SUMMARY:Starlight Medicine Spring 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 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 \n  \nCost of this program is $1488 cad plus room and board – both of which are done in one payment.  \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 psilocybin tea in a night ceremony. You are supported with channeled medicine songs\, music\, hands on healing\, tobacco cleanse\, and other shamanic methods.

Being able to use your breath to breathe in what you need and release what you do not\, during ceremony.\nMeditation – any practice that you use in your daily life for calming your nervous system and engaging your ability to observe mind translates well for a psychedelic experience. Check out Energy Body 1 & Energy Body 2 to help with this.\nContemplate your experiences with physical challenges be these ones you have created\, like climbing a mountain or unexpected like an injury. How did you find the endurance to be with this and rise to the occasion. That is the gumption which is needed in ceremony.\nInner discipline – be this from training in spiritual traditions\, religion\, or personal growth.\nCuriosity & playfulness – this is not all about the hard things! This medicine has a sense of humour and if you get curious during your journey\, you will experience joy.\nGratitude practice – awareness that all the lessons which show up in our life are opportunities to learn – especially if we say thank you.\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Trauma as Medicine Retreat Ottawa

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Trauma as Medicine Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Imagine this: You are standing on top of a mountain\, with your feet firmly planted on the ground and your arms stretched up toward the sky. You feel completely connected to Earth\, Water\, Air\, Fire\, and Spirit. Every part of your body is in harmony with the land around you. You know that you are here for a reason\, your life is filled with purpose\, and all your experiences have meaning. You are actively shaping your own life and embodying your essence. \nThis is the intention of Trauma as Medicine.\nDuring this retreat\, you will engage in land-based teachings\, circles\, shamanic journeys\, movement\, meditation\, and three plant medicine ceremonies. These activities aim to help you trust in your inherent resources for self-healing. Through hands-on practices that emphasize personal embodiment and self-inquiry\, you will receive support in connecting with your sacred self. Please note that actual mountains may not be included. \nTime Frame: November 21 – 24 \nRegistration & Costs: Early bird price $1111 must be paid by November 1st (with gst $1167) Regular price $1488 paid by Nov 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 pay pal. \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 environment: Located on private land at Cooking lake Alberta in a 6 bdrm house\, with 4 bathrooms.  \nPlant Medicines – Psilocybin & Huachuma\nPsilocybin tea is shared in the Rainbow Serpent Lodge which was passed to Sarah through a vision she has back in 2007 through Thoth\, the Egyptian God of wisdom. 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. \nHuachuma (San Pedro) is a psychedelic cactus that grows in the high Andes of Peru. It specializes in opening our hearts to love and helping us to bring this into the world. Our health and vitality are linked to our relationship with ourselves\, Mother Earth and Spirit\, which is often out of balance. Huachuma helps us to re-establish these relationships and investigate what is needed for harmony.

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 – Qi-gong: A meditative practice incorporating breathing techniques\, movement\, sound\, and self-massage. Its origins lie in traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy. \n Sarah Salter Kelly is a Spiritual Teacher with a rich education in energy healing and hands-on practice.

Once tension is sensed and felt\, it can be released with this easy\, pleasureable technique to restore balance and harmony within all parts of self. Truly a sef-empowering felt sense and release technique! \nAssisting: Kim Novotny \n \nA lifetime of evolving movement education going deeper into the roots\, returning to remembering of all we already know.
