Level 1 – Basic Tools & Methods with Theresa Kestly: January 8-10, 2026

Online

This workshop introduces sandtray play therapy for treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Participants learn about the sandtray process through dialogic discussions and hands-on exercises with figurines and sandtrays. These exercises demonstrate how relational play can be a neural exercise to address stress in the nervous system that arises as a result of traumatic or problematic experiences. These exercises also show how sandtray play can help the nervous system become more flexible, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. Therapists will have opportunities to practice and refine their skills and to ask questions in an interactive small-group setting.
