Deeply experiential and immersive, this special sandplay and clay therapy event offers play and creative arts therapists a unique opportunity to personally engage with these mediums. 

A journey of personal discoveries and professional insights, there is no better way to truly understand our clients’ process using sand and clay until we have experienced our own process first.

This immersive event is grounded in Jungian Sandplay Therapy and Gestalt Play Therapy theories.  It will explore symbolic representation of the psyche (our internal world) as it presents through sandplay and clay, with a dash of neuroscience thrown in!  

Therapist techniques for supporting clients’ processing along the Play Therapy Dimensions Model (PTDM) continuums of Consciousness and Directiveness will also be offered. 

This event is strictly limited to 20 participants to ensure a safe, intimate, and connected personal and professional experience.

Some pre-Immersive learning will be required prior to arriving in Hobart to maximise our live time together.

Pre-Immersive activities, 3.5 hours
Live Immersive, 20.5hrs
