2024 STA National Conference

Through Many, One: Diversity and Unity in Sandplay Therapy

This national conference brings focus to diversity and inclusion, and transcending division through Sandplay Therapy. Presentations will illustrate the clinical and symbolic process of people with diverse backgrounds and spiritual beliefs. We will also examine historical trauma through multiple lenses and discover how engaging with Dora Kalff’s method as a therapist or client can provide a platform for healing and transformation.

The archetype of the rainbow provides one pathway to unity and transcendence. The rainbow has become a symbol of inclusion and diversity; with its ephemeral grace and relationship to the natural elements, the rainbow also has a long history as a numinous archetype in many cultures. In ancient and modern times, the rainbow symbolizes hope, bridging from one place or state to another, and connection to the greater whole of psyche and cosmos. We welcome each participant to enter the realm of the rainbow as they associate their own symbolic understanding.
