Our World in Miniature: Sand Tray Skills for Professionals

Professional training with CE credits
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 29, 2020 in Lancaster, Pa.

Sand tray is often considered the psychotherapy for children -- almost a term that substitutes for “play therapy.” In fact, the use of a sand tray and miniatures offers an extremely useful way to work with teens, adults, couples and groups.
 
“Our World in Miniature: Sand Tray Skills for Professionals” will be presented from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, May 29, at Liberty Place, 313 W. Liberty St., Lancaster. Instructor will be Karen Carnabucci, LCSW, TEP, who has been working with, refining and integrating multiple sand tray techniques and styles since the 1990s.
 
In this professional training workshop, participants will become acquainted with the versatility of sand tray for a variety of settings and populations -- but especially focusing on adults -- as well as expand their skills by integrating complimentary creative arts therapies and other experiential methods in the sand tray process.
 
Sand tray is especially helpful in concretizing, clarifying and resolving the conflicting energies, motivations, values, and voices that often contribute to a sense of “stuckness” with our clients. Its in-hand availability easily engages people who may have difficulty in talking about their problems or life issues, and the images that are formed and re-formed are compatible with the latest research on neurobiology and how our brain and being accept new images into consciousness.
 
In this workshop, you will learn:


  • History and origins of sandplay and sand tray and how each is related but different.
  • What you will need to set up a sand tray, including classic sand tray supplies and alternatives for various settings.
  • Demonstrations of simple interventions.
  • How to introduce the sand tray process to the people you work with.
  • The use of the sand tray for self disclosure, identifying problems and problem solving.
  • Options for the use of the sand tray for explorations with other creative arts, particularly psychodrama and Family and Systemic Constellations.
  • Options for individuals, couples, families and groups.
 
There will be ample time for questions, discussion and case consultation, as well as the option to address personal issues in a confidential atmosphere.
 
Tuition is $95 if registered by May 22, 2020, $110 after. It includes six continuing education hours for social workers, marriage and family therapists and professional counselors, plus psychodrama hours, and handout, beverages and healthy snacks.
 
Who will benefit
 
Mental health professionals, marriage and family therapists, creative arts therapists, addiction counselors, physicians and other medical professionals, personal and executive coaches, educators, clergy, community and social activists, alternative health practitioners and others interested in experiential methods.
 
Participants will have the option to address personal issues in a supportive and confidential setting, as well as bring past or present client cases forward for supervision.
