Sandplay facilitates the expression and resolution of what are called ‘unconscious complexes' in Jungian psychology. The most important complexes are the parental ones which are shaped by the experiences of childhood.

Sandplay allows a safe kind of projection to take place - so that affects are projected, using objects, within the ‘free and protected space’ of the sandtray, instead of in the outer world.

I hope you'll join me next month! This sandplay workshop is open to all experience levels. We welcome therapists and counselors who are interested in learning more about using sand and miniatures in their practice. In this small group setting, we will share case material and together analyze and discuss the images and content in sand tray scenes. This is an excellent way to become familiar with the power of the symbolic language.

Jungian sandplay follows this mental process as a natural and human way to connect with the inner self experience. The sand can be a place to make sense of your stuff.

Sandplay is a vibrant 3-D arts/play experience to activate new ways of thinking. The beauty of Sandplay is that it allows people to express and connect their emotions while processing internal events, challenges or trauma in life.

Sandplay therapy has two parts to it: the first direction is to make the picture; after this is done, the client is then asked to tell a story. Both acts are extremely important.
