"What happens within oneself when one integrates unconscious contents with the consciousness is something which can scarcely be described in words. It can only be experienced."

“Grounded in the body, sandplay unfolds through limbic region and cortex, and spans both hemispheres as the symbolic world unfolds into words.” 

(Badenoch, 2008)

Welcome to the "silent workshop of the psyche". (Bradway & McCord, 1997). 

Reflecting in the sand offers a gentle, non-directive and deeply connecting 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!

"metaphors provide a tool for the transfer of meaning from something that is known or recognised to something that is new or more challenging to articulate" 

(Hasbach, 2012)

Playing reflectively with symbols and metaphors invites and supports you to engage and integrate right and left hemispheres of the brain to discover deeply held aspects of 'Self' and practice, often including material held outside your conscious awareness. 

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. 

“Often it is necessary to clarify a vague content by giving it visible form...." 

(Jung, 1969)
