Heal the Healer

Sandtray Retreat & Training

This Heal the Healer wellness retreat will equip you to heal in mind-body-spirit as you gain sandtray experience towards being an Internationally Credentialed Sandtray Therapist (ICST).

As therapists and as healers, we strive to help others heal yet  find ourselves drained and even in burnout. Come away to rejuvenate and practice life-giving ways to heal and integrate therapy.

Do you ever feel lost in session?

Wonder if a map might help?

During the training, we'll create a map of how to use Sandtray Therapy to help your clients get unstuck!

You'll leave the retreat feeling confident that you have tools to use during sessions when you feel lost.

It’s hard to just say one thing as my favorite. But, if I had to use one word to describe it, I would say “tribe”. We were different people from all over but Beth created an atmosphere of acceptance, healing, and camaraderie, all while we were learning. When we left, many of us felt like we went from being disconnected to feeling we had a tribe.

My favorite things about the training were : 1) learning all of the neuroscience behind Sandtray Therapy, 2) doing our own trays to see how effective the process really is, 3) being trained in a small group (cohort). I am loving Sandtray Therapy!!!!
