About Us

Our Mission

VQI is a mission driven partnership that seeks to Provide healing images and Sandtray WorldplayTM resources for people to use; Interweave the work and spirit of diverse people across the world; and Partner with those people to serve the global community.

In our efforts to interweave Work and Spirit we seek to connect the work of artisans with that of play therapists and world builders, and educate people about the interconnection between all people in all lands.

In our work to be of service to the Global Community, we promote culture of giving and well-being, support holistic educational programs that seek to cultivate and develop the heart, mind, voice, soul, spirit, culture, health of the educator and educated, equitably distribute material resources, tools, money, and methods among artisan communities, and circulate and recirculate generative ideas among those diverse people connected with VQI.
