Classroom Training Workshop for 5 day Practical
– students gain skills and knowledge in applications in the diverse ways of using the sand through role plays and group discussions in practical application and case studies.
Guided Learning
– Trainer communication is via our online student portal. Students can also contact the trainer for a one on one session and students are able to access the weekly tutorials online.

Please note *you cannot learn sandtray therapy online only, you need to experience the role of the therapist in a group setting with an experienced sandtray therapist/trainer. This process is transpersonal and will bring up unresolved issues held in your deep unconscious. Therefore as a trauma-informed training program the intensive face to face classroom training supports you through your own personal process. Please be aware that if you have unresolved emotional issues the sand will reveal. You are encouraged to see a Sandtray Therapist before you begin your training, this will be in your own best personal wellbeing interest and allow you to better cope with your own unresolved issues that come up in the sandtray therapy process.
