Facing The Sun Podcast
Episode 16 - Turning Trauma Into Medicine
Host: Sam Adams
Guest: Sarah Salter Kelly
Producer: April Munson
Join Sam as she sits down with Sarah Salter Kelly for a compelling conversation that explains how Sarah began the practice of turning trauma into medicine. Sarah explains to us that we have the power and capacity to heal by looking inward to create a dominant foundation while also creating purpose from our trauma. As uncomfortable as it is, we must sit with our trauma to really see it for what it is. Additionally, Sarah tells of how she uses medicine to illuminate the aspects of our soul’s journey that open us to the grace of who we are.
Sam Adams is joined by Sarah Salter Kelly to discuss:
Sarah Salter Kelly is a talented healer, teacher, 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/public events.
Her primary background is in energy healing – Shamanism, Reiki and Ceremony to be precise. She has been initiated into the highest order of the Andean Shamanic path on her eight journeys to Peru, being gifted rites of passage at over five of their sacred Apu’s, (mountains) and carries the lineage of the Q’ero tradition. She has worked extensively in creating and facilitating shamanic healing programs that integrate these teachings in relationship with the land, culture and spirit of the West.
She is a mother, wife, and lover of organic gardening, as well as an avid out-door enthusiast, seeking the edges of the wild for solace, connection, and the challenge of physical endurance. At present she resides in Grand Forks B.C. with her husband, pets, and last child at home.
