LEvELS: ALL 3 HOUrS CE Playing in the Dark: Humanizing the Dark Goddess Tessamarie Capitolo, MFT, ISST/CST-T (San rafael, CA) The Dark Goddesses as icons have been worshiped by ordinary folks for centuries. As archetypal images in sandplay, she stands for our earthly bodies and human relationships. Later she may be transformed into consciously felt embodied dark feelings. This presentation will include images of the pantheon of dark goddesses, their stories and their psychological meanings. Several sandplay therapy cases in which dark goddesses are significant will be shown. The meaning of these figures within the context of the trays will be interpreted and discussed. Participants will be invited to create their individual dark goddess figures out of clay. LEvELS: ALL 3 HOUrS CE wise body: understanding somatic Memory in sandplay Linda Elaine Bath, MS, PhD, MFT, ISST/CST-T (vacaville, CA) The Wise Body holds the memory of wholeness that becomes dismembered through traumatic experiences. As somatic beings we carry knowledge of our mind, body and spiritual wholeness at a cellular somatic memory level. When time is taken to attend and be guided by somatic experiences, healing can be remembered and accessed. Case presentation, breath, movement and imaginative play therapy techniques will be used to strengthen awareness of body states. Participants are asked to bring a personal figure to be used as a healing anchor from which they will be asked to monitor and gauge somatic memory as it is evoked, integrated and accessed. Somatic awareness will be approached and encouraged as a way to awaken the inner healer which guides right action in the play therapy process. LEvEL: ALL 3 HOUrS CE, APT CrEDIT APPrOvED
June 4 afternoon STA CONFErENCE PrOGrAM 1.5 Hour worksHops 1:30-3:00 anD 3:15-4:45 1:30 - 3:00 worksHops/ presentations Creating inner Harmony in the Midst of emotional tempests: the Cadence of intentional practice roz Heiko, PhD, ISST/CST-T (Cary, NC) and Shannon K. Yockey, LCSW, CST (Ft. Collins, CO) Attuned sandplay and play therapists enhance the rhythm of creating sand scenes, engaging in symbolic play and gaining deeper insights by deliberately and respectfully inviting client participation in mindfulness practice within current affective neurobiological and selfregulation frameworks. Utilizing Buddhist, Jewish, and Christian meditational traditions, we explore targeted therapeutic interventions that can be utilized in a play or sandplay therapy session with traumatized children using mindfulness, guided visualization, and EMDR techniques. Didactic presentation of mindful practices through three traditions will be enhanced by experiential play therapy exercises. Poetry, storytelling, guided imagery, simple movement, music, and spiritual meditation will offer workshop participants powerful means to incorporate these forms of mindfulness in everyday personal and clinical practice. LEvEL: ALL 1.5 HOUrS CE, APT APPrOvED wedding sandplay and Vocal psychotherapies: a new synergy Sana Loue, PhD, MPH, MA, LISW, ISST/CST (Cleveland, OH). Sponsor: Jill Kaplan, MFT, ISST/CST-T (San Jose, CA) This session will explore the theoretical foundations of vocal psychotherapy and explain how it can be utilized to augment sandplay therapy. Because vocal psychotherapy techniques require the use of the body, participants will learn how the use of sandplay and vocal psychotherapies together can enhance the connection between body, mind and spirit. The session will include discussion of a case, including photos of sandtrays and recordings from those sessions in which vocal psychotherapy techniques were also utilized. Participants will have the opportunity to practice one of the techniques utilized in vocal psychotherapy.
