Dear creatives,

Earlier this year, we offered Sand, Soul & Metaphor: An Intermodal Expressive Arts Journey as an in-person training—and it was such a beautiful, soul-nourishing experience.

Many of you reached out saying you wished you could have joined us but couldn’t make the trip… so we listened.

This August, we're offering Sand, Soul & Metaphor as a live ONLINE training for the very first time, so that more of you can join us from wherever you are.

We’ve reimagined this immersive journey so that you can experience the healing power of expressive arts, sand therapy, and intermodal practice—wherever you are.

Together with our dear colleague Eliana Gil, we’ll guide you through two days of deep creative process and professional learning that’s also nourishing to the soul.

You’ll begin with a sand tray, then move into a carefully woven sequence of expressive arts modalities—writing, movement, sound, nature-based work, visual art, and guided meditation—designed to support both your personal growth and your clinical work.

If you’ve been craving time to reconnect with your creative self, deepen your understanding of how these practices intersect, or simply feel inspired in your work again—we’d love to have you with us.

• How to define intermodal expressive arts therapy as a unique professional model
• Two characteristics of intermodal work that can integrate well with play therapy and other therapy models
• Two ways that play therapists, LMHC’s, LCSW’s, LMFT’s can invite clients into expressive arts
• Two benefits gleaned when play therapists and other therapists encourage clients to use writing, from the voice of the image itself
• Two implementation strategies for introducing or utilizing expressive arts in therapy
• Two similarities and/or differences between interpreting and witnessing the work of therapy clients
• The benefits and possibilities of identifying and following the intermodal thread of creativity, as it expands possibilities in meeting client’s treatment goals

We’re looking forward to co-creating this sacred, playful, meaningful space with you.

Warmly,
Kathleen & Tamara
