Sand Tray Play, with its roots in the Lowenfeld World Technique and in the Jungian school of practice, is an effective intervention tool for children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings. Sand Tray Play utilizes a wide range of miniature figurines with which clients "build a world" in a tray of sand. With the support and witness of the sand tray therapist, this story telling through images promotes awareness, expression, and healing experience on a variety of levels. Specialized training is essential for effectively understanding and using Sand Tray Play as a therapeutic tool. The Center for Sand Tray Play is dedicated to providing "a free and protected space" for mental health professionals and spiritual directors who want to learn, use, and practice this powerful modality.
