The Minnesota Sandplay Therapy Group was formed in 1988 to provide education and training in sandplay therapy for mental health professionals.

Sandplay therapy is an expressive therapy based on the work of Carl Jung and developed by Dora Kalff. The client uses a sandtray, water, and hundreds of miniature objects to create scenes, designs, and pictures that reflect the conscious and unconscious contents of the psyche. Through the sandplay process and the relationship with the therapist, the client works through traumatic events and accesses the healing power of the Self.
