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

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: Progression Office, Season Commercial Building, 5/F, 3 Humphreys Ave., Tsim Sha Tsiu, Kowloon (TST Exit A2)
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.
