I recently took a four day Sand Tray course. It was hands down one of my favourite things to do within an art therapy session. I haven't had the opportunity to work with a client using it yet, but really enjoyed my time with one. It may look like child's play, but sand tray brings new meaning to the therapeutic process. It allows the client to dig into the past, build onto the future and work with the present. While dry sand feels more meditative and soft, wet sand allows the strength to build and to dig into the nitty-gritty. I will defiantly be using this tool in my future career!
