SandPlay and Symbols
Uses small objects such as animals, people, houses, monsters, mythical figures, treasures, frightening and
beautiful objects to create
scenes and stories in a sand tray.

SandTray creations reflect aspects of your life, but because the action takes place in the safety of the sand tray,  it is a non-threatening way to work through conflicts.

SandPlay and Symbols
offers an easy way to access the inner world
for both adults and children.

Adults  create scenes which often
unconsciously reveal  their concerns.

New perspectives discovered in the sandtray
become the basis for positive life changes.

Children create stories
and act them out in the sand.
Figurines have adventures, battles are fought, and treasures  buried and found.

While having fun playing in the sand, problems in life are relived and resolved and new positive endings are created.
