Trauma as Medicine Inspirational Talk & Workshop with Sarah Salter Kelly
In this workshop, Sarah will share inspirational stories and tools for addressing trauma garnished from her own personal experience and from years of teaching trauma focused workshops.
In her book, 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 on a personal level. 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 to be with it, determine for yourself what you need, and discover the tools to proceed towards wholeness.
Sarah will have her books with her for sale and will do book signings for anyone who would like a special message from her.
Coffee and tea service will be provided.
Sarah Salter Kelly is a talented writer, healer and speaker utilizing the raw compounded teachings of her life experience, to uplift, empower and guide others. Her wisdom is authentic, embodied and hard won – generated through years of integrating the tragic homicide of her mother and learning to forgive the perpetrator – alongside thirty years of studying personal growth, mysticism, restorative justice, and earth-based healing traditions. Over the past fourteen years she has run her own private healing practice facilitated retreats – both in Canada and in Peru – taught trauma focused and shamanic healing workshops, and presented at conferences and events.
This event will be held in the Tamarack Room at the Village Creek Country Inn. Please head to the lobby and ask the front desk staff where the meeting room is located.
