What is SandStory® Therapy?

​

Sometimes it's hard to put how we are feeling or what we're going through into words.

​

SandStory® Therapy offers another way to express and explore your experiences.

Working with soft sand and a collection of miniature figures can provide a gentle, creative space where you don't have to find the “right” words.

​

You might choose people, animals, buildings, natural objects or other figures that feel meaningful to you, and place them in the sand to create a picture or story.

​

There is no right or wrong way to create your SandStory. You don't need to be artistic, and you don't need to know beforehand what you are going to make.

​

You can take your time and allow yourself to be curious about what feels right for you.

​

Sometimes seeing something represented outside of ourselves can offer a different perspective. It may help you notice thoughts, feelings, relationships or experiences in a new way, or begin to make sense of something that has been difficult to put into words.
