Sandplay Therapists of America (STA) 2020 National Conference is
organized by Sandplay Therapists of America (STA) and will be held
from Jun 04 - 07, 2020 at Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach And Marina,
Redondo Beach, California, United States of America. Conference
Description: Sandplay Therapy is a non-verbal, expressive therapeutic
method developed by Dora M. Kalff, drawing upon the works of Swiss
psychiatrist C.G. Jung and the pioneering English pediatrician and
play therapist Margaret Lowenfeld. At this national conference, we
will explore the numinous and its healing qualities in the Sandplay
process. Both Jung and Lowenfeld focused on the healing aspects of
play. We know that Jung created structures on the shore of Lake Zurich
as a way of working out inner conflict. In London, Margaret Lowenfeld
observed the change that occurred in traumatized children as they
played and told their stories. Jung’s life work centered on images
of transformation in which “the psyche tells its own story.” Kalff
incorporated these ideas in developing her approach, focused on the
“free and protected space” within the therapeutic relationship,
enriched by her personal connection with Tibetan and Zen Buddhism.
Conference Objectives: • Describe how Kalffian Sandplay promotes
psychological healing and growth that takes into account the numinous
aspect of sandplay work. • Identify three clinical and play therapy
skills demonstrated in case presentations. • Identify three
practices which may support the numinous aspect of the clinical work
of Sandplay and Play Therapy. • Identify three contributions from
contemporary neuroscience and research in Sandplay and/or Play Therapy
relevant to the treatment of somatic and emotional disturbances. •
Analyze the numinous experience in Sandplay Therapy as it might relate
to the developmental and trauma history of the individual
patient/client. • Name three characteristics of what might be
considered a numen and what these may bring to healing. Note: • CE
