integration. This path became the foundation for Trauma as Medicine—both the methodology and the text. \nSince 2007\, Sarah has: \n\n\nMaintained a private clinical practice \n\n\nCreated and led shamanic training programs \n\n\nFacilitated retreats and ceremonies internationally \n\n\nWorked with plant medicines in ceremonial and therapeutic contexts \n\n\nGuided thousands through integration and embodiment \n\n\n\nThis Retreat Is a Fit for You If…\n☐ You feel called to meet trauma at the root☐ You are willing to take responsibility for your healing☐ You understand psilocybin as a sacrament\, not a shortcut☐ You value preparation\, ceremony\, and integration☐ You can remain present with discomfort and uncertainty☐ You seek spiritual depth without bypass \nThis Retreat Is Not a Fit for You If…\n☐ You are seeking a recreational or purely visionary experience☐ You expect psilocybin or the facilitator to do the work for you☐ You are unwilling to engage in integration or accountability☐ You are currently in acute crisis requiring clinical care☐ You are seeking escape rather than embodied presence \n👉 REGISTER HERE\n\nPraise for Trauma as Medicine\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.”— Teresa Callihoo\, MBA\, Wetaskiwin AB \n\n\n“Sarah Salter Kelly took the agonizing pain of personal catastrophe and turned it into soul medicine for herself and others.”— Marianne Williamson \n\n\nTestimonials\nKate Hook — Onoway\, AB“Working with Sarah and Trauma as Medicine has been a tremendous gift.
