I would love to hear from you – share with me how Trauma as Medicine has been helpful for you, or come pick up your copy and begin to set intention in addressing your trauma.

What if our suffering holds the key to our personal and collective healing?

In Trauma as Medicine, Sarah Salter Kelly shares her experience of her mother’s kidnapping and brutal homicide as an inspiring example of how to distill trauma into medicine. Chapter by chapter, she invites the reader to take their own journey of healing.
Sarah’s story takes us beyond the realm of personal healing and into the collective, as she seeks to understand her mother’s murderer. This leads her to the First Nations reserve of his ancestors and real-life immersion in the history of colonization in Canada, systemic racism, and white privilege.
Offering ceremonies, journaling, and exercises, Sarah leads you into the discomfort of your own suffering. Her work invites you to be with your pain, determine for yourself what you need, and discover the tools to proceed towards wholeness.
Areas of focus include:

Connecting with your own helping spirits, guides, and ancestors
Altered states, including Ayahuasca
Setting healthy boundaries
Tending to the victim self
Tuning in to feelings
Facing fear and building a strong intuition
Metabolising trauma: digesting and composting the waste, assimilating the gifts
Ceremonies to face a perpetrator and contemplate forgiveness
Collective healing

Years of training in spiritual healing and personal growth, as well as a focus on animistic and shamanic traditions, enable Sarah to present a guide to freedom, compassion, and authentic forgiveness. She provides a path into the very life lessons which lie before us: those found at the heart of our trauma.

Trauma as Medicine Retreat Ottawa

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.

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.
This is the intention of Trauma as Medicine.
It 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.
This 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.

This is excellent medicine for delving into the deeper aspects of our life’s journeys so we can integrate them with the light.
The intention of this lodge is to create a portal for the following:
– Communing with Source.
– Regulating the nervous system.
– Illuminating one’s true nature.
– Releasing old patterns.
– Addressing grief & trauma.
– Coming home to oneself & one’s body.
– Investigating internal contracted energy.
– Entering loving awareness – as referred to by Ram Dass.
– Experiencing presence.
Hape: Hape is a tobacco snuff from the Amazon used to clear heavy energy, open the third eye, and ground.
Other processes:
– 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.
– 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.
– Ecstatic Dance: Free-flow improvisational movement allows the body to move to the rhythm within and without for release, empowerment, and healing.
– 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.
– 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.

Working 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
Traumatized is the best word to describe myself when I started working with Sarah.

Huachuma (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. It is a daytime ceremony which will hold moments of inner reflection as well as times for group engagement. You are encouraged to trust in yourself, the medicine, and the process. The ceremony is twelve hours long on Saturday.
Hape: Hape is a tobacco snuff from the Amazon used to clear heavy energy, open the third eye, and ground.
Other processes:
– 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.
– Despacho: The art of gifting and giving thanks for all that we have through creating a sacred mandala we offer to Mother Earth.
– 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.

– Qi-gong: A meditative practice incorporating breathing techniques, movement, sound, and self-massage. Its origins lie in traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy.

A little more info…Our energy body is synonymous with the terms light body or energy bubble. It is influenced by your connection to the natural world around you and is sourced in your capacity to embody love. As your unique expression of the creative life force, its vitality depends on your relationship with self and Spirit. If you feel filled with the love and wonder of the universe, trusting yourself as a sovereign leader in your life, your energy body is strong and light. If you are holding lots of unresolved pain, afraid of what might happen next, and not sure where you fit or belong, your energy body is likely dense and dysfunctional.

Shamanic Journey Course
2024-03-19 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | Roots on Whyte, unit 304, 8135-102st, Edmonton, Alberta, T6E4A4, Canada
Shamanic Journey is the art of communing with Spirit through your own personal direct revelation. It is a method which enhances your intuition, increases psychic awareness, and instigates clarity on your path.

We are gifted with the capacity to heal through the use of our awareness and willingness to open our hearts. This is truly an amazing thing.

Each of us humans are comprised of the legacy of those who have gone before us, just as we pass down our legacy to the future generations. This is rooted in what we have, or have not healed in our ancestral lineage.

From the West direction of the medicine wheel Jaguar greets us. Every step and motion accounted for, it is Jaguar who inspires impeccability and integrity to guide us through the dark. It is jaguar whose astute confidence leads us to come to terms with our power and address our fears. In Andean Shamanism Jaguar represents the Kay-pacha, the middle world & the present moment.

