The Practice of the Image: Alchemical Symbolism in Sandplay Therapy
Dates and Time: 9:00 – 3:00 on the second Saturdays from January to June, 2020 (Jan 11, Feb 8, Mar 14, Apr 11, May 9, Jun 13).
Presenter: Regina Driscoll, PhD, LP, CST-T
This course will focus on how alchemy illuminates the individuation process and how the Jungian archetypes are constellated in sandplay images. Our aim is to discern the parallels in the three realms of alchemy, archetype, and sandplay. In the first session, the instructor’s presentation will cover core alchemical concepts and how these manifest in psychotherapy and sandplay. We will use a clinical sandplay case to explore the concepts of the prima materia, calcinatio, solutio, coagulatio, sublimatio, mortificatio, separatio, coniunctio, and the nigredo-albedo-rubedo. Over the remaining sessions the seminar participants will work in small groups to explore these concepts in the sandplay images and will present their work to the group.
