About Hawaii

Think big.  Hawai`i Island is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain, but it's remarkable for more than just its size.  Picture yourself visiting Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.......

We have the pleasure to invite you to the 24th Congress of the International Society for Sandplay Therapy (ISST).  The Congress will be held on the Big Island of Hawai`i, home to Kilauea Volcano.  Here, the cycle of destruction and creation is visible as fiery lava makes its way to the ocean creating new earth.

 The 24th Congress explores sandplay as a therapeutic process that allows primitive and archetypal life forms to come to the surface fertilizing and enriching new ways of being.  There will be seminars, case studies, and experiential workshops showing the cross-cultural applications of sandplay therapy.  We will feature speakers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Hawai`i, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Uruguay.  To enhance our international community and to improve our clinical abilities in sandplay we are planning many opportunities for discussion, networking, and play!  We hope you will join us!
