Sandplay to Cultivate the Soul
What is the Jungian Sandplay method? In this presentation, Barbara Turner, the founder of the Association for Sandplay Therapy, will introduce you to Sandplay and its three roots – Lowenfeld’s World Technique, Jungian psychology & Eastern philosophy. You will learn how Sandplay works to move the psyche to overcome conflicts, trauma, and loss; and how it re-aligns the psyche to our wholeness - the Self, the soul.

Barbara Turner began her study of Jungian Sandplay therapy with the founder of the method, Dora M. Kalff, in Switzerland in 1988 and focused her doctoral studies on the Sandplay method.
Dr. Turner was instrumental in returning the classic books in Sandplay to print and is the author of The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy, now translated into Korean, Chinese, Russian and Italian.
Barbara Turner teaches Sandplay therapy to mental health clinicians internationally. She has co-authored with Dr. Kristín Unnsteinsdóttir, Sandplay and Storytelling, as well as Sandtray Play in Education. She is also the chief editor of The Routledge International Handbook of Sandplay Therapy.
Dr. Turner is the founder of the Association for Sandplay Therapy – AST, the international professional organization dedicated to maintaining the core principles of Sandplay in our work and teaching – clarity, loving-kindness & humility.
From my perspective, Dr. Turner is the foremost authority on Sandplay since Dora Kalff.

“…a dynamic, engaging teacher...”
Dr. Turner is a dynamic, engaging teacher who takes difficult Jungian Sandplay concepts and breaks them down for her students. She wants participants to really know and understand the process of Sandplay so they can provide the best temenos for clients. Dr. Turner presents webinars for us at Play Therapy Training Institute of Wyoming and has the highest return registration rate of any of our presenters; clearly, she is among the top Sandplay teachers domestically and internationally. Having worked with Dr. Turner as both a student and teaching colleague, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
