Introductory ST-WPTM Training

In
this introduction to Sandtray-Worldplay, we explore the healing power of human consciousness, and how it manifests in
sandplay. Orientation to the Sandtray-Worldplay environment,
method and diverse application is followed by a demonstration and an opportunity to
experience the empowerment offered by play with sand, water and images. This workshop
can prepare you for the ongoing monthly Sandtray-Worldplay journey consultation
group. If undecided about starting Level One Sandtray-Worldplay, this workshop
gives you an excellent basis for making an informed decision.
