SPEAKER BIOS
Speaker: Christopher Solomon, Somatic Salvia Guide
Christopher Solomon is a somatic Salvia guide, teacher, and inventor of a pipe that aids in the mindful exploration of Salvia Divinorum. Incorporating lessons learned directly from Salvia and as a student of somatic psychotherapy, Christopher is pioneering techniques to use Salvia as a therapeutic tool for guided self-healing, meditation, and introspection. Christopher lectures about the proper, intentional, and therapeutic use of Salvia, offering a blend of scientific, esoteric, and therapeutic perspectives. He also cultivates a medicinal Salvia garden for use in his therapeutic practice with clients. His main goal is to teach people how to use Salvia for themselves in a manner that is supportive, informative, and empowering. He has a B.A in Psychology from the University of Texas at Dallas, and received his training in somatic psychotherapy from the Hakomi Institute of California.
This presentation will give you an understanding of how to work with low doses of the plant for therapeutic purposes. Salvia is a very potent plant. The consciousness shifting effects are quite unlike any other psychotropic substance. Taking one large hit of Salvia catalyzes a rapid and marked shift in consciousness on multiple levels: psychologically, kinesthetically and energetically. The shift that occurs on large doses of Salvia can be overwhelming. This does not have to be the case. A tiny amount of Salvia is all that is needed to start reaping and enjoying therapeutic benefits.
