Sandplay & Creative Therapies Weekend

Sandplay is a powerful way to access the unconscious mind and can be used to facilitate healing and personal growth. Through a series of sandplay images, you'll see how the conscious and unconscious mind interact with each other, and how this process can activate a healing response. This workshop is an excellent way to learn more about sandplay and how it can be used in your own practice. Sandplay is a form of therapy that uses sand and miniature figures to help people explore their inner thoughts and feelings. It is a non-verbal form of communication that can be used with people of all ages, from young children to adults. This workshop will give you an overview of how sandplay therapy works and how it can be used to promote healing and personal growth. Moira will demonstrate how the sandtray can be used to facilitate a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche. Appropriate for counsellors working with any age. Experience the benefit of sandplay both in your personal life and your work with clients.

Creative therapies help clients discover a form of expression beyond words or traditional talking therapy. This workshop is designed for counsellors and therapists who have experience of working with children and teenagers, but who are new to creative techniques or are looking to develop their own skills and creative toolkit. It is important for any therapist to experience how powerful a creative technique can be for themselves, before introducing it to a client. This workshop will demonstrate the contribution creativity can make to positive mental health and wellbeing for young people. By tapping into their imagination through art and creativity, the effects of traumatic memories and negative circumstances that affect the body, feelings and thoughts can be examined. Appropriate for counsellors working with any age. Experience the benefit of sandplay both in your personal life and your work with clients.
