Reconnecting with the Divine through Sandplay Therapy
This workshop traces the journey of a middle-aged gay-identified an with a diagnosis of schizophrenia as he reconnects with the Divine through sandplay therapy. His sandplay journey provides a framework to develop an understanding the principles underlying the practice of sandplay therapy and its potential use in the context of pastoral counseling.
Participants in this workshop will be able to
1. Identify the roots of sandplay therapy
2. Describe how sandplay therapy might assist a client in reconnecting with the Divine
3. Explain how sandplay therapy can be integrated in the provision of pastoral counseling
4. Describe the training that is necessary to become proficient in sandplay therapy
4. The degrees you have (like how you would place them after your name)
