Sandplay Therapy
A gentle and powerful pathway for inner discovery and healing
Sandplay Therapy
At Wayfinding Creative Therapy, the Sandplay approach offers a uniquely gentle yet powerful pathway for inner discovery and healing. In Sandplay, participants are invited to create scenes in a small tray of sand using miniature figurines. Because the process is non-verbal and symbolic, it allows deep emotional material to surface within a safe, contained space. As these inner worlds emerge in the sand, we can process difficult experiences, gain new perspectives and understanding, and begin to shape new directions.
It’s a form of creative cartography: orienting by what lies beneath and finding one’s own way with greater awareness and choice.
Participants typically move fluidly between Sandplay and artmaking, choosing the approach they are drawn to on any given day. Both modalities are available and equally valued, offering different yet complementary pathways for exploration and expression.
