Sandplay enhances our understanding of the psyche and facilitates healing at the deepest levels. As we observe the non-verbal and symbolic world of Sandplay unfold, we are able to view archetypal patterns that transcend language. This presentation will explore Blood Mysteries, that is, rites of passage through womanhood as examples of life transitions viewed in actual Sandplay case studies. Men and women alike will find resonance with the content to be found in the sand.
Harriet S. Friedman, MA, MFT, Jungian analyst, is a certified Sandplay therapist who has lectured internationally on integrating Sandplay and Jungian psychology. She is past president of the Board of Sandplay Therapists of America, faculty member of the Jung Institute of Los Angeles, and co-author of Sandplay: Past, Present and Future.

~ Marie-Louise von Franz
“The greatest use of active imagination is to put us… into harmony with the Tao, so that the right things may happen around us instead of the wrong.”
~ Barbara Hannah
