A Distinctive Opportunity to Gain In-Person Sandtray Training in Barbados
This Level 1 Sandtray Training (toward Level 2 Certification) provides an immersive, hands-on learning experience in a thoughtfully facilitated professional setting. Dedicated sandtray trainings in this format are still limited in the region; early registration is recommended.

On completion, you will receive: Level 1 Sandtray Credential (toward Level 2 Certification)

Covering:
  • The core principles that make sandtray effective
  • How to facilitate a safe, simple sandtray session
  • A non-interpretive, client-centered approach
  • How to integrate sandtray into your current work ethically and appropriately

This is not theory alone—you will leave able to actually use it.

What Makes This Training Different

This is not a passive workshop. You will learn by doing from the very beginning. Across the day, you will:
  • Experience sandtray for yourself (not just observe it).
  • Practice facilitating in a guided, supportive environment.
  • Learn a clear structure you can repeat immediately.
  • Build real confidence through hands-on experience.
  • Leave with a useable, practical skill—not just information.

Who This Is For

This training is designed for people who regularly listen to, support, and guide others through personal challenges and life experiences:
  • Therapists and counselors
  • Coaches and mentors
  • Pastors and ministry leaders
  • Small group leaders
  • Educators and school support staff
  • Care leaders
  • Anyone supporting people through emotional or personal conversations

If people trust you with their stories, this will expand how you can meet them there.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the training, you will have:
  • A clear understanding of how sandtray works
  • A simple, highly effective, usable framework for facilitation
  • Hands-on experience guiding a session
  • A new way of helping people access deeper insight
  • Level 1 Sandtray Credential for Integrating Sandtray Sessions into Your Counseling, Coaching, and Mentoring Practice

And perhaps most importantly: a new sense of what’s possible in the conversations you already have every day.

What to Bring

  • You will receive an email guiding you with how to create a simple, affordable sandtray kit to bring with you. (You might be surprised to know how many of the needed items you already have around your house.) The appropriate type of sand will be provided for you.
  • We suggest bringing lunch with you rather than going out for lunch, as the lunch break will be 30 minutes.

Reserve Your Spot

This is an experiential training and spaces are intentionally limited, so it’s worth securing your place early. (Non-refundable within 30 days of workshop.)

Certification
​For those who have completed Level 1 Training and want to deepen their practice, demonstrate proficiency, and earn certification, Level 2 Certification offers the opportunity to move beyond foundational use into confident, consistent application. Level 2 Certification supports you in integrating sandtray more fully into your work. The certification process includes completing a set number of documented sessions, gathering client feedback, and submitting two recorded sessions for review. This next level focuses on strengthening your skill, refining your presence as a facilitator, and ensuring you can use sandtray with clarity, integrity, and effectiveness across a range of client experiences.
