This small group intensive immerses participants fully in the realm of sandplay through case studies, didactic materials, and rich experiential work.
Experiential activities may include clay, paint, music, meditation, yoga, journaling, collage, and dance and body movement drawing on the work of Marion Woodman. Case studies span adult and child work, deepening knowledge of sandplay processes, Jungian concepts, and Eastern elements of silence and presence.
Trainers will teach on tracking themes, holding a free and protected space, co-transference, Shadow, and the expression of Individuation as it appears in the sandtray
