Jungian sandplay therapy is a non-verbal therapeutic process originated by Dora Kalff based on the psychology of C. G. Jung.
This comprehensive, two-year training curriculum is organized into six areas of study that are designed to sequentially deepen the participant’s understanding and use of Jungian sandplay. Each unit contains three 6-hour seminars exclusively taught by Jungian analysts (IAAP) who are also certified sandplay therapist-teachers (ISST).
The curriculum includes an introduction, history, and practical guidelines for sandplay therapy, as well as the application of Jungian theory, the study of archetypal and symbolic material amplified in dreams, mythology, and fairytales. This hands-on method of experiencing the Self follows the movement of libido as it appears in sandplay scenes to express the individuation process. Seminars incorporate case material of children and adults to illustrate and embody the theoretical underpinnings.
Seminars will be on Zoom only, once a month on a Saturday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm (Pacific Time) with half-hour break for lunch. Units 2-6 are offered to licensed clinicians and students in the process of training for licensure in the mental health professions.