Relationship is built with each realm to support a greater understanding of who you are and your place in the Great Mystery.
POWER ANIMAL – Receive the benefit of shapeshifting into their body and seeing the world through their eyes/experiences. Listen and feel into what you must learn on a sensory level and how this perspective may change your own point of view. For example: Cobra helps us to connect with the Kundalini fire rising from the earth, awakening each of our chakras with this power. Experiencing what it is like to move with the awareness and presence of Cobra shows you how to embody, feel and express what you want.
ECSTATIC DANCE – There is about thirty minutes of free form movement included in each of these classes to support your body in releasing contracted energy, open to your gifts, and practice embodiment.

A little more information from my Book on Energy Bodies:
Your energy body is synonymous with the terms light body or energy bubble. It is influenced by your connection to the natural world around you and is sourced in your capacity to embody love. As your unique expression of the creative life force, its vitality depends on your relationship with self and Spirit. If you feel filled with the love and wonder of the universe, trusting yourself as a sovereign leader in your life, your energy body is strong and light. If you are holding lots of unresolved pain, aftraid of what might happen next, and not sure where you fit or belong, your energy body is dense and dysfunctional. Obviously, we all have moments where we deviate between the two; the intention at hand is to be consious of this deviation and address whatever issue/trauma/experience is blocking you.

ARCHETYPE AS A SPIRIT GUIDE – Tonight we work with Anubis, which means meeting him directly in your shamanic journey to learn what he has to teach you. How does the mythos of his story contribute to the soul teachings you are seeking. He is the one who protects the dead – what has died – and is a gate keeper into the realm of the underworld. In a journey with him you are guided to make peace with what has died, with what is at its natural cycle of endings. Or to be conscious of what you are holding on to that needs to die so you can let it go.
SHAMANIC JOURNEY is the art of experiencing direct revelation at will. As a core shamanic practice, it is a fundamental tool in learning to navigate the underworld, middle world & upperworld, utilizing the information gathered to bring forth messages, meaning and purpose. Relationship is built with each realm to support a greater understanding of who you are and your place in the Great Mystery.
When working with a specific archetype or power-animal the investigation is to meet this being and learn what it has to teach you. This can be in any of the aforementioned realms.

2023-07-25 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Roots on Whyte, unit 304, 8135-102st, Edmonton, Alberta, T6E4A4, Canada
Psychedellics give us the opportunity to expand our understanding of who we are, confront our internal obstacles and open to a new way of seeing ourselves. They highlight the relational aspect of our human experience by reminding us we are in fact connected to everything. This means we are connected to our past, inclusive of grief and trauma that we have not addressed. In a psychedellic experience we have the opportunity to explore these things. The question is, how do we do this safely, with intention to futher our wellness journey.
For years I have been facilitating shamanic teachings which have included working with groups in the Amazon in the care of Grandmother Ayahuasca and in group ceremonies in Canada with Grandmother Psilocybin.
My initial introduction to psychedellics began over thirty years ago and is the foundational element in my healing practice and understanding of my place in the Universe.
This evening we will explore the following:
How can micro dosing help in addressing trauma?
What happens in a group ceremony?
Talking to Spirit – what is real?
How to integrate the depth of pscychedellic experience to bring it home and make life changes.

2023-06-22 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | Roots on Whyte, unit 304, 8135-102st, Edmonton, Alberta, T6E4A4, Canada
Forgiveness has the power to liberate us from our deepest suffering, to remind us that joy and grace are ever present and available – if we so choose.
When we align with our Source – our highest power – we naturally remember the truth of our being and are able to shift our perspective to a different vantage point. To explore who we are and what has come to pass with a new set of eyes.
The grievances we hold – towards ourselves or others – remain as contracted energy in our bodies. This impedes our ability to open to our light, diminishes our relationships, and prevents us from feeling connected. What we have not forgiven quite literally prevents us from showing up in our lives.
How can we if we are consumed with all the holding required to bear these greivances.
This monthly circle offers an opportunity to engage your felt sense, explore your energy body, and notice what you are holding as contracted unforgiven blocks. Then begin the work of self inquiry to explore and investigate how you may change this to cultivate peace.
