Sandplay

Active Sandplay is one of the most penetrating ways to clear deep blocks, be they personal or spiritual. In the sand the psyche states it as it is. Our truth, lying in the unconscious, speaks to us most clearly. The pieces we find and the way we place them in a tray of sand are symbolic of our lives and beliefs. Sandplay is the most crucial tool in bringing the structure of personality into greater clarity. It helps us to unravel the way our egos were formed and to access the more vulnerable levels that would normally spoil our relationships. We recommend sandplay for spiritual as well as personal work, for children and, in the most fruitful way, for healing rifts in relationship. Change is most rapid when we can commune directly with the unconscious.

Sandplay is the most profound tool for self-discovery. The pieces and the arrangement clearly show psychic complexities and connections which are normally unconscious. There is no other technique that can show us so much, so succinctly and yet unobtrusively.

We call this Active Sandplay because we support you to recognise and understand the messages from the unconscious. The many processing techniques that underlie this support are taught in the Facilitators Training. They bring understanding into the deepest core of body, mind and emotions. From this space profound and permanent healing is possible, even when caused by birth or separation from soul. When used in a gentle and playful way it is a most effective tool to help children, and to deal with the frustrations of relationship.

Benefit, outcome

Sandplay offered in private sessions at the CC or the CCS, and in workshops for personal development. On the personal level Sandplay offers the clearest display of whatever is happening in your life at the moment. It is a natural, positive and non-intrusive tool with children, yet extraordinarily healing. Sandplay bypasses language and gets directly to the issue.

We offer training in Sandplay as part of the Diploma Course. To provide the necessary skills for professional competence in the application of Sandplay Therapy with adults and children, singly and in relationship. You will be able to incorporate Sandplay into your own practice. On completion you will receive a Certificate for the Training Program from The Crucible Centre.

Over 100 people have completed this training with us and many are using Sandplay with adults and children. You will start your own sandplay collection and will complete at least four sessions with one client between each of the segments of the course, and present the results to the group for discussion. You will be presented with a certificate on completion of this course.

A major aim of the Training is to help clarify personal issues, for little can be achieved if your sorrow and anger gets triggered by theirs.

What do people say

"I have gain an enormous amount from the course, which has been an amazing experience, one which I am grateful to you both. " M A

"Personally I gained a great deal from the workshops. The very nature of the work cannot avoid the personal impact of the work and is validation of the expertise, trust and philosophy of the Crucible Centre and both of you. It has been good to learn more of the underpinning philosophy that informs the teaching of the centre."AL

"I wanted to give myself a chance to come down from the "high" of the weekend, before I thanked you. What an extraordinary experience I’ve had. As I said, I had no idea that the processing would be so powerful for me (and for the group). All credit to your masterful facilitation and to the sandplay medium. I sense that I made some major shifts – "come home" as Margaret puts it. The sense of being so present with myself and my surroundings is still with me. What a blessing! " CB

"Please accept my warmest thanks and appreciation for opening the door to some amazing and important new directions that I know I must now pursue. As usual my "angels" have provided - with perfect timing – the perfect guides for the next part of my journey. Truly exciting!!"CS

 

"Thank you Hilary and John, Marg and Michael for the way you allow such grace to flow through you to us. I honour each of you individually for your unique contribution to this vibrant Centre of healing and learning. As a team you are a powerhouse, a light for our souls, a river flowing bringing freshness and vitality, a gardener turning the clods of dirt into fertile soil. " MT
