Welcome to the "silent workshop of the psyche". (Bradway & McCord, 1997).
Sandplay offers a gentle, non-directive and deeply connecting reflective supervision activity for practitioners of diverse disciplines, approaches and experience. Through symbol and metaphor, freely explore your inner and outer worlds; discover new insights; and make meanings in the safe, nonjudgmental container of the sand tray. Sandplay experience is not necessary, just bring your curiosity. And enjoy the process!

Empower neural activation, bidirectional ('bottom up' and 'top down') mind/body interactions and internal relational connection. An organically expressive approach to reflecting, growing and savouring.
