STA CONFErENCE PrOGrAM<br />
Dance of Death in the service of Life<br />
Lynne Ehlers, PhD, ISST/CST-T (Albany & San Francisco, CA)<br />
Kali, the fierce Hindu warrior-goddess, is the<br />
dark and terrible death-mother, who destroys<br />
demons on the battlefield. These demons, both<br />
inner and outer, threaten the very matrix of life.<br />
As we experience the story and images of Kali,<br />
we come to realize that this goddess of death is,<br />
paradoxically, a servant of life who offers fierce<br />
protection when it is most needed in the therapy<br />
process. To the accompaniment of Indian music,<br />
participants will be invited to embody Kali in her<br />
dance. Finally, we will examine and discuss the<br />
sandplay of two women who engaged with Kali<br />
during the course of ultimately healing therapeutic<br />
processes.<br />

active imagination for sandplay therapists<br />
Mary Dougherty, MFA, ATr, JA (Chicago, IL)<br />
Active imagination is an imaginal method used within the play therapy process in which<br />
one intentionally engages images, figures, and emotions in order to establish a dialogue<br />
with the unconscious. It is an active attempt to come to terms with aspects of our selves<br />
beyond our conscious ego identity. The capacity for imaginal perception depends on the<br />
quality of attention and the willingness to participate with unconscious contents. We will<br />
explore the theoretical and experiential aspects of active imagination as it is used in sandplay<br />
and play therapy generally, in order to increase one’s capacity to recognize and to be<br />
in relationship to unconscious contents. Participants will make use of journal writing and<br />
image making exercises as the means through which to engage active imagination.<br />
