Grow Within, Thrive Together – Transform Your Practice
Beth, Bianca, and Nidhi came to sandtray therapy from different backgrounds but with a common goal: to heal the unspoken pains that traditional therapy couldn’t touch. Each carried the burden of their own struggles—hidden scars from past traumas and the yearning to mend the fractures in their familial relationships.
At a pivotal sandtray workshop, not only did they discover groundbreaking therapeutic techniques, but they also found each other. Bonding over the sandtrays that mirrored their broken parts and their hopes for wholeness, they formed a pact sealed by shared tears and laughter.
Sharing their vulnerabilities over the sand, they laughed, cried, and ultimately forged a bond that would become the foundation of Sandtray Superheroes. Now, they invite you to join this unique community, offering a space where you can heal, grow, and transform alongside fellow therapists who understand your journey.
Transformative Learning Experience
Our retreat is designed to nurture your professional and personal growth through:
Advanced Sandtray Techniques: Delve deep into the sands of therapy with hands-on training that will expand your skills and therapeutic approach.
Holistic Healing Practices: Engage in activities that align your mind, body, and spirit, from Tai Chi Easy under the oaks to mindfulness meditation by the lake.
Community Building: Connect with a network of therapists who are not just peers but potential lifelong friends and supporters.
Your Path to Becoming a Therapy Superhero Starts Today!
“Personally and professionally, I gained confidence in my skillset and my ability to process different things with clients. Now with sandtray, I feel much more confident in my ability and use it a lot with clients. I've been able to teach at a local University and taught Sandtray Therapy to some of our undergraduate students. I even put sand trays in my offices.”
Amy, owner of a group practice specializing in play therapy
