Join a small group dedicated to learning Sandtray Therapy

and the neuroscience that supports it.

 

The year-long study of The Body-Brain Approach to Sandtray Therapy is designed to foster mastery of sandray therapy grounded in relational neuroscience. As part of the program, you will attend three online training sessions and end the year with an in-person gathering in Cumming, GA, USA (45 miles north of Atlanta’s airport). All the trainings will be three days in duration.  Between the trainings, you will have reading assignments intended to support learning and you will meet online with practice partners to experience your own sandtrays and practice facilitating sandtray therapy sessions. Throughout the year, you will participate in group sandtray supervision/consultations. We will begin with general supervision designed to support your learning of the process of sandtray therapy, and progress to case consultations in support of your work with clients. As part of our capstone in-person gathering, you will participate in group case consultations. This intensive course of study is designed to provide knowledge of facilitating a sandtray therapy process, the neurobiology that supports working in the sandtray, learning through the embodiment of your own healing experiences, and an appreciation for how to support clients using the sandtray.

This training is capped at 12 participants and registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. A waiting list will be kept in the event of cancellations.
