Two Groups and Five Workshops

Group Process

Group process for therapists who use sand is vital to nourish the creative self, increase skills to understand the depths and complexity of sand scenes, and rejuvenate one’s soul for meaningful work with clients. A support group with the same peers each month helps further a sense of safety and cohesion for more advanced work. Dr. Preston-Dillon is a specialist in group process and sand therapy. She has been facilitating groups since the early 1970s and teaches group psychotherapy at the master’s, doctoral level, and post graduate level.

Both groups with provide work in supervision, case work, personal sand trays, and new ideas for the use of sand with clients.
