May 15: Myth, Archetype and Me: An Introduction into the Healing Power of Story in Sandplay Therapy
- Why study myth? For several hundred thousand years human beings have shared stories to transmit knowledge, preserve culture, and to draw meaning from their life experiences. In the sensory-rich, relational, and symbolic world of sandplay therapy, people naturally tap into stories from the deepest level of the psyche. This workshop will explore how myths and other cultural stories activate archetypes and healing energies that bring forth change in the context of sandplay therapy. Through lecture, experiential learning, and one’s own creative process, participants will have the opportunity to encounter these archetypal energies and explore ways to carry the experience forward in their personal life and clinical practice.
June 26: Sandplay, Trauma and the Brain
- Description: This seminar and case study will explore how sandplay therapy heals trauma from a neuropsychological perspective. Participants will review four aspects of sandplay that promote neural integration and assess how these dynamics in a case study involving a teenager with traumatic grief.
