Oftentimes words are not enough. Sand tray therapy is “an expressive and projective mode of psychotherapy in which the client, in the presence of a trained sand tray therapist, creates a world in the sand drawing from an extensive collection of miniatures.” Building worlds in the sand activates the right brain, nonverbal way of thinking. For both adults and children, new material is often brought into conscious awareness. Gifts from the sand tray world connect profoundly with insights and changes needed in our waking life.
