ConferenCe DesCription Connecting Body, Mind, and Spirit through Sandplay The secret is hidden not in the top, but in the roots of the tree... In psychological terms, this would mean that the self has its roots in the body ... C. G. Jung, CW 13,242 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 wish to explore sandplay as an embodied, symbolic approach to healing. Both Jung and Lowenfeld focused on the healing aspects of play. We know that Jung created structures on the shore of the 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, enriched by her personal connection with Tibetan and Zen Buddhism. Keynote and plenary sessions will focus on integration of the roots of sandplay with findings from neuroscience, a Jungian emphasis on psyche as embodied, and experiential approaches that complement the sandplay process. Workshop presentations will include Jungian topics, advances in neuroscience that elucidate what we see in the sandplay room, the therapeutic relationship, encounters with Self, the bridge between sandplay and play therapy, applications of spiritual traditions and mindfulness, and clinical presentations. There will be vendors onsite, as well as a silent auction and book sale on behalf of the Journal of Sandplay Therapy.
