Trauma as Medicine
*Please note this speaker session has sensitive subject matter that may cause triggers for some.
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.
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 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.
Over the past fourteen years Sarah 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.
