October 2017 Study Group: Closet/Wardrobe (Part II)

Posted on September 16, 2017 by
We have received overwhelmingly positive responses for our August Study Group about the symbol of “Closet/Wardrobe”.  Since we did not have enough time for presentation and discussion in August, we will have PART II of the Study Group in October.   We will continue to take a look at how the symbol of “Closet/Wardrobe” appears in the sandplay process and how it carries significance for the process.  If you have missed Part I of the Study Group, you are still welcome to join Part II.
 

Title: Closet/Wardrobe (Part II)
Date & Time: October 12 (Thursday) from 10am-12pm
Venue: Room 1207A, 12/F., David House, 8-20 Nanking Street, Jordan, Kowloon
(Next to Jordan MTR Station Exit B)
Presenter: Sally Chan

 
Closet/wardrobe is not only a repository for valuables but also useless stuffs. It is a metaphor for the space of mind. Symbolically it holds one’s memories/secrets, and also buries things from one’s life. It is commonly used as a symbol of a negative stifling attachment to privacy, especially since the late 1960s, it is a marker of shameful secrets about one’s sexuality. How the closet/wardrobe symbolizes in sand trays?  We are going to explore this symbol and will have sandplay case presentation to illustrate it.
The study group is opened to members of Hong Kong Sandplay Therapy Association.

October 2017 Study Group – Nature Play

Posted on September 5, 2017 by

Autumn is a good time for outing. In October, we will go out of the therapy room and hold the study group in Pui O (貝澳), one of the beautiful beaches in Lantau Island(大嶼山). Unlike the usual practice of the study group, we will not have any book or case study. Temporarily, we put our thinking aside and allow ourselves being carried by mother nature. We are going to have our own sandplay creation in an outdoor and natural setting. Encountering nature may allow us to reconnect with our inner nature.

Coordinator: Brenda Koo
Date:    October 2, 2017 (Monday, public holiday after the National Day)
Time:   9:00 am to around 1:00 pm (there is an option of staying to have lunch together and a swim in the afternoon)
Venue:  Pui O, Lantau Island (大嶼山貝澳)
(Will send you where to meet in the confirmation email)

The study group is opened to members of Hong Kong Sandplay Therapy Association. Please reply to this email if you plan to join this group on or before 25 September, 2017.

Sandplay Therapy Supervision Group

Posted on April 27, 2017 by

In sandplay therapy training, supervision group is more advanced as it requires the students to present their sandplay therapy case materials. In group, different responses from group members will be brought together to inquire into what is being presented. This may lead to significant insights and fruitful learning experience. In June, HKSTA will offer four supervision groups and it will be a closed group. Eight members of the group will have the opportunity to take up one and a half hours to present one case. In sandplay therapy training, one of the requirements to become a certified ISST sandplay therapist is supervision hours. Out of the minimum 80 hours of individual and group supervision with a Teaching Member, 50 hours of group supervision will be acceptable provided the student presents their own material on at least 10 occasions with the group supervision hours. This may be a good chance for you to present your case in a group.
