Welcome to NCRSS 

The Northern California Regional Sandplay Society is a hub for our community of therapists practicing, learning and teaching sandplay in California. We welcome you to become involved. NCRSS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to practice of and education in sandplay therapy.

Sandplay Therapy is a nonverbal therapeutic process that facilitates expression and integration of the deep contents of the psyche. A person’s inner world is revealed symbolically while creating an image in the sand, within a container, using objects and miniature figures.

Become a new member or renew your Membership to NCRSS. Benefits of membership include reduced fees for courses, free Sandplay Salons and more.

NCRSS Training Program is in transition. During this time we will post opportunities for online Training with Sandplay Therapists of America, regional groups, and teaching members. Check the Events page for online member salons and meetings.

Looking for group or individual sandplay supervision and consultation? We’ve added an up to date listing by areas of Northern California on the About page.

The News Blog features ongoing communications and announcements from our board members.
