Embers Richard Wagamese writes, “Nothing ever grew from the outside in. Inner exploration will lead me to the highest version of myself. It is there to be found.” Carl Jung, the great psychologist, also asserted that all change and transformation takes place in the presence of symbol and metaphor. Bringing these two ideas together, through the simplicity and “Magik” of Sand Tray, you will explore the deeper levels of yourself, and your inner knowing, while experiencing the transformational power of the symbols and metaphors offered to you by the wisdom of your unconscious mind.  Intention, choice, and witness will craft a place where insight and healing arise from your deepest place of your knowing.
