About Our Courses
We offer Jungian sandplay therapy courses for mental health care professionals. Our courses are intended for post-doctoral studies in Jungian sandplay, licensed clinicians and graduate students training in sandplay and play therapy.
Our Foundational and Introductory classes, Levels 100 & 200, are designed for clinicians with general interest in sandplay and play therapy. Our Intermediate training programs are intended for clinicians with serious interest in sandplay training.
All course instruction is conducted in an online-distance learning format. Each course is taken at the Participant’s convenience with no time limit. You may enroll for courses at any time.
Our Integrative Sandplay Seminars are conducted both online and in face-to-face settings. The Seminars use participants’ own case material as the foundation for continued study of sandplay. The Seminars are intended for post-graduate clinicians currently using the Jungian sandplay method in the therapeutic setting. To participate in the Seminars, clinicians must have a working knowledge of Foundational and Introductory course work in sandplay. Seminars are intended for psychologists and post-graduate mental health clinicians.
Taking the courses requires high speed internet access and the required books. Readings draw from the classic literature in Jungian sandplay and The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy available from Temenos Press.
Our books and courses are now included in the curriculum of The Academy of Play and Child Psychotherapy - APAC & Play Therapy United Kingdom - PTUK Play & Creative Arts Therapies Training Programmes - the United Kingdom's largest and most experienced dedicated play and creative arts therapies training organization.

About the Facilitator
The Temenos Press Learning Center is pleased to sponsor
sandplay programs facilitated by Barbara A. Turner, PhD,
RPT-S. Dr. Turner draws from a rich experience in the online
learning environment. Completing the PhD at the California
Institute of Integral Studies in 1998, she is among the
first known recipients of an online doctoral
degree. Dr. Turner studied what is known as
Transformative Learning, the development of educational
and learning environments, which are designed to effect
deep-order transformation in participants. Dr. Turner worked
entirely online in the program, using Jungian sandplay
therapy as the focus of transformation in psychotherapeutic
and social settings. Now in the Temenos Press Learning
Center, Dr. Turner brings this journey of transformative
learning full circle, in the creation of our online studies
in Jungian sandplay therapy.
Barbara A. Turner, PhD, is certified by the International Society for Sandplay Therapy and the Sandplay Therapists of America as a Sandplay Therapist and Teacher. She is a Registered Play Therapist - Supervisor with the Association for Play Therapy. She holds the Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies, the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, and the PhD in Integral Studies - Transformative Learning with a focus in sandplay therapy.
Dr. Turner began her studies in sandplay with Dora Kalff in Switzerland. She is a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California, with over twenty years of clinical experience. Dr. Turner has contributed chapters to a number of play therapy books. She is the author of The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy, and the editor of the Sandplay Classics Series, Dora Kalff's Sandplay, Estelle Weinrib's Images of the Self, and H.G.

Planning Your Study
For General Interest and Foundational Material in Jungian
Sandplay
We recommend our
Level 100 & 200 Courses.
Level 100-200 Courses are self-paced, read and test classes that include the history and development of the Jungian sandplay therapy method, the fundamentals of sandplay process and procedures, and the essential role of play in Dora Kalff’s sandplay method. These courses provide the clinician with an informed understanding of what Jungian sandplay therapy is, where it is appropriate in the clinical setting, and how it differs from other methods of work in the sand tray.
The Level 100-200 Courses form the foundation for training to practice Jungian sandplay therapy. In addition, these courses provide practitioners of other psychotherapeutic methodologies a working understanding of Jungian sandplay therapy and will assist in referral and staffing processes.
Training to Practice Jungian Sandplay
Training to practice Jungian sandplay therapy is a serious commitment that entails a number of considerations. We recommend the following general guidelines:
- Take the Level 100 & 200 Courses
- Do your own sandplay process with a Certified Sandplay Therapist
The personal sandplay process is an integral part of Jungian sandplay training. Because Jungian sandplay therapy works at the deepest levels of psychic functioning, it cannot be learned from the head down. Rather, it can only be understood from the INSIDE-OUT.
Doing your own sandplay work is essential to this process.
- Then, proceed to our Level 300+ courses for Intermediate and Advanced instruction
Level 300+ Courses draw from The Handbook of Sandplay Therapy and supplementary materials, as well as extensive sandplay case material. They probe progressively deeper in to Jungian theory and its application to sandplay therapy, how the psyche develops and changes, and how symbols function to move and transform the psyche. These courses explore subjects such as the archetypal underpinnings of sandplay process, the interactive “field” of sandplay client, therapist and sand tray, as well as the practical aspects of sandplay practice.
Level 300+ Courses emphasize the application of a growing knowledge of Jungian sandplay to understanding sandplay case material.

