About the Workshop
Children have always delighted in playing in the sand, bringing their inner and outer worlds together through imagination. Sand play is a method to help children express the "inexpressible." By adding miniatures to the shelves of the play room and having a sandbox you may start to play and understand the child's inner world. In this one day workshop participants will:
- Understand the philosophical roots of a mindful use of sand in play therapy.
- Begin practices to increase immediacy, authenticity, and the skill of clinical witnessing.
- Practice responding with increased respect, spontaneity, and connection to the client and the sand scene.
- Develop approaches to tap into one's creative energy, release diminishing stress, and nourish the creative self.
Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to:
- Define a mindful, centering practice for working in sand and play therapy.
- Explore ways to respond to the client, the sand scene, and oneself that will foster immediacy, spontaneity, authenticity, balance, and connection.
- Describe the way projection, interpretation, and judgment seep into play therapy and distort and limit work in the sand.
- Describe the value of the teacher‘s own sand scenes for more effective play and sand therapy.
