What to Bring

  • a favorite journal for experiential reflections
  • a notebook for didactic learning notes
  • pen from which your ideas flow
  • a sense of adventure

We have trays and miniatures for everyone. If you have favorite miniatures, you are welcome to bring them for your use.

This is a relaxed training environment, bring what you need to feel comfy. We have a regular participant that always brings slippers.

A note about cell phones: A main component of the sandtray process is the ability to be truly present; practicing this skill is a learning objective for all levels.  Please be prepared to put away your phone while we are engaged in the sessions in order to foster connection.
