This workshop is a continuation of the beginning expressive sandtray workshop. Through experiential exercises and demonstrations the participants will learn how to deepen the journey of the play experience. Observation skills will be enhanced while helping the participant to use all of their senses and abilities.

Additional expressive modalities will be used and participants will be shown how to deepen the therapeutic experience. The Beginning Expressive Sandtray Therapy workshop is a required prerequisite for this course.

This workshop will introduce you to expressive play therapy. While talk is the traditional method in therapy, expressive play therapy utilizes all the possible expressive capacities that a client may have, thereby utilizing all of their capabilities in the healing process. The workshop is experiential in nature and will allow each participant to have the opportunity to experience a variety of therapeutic interventions that will include using art, music, writing, puppets, drama, and movement. Come and learn how the expressive arts and the creative process help in the healing process. No prerequisites are required.

In this workshop, participants will learn the method of sandtray therapy through demonstrations and the opportunity to personally experience 2-4 sandtrays daily. Through the use of sand, water, and miniatures, you will learn how the unconscious manifests itself and how to bridge the play into conscious awareness. You will also learn how to witness and honor the creative play process. You will personally experience a variety of expressive play therapy modalities and learn how to integrate them into a sandtray session. No prerequisites are required.
