SANDTRAY THERAPY

Sandtray therapy is a powerful therapeutic process where miniature objects, sand and water are used within a tray to create patterns and worlds. Sandtray therapy can be used like a “Vision Quest” for individuals wanting transformative personal growth. It is a potent ritual that harnesses the imagination for healing and problem solving through symbolic play. The act of creating a world in sand is a symbolic representation of a person's reality. Through experiencing the creation and then bearing witness with what is created, people gain perspective and are empowered with new possibilities. It can also assist individuals to transform their non-generative patterns and past traumas.

Sandtray therapy is a freeing creative process that is a kin to the sand painting ceremonies of the Navaho and Tibetans. Sand tray offers people direct access to their deepest consciousness so they may align themselves with the innate wisdom of their own psyche.
