Module 1 covers the basic information you need to start using this form of therapy. In this course we discuss sandplay & sandtray therapy in general, by this I mean we do not focus specifically on adults or children. There will be examples about both but that will be the extent of the focus. However, the course encourage people to start their sandtray work with children and this will give them the understanding, experiential learning and confidence to move to the more complicated end of the sandplay continuum e.g., Kids---------------|---------------Adults, kids being the simpler end of the scale. Please Note: It is essential to complete Module I & II if you intend to work with children in a therapeutic way, as module I does not cover child specific approach and issues encountered in children’s sandtrays.

Days 1 & 2 cover the subjects listed below, day 3 is spent with a “Introduction to Voice dialogue” and how to use it in the sandtray. Day 4 is practising doing sandtrays and working with the trays that you have completed. This is where your personal work comes into the training.

Module 1 also gives people the opportunity to decide if they wish to continue with the training, sandtray therapy is not everyone’s cup of tea. Some find the process very energetic and rewarding, others find it confronting and challenging. More information
