About this Course
This course begins at the roots of Sandplay with H.G. Wells’ book Floor Games, written in 1918, the inspiration for Margaret Lowenfeld’s World Technique, and later, Dora Kalff’s Jungian Sandplay Therapy. This course explores the essential role of play in therapeutic development and change, and the relationship between the creation of miniature worlds, the imagination and personal growth.