Integrative Sandplay Seminars - Case Consultation
Once you begin practicing sandplay, you will also need to
do on-going consultation with a Certified Sandplay
Therapist, either individually, or in a group seminar
setting. Case Consultation is a critical component of
holding, or containing the sandplay work.
The Temenos Press® Learning Center hosts case consultation in our Integrative Sandplay Seminar programs.
- About Online Case Consultation
- Integrative Sandplay Seminars – Learning Objectives & Goals
- How It Works
- Individual Consultation & Intermediate Sandplay Seminar Groups
Through our secure online Learning Center, Barbara A. Turner provides confidential sandplay consultation in both seminar groups and individual settings. This consultation qualifies for Association for Play Therapy and Sandplay Therapist of America training/consultation hours.
How Online Consultation & Seminars WorkDoing online consultation is not difficult – It’s fun, and is a rich, valuable experience. Here’s how it works:
- Register for Integrative Sandplay Seminar Group or Individual Consultation – Details below
- Once registered, you receive an access code for the “location” of your consultation room in our Temenos Press® Learning Center. These are secure locations, available only to registered members.
- Case presenters email Dr. Turner their sandplay images in digital (.jpg) format, via email.
Three ways to obtain digital pictures:
- Take your sandplay photos with a digital camera,
- Scan your slides and save as .jpg files, or
- Have a photo shop convert them for you and put on a disc.
- Barbara Turner uploads images for viewing in our classroom, and determines the rate of our progression from tray to tray, based on readiness. Group and individual case discussions are posted asynchronously. This means that participants are not all on line at the same time. Rather, each member “goes” to consultation when he or she is able. In this way we are able to join with sandplay therapists from around the world to share and learn.
- Seminar groups consist of a maximum of six (6) participants, but may begin working when we have three members.
- To maintain group integrity and respect for the work, members must commit to the seminar for one year (9 sessions) Seminar group members are expected to pay for their group meetings, whether they are able to attend, or not.
- Seminar group membership is made through application to Barbara Turner. See below
- Seminar meetings are for a total 3 “hours” per month, and are conducted over the course of a specific week. (For example, your group may “meet” during the first week of each month.) Our The Temenos Press Learning Center site maintains an automated log that tracks all of our activity. This helps determine how many hours the group has worked.
- Group members take turns presenting their case material, following a scheduled rotation.
- We “discuss” the case material by typing and posting our thoughts, feelings and comments in our secure, private consultation area.
- Barbara A. Turner, PhD, directs the discussion, keeping it on track, teaching, commenting, and giving her reflections on the case material, the process, etc. Dr. Turner interacts actively with participants and their case work, teaching directly from the participants’ own sandplay case material. Dr. Turner structures both individual and seminar group inquiries to appropriately challenge participants and to facilitate the continued professionalism in sandplay therapy. The free and open exchange of ideas is an integral part of case consultation study.
- The case presenter interacts with the group discussion, reflecting on applicability of participant reflections to the work being discussed, questions, realizations, reflections, and so on.

To apply for sandplay group consultation, please send Dr. Turner an email, introducing yourself and telling a little bit about your background and experience in sandplay. Email Barbara A. Turner, PhD: publisher@temenospress.com
- Individual consultation is measured in “hours.” These are blocks of work that approximate 1 hour of face-to-face time. You may register for any number of hours.
- Individual consultation is a highly interactive discussion between the case presenter and the consultant.

Individual consultation fees are $125.00 US Dollars/50-minute hour.
