I have been leading groups for many years.  When the session is over and all the members are gone, I sit in my cozy red chair and feel what is left in the room.  In the last few years I have included the use of a group sand tray process. Particularly when the group is transitioning into a deeper level of connection.The sandplay process has  its own magic, unearthing what has been unfolding, explicit and implicit, similar to a waking dream. This small rectangle box of crystaline sand with miniatures of mythic Gods and hobby horses, pistols and devils, wheelbarrows and babies, towers and stones, invites a narrative that demands no language, no overt knowns.  The tray holds the secrets at the same time it reveals them.  There is a sense of palpable relief as people become safer and safer with each other.
