Join us for an immersive two-day keynote course that explores the transformative power of sandtray play therapy for clients across the lifespan. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned clinicians, this training offers a rich foundation in both the theory and practice of sandtray therapy.
Participants will receive a comprehensive coursebook of over 100 pages, packed with practical tools, techniques, and insights to help you confidently incorporate sandtray into your work. A reflective journal is also included to support your personal and professional journey during and beyond the training.
Throughout the course, you'll engage in a dynamic mix of experiential activities, hands-on exercises, role plays, and video demonstrations that bring the content to life. You’ll create your own personal sandtrays, allowing you to experience the healing process from the inside out—grounded in the Therapeutic Powers of Play. The training also covers core principles of both play therapy and sandtray therapy, offering guidance on how to work with imagery in the sand while weaving together theory, ethics, clinical application, and self-exploration.
