Personal Development for Adults

Sandplay: An Opportunity to Nurture Your Self

Dates: 20th May - 10th June, 2010

 

 

Do you want to give more time to your own personal development? Do you want to do it in a creative, safe and empowering way? Ever wondered what Sandplay Therapy is or how it works? Well, wonder no more. This series of five workshops is for any adult wanting to discover the benefits of Sandplay Therapy. In these workshops you will be able to engage in the Sandplay process, discover your creativity, give your unconscious a place to express, and discover more about yourself – all within a small group of like-minded individuals.

Sandplay Therapy provides:

  • a means of self-discovery, healing and integration
  • a transformation or redirection of blocked energy
  • access to the childhood world of imagination and play, re-awakening our own creative nature
  • a means by which adults, unable to articulate their feelings and experiences, can find expression and integration
  • safe entry into the deeper archetypal, mythic and transpersonal realms of the psyche
  • an activation of our natural, self-healing capacity
  • an opportunity for a creative non-rational experience, as a balance to society's overemphasis on the ego's intellect

Sandplay Therapy was developed by Carl Jung and Dora Kalff from the original work of Margaret Lowenfeld. The process involves creating scenes in a tray of sand, using realistic miniatures chosen from the therapist's collection. These miniatures cover all areas of life such as people, plants, animals, houses, transportation, creepy crawlies, crystals etc. The sand may be moistened with water so that it can be moulded or shaped into whatever 'landscape' the individual wishes to create.

The use of sand and miniatures gives us a symbolic way of expressing our feelings and viewing our lives. Sandplay provides a fun, non-threatening approach to the unconscious, and a safe space in which to explore feelings and life situations that may feel overwhelming. The client may not have a particular focus in mind, however, playing with the sand, making a landscape, and adding symbols from the shelves, enables the psyche to find its own bearing, free of the ego's influence. Using the sandtray, we are able to externalize the inner world.

Soul Dance - Exploring the Five Threads of Intuitive Wisdom

Dates: January, 2009

Once we awaken our intuition and get in the habit of listening to and acting on it, every decision in our life becomes reflective of our inner truth. Organically, every person is intuitive, however the pressures of daily life and fixed identities can interfere with the natural self. Intuition has been described as a spiritual force that guides and moves us along our spiritual path. It is a language that we can learn to listen to – it speaks through its own unique, emotional language of our thoughts, and through the physical language of our body symptoms.

In this amazing series of five weekly workshops you will engage in gentle activities that allow you to ...

Offer your BODY to the realm of MYSTERY and receive the gift of INSTINCT

Offer your HEART to the realm of DARKNESS and receive the gift of INTIMACY

Offer your MIND to the realm of CHAOS and receive the gift of INTENTION

Offer your SOUL to the realm of UNITY and receive the gift of INTEGRITY

Offer your SPIRIT to the realm of DESTINY and receive the gift of INSPIRATION
