Study Group 📖| October

一切從「沙」開始｜𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝…

「考牌 (Certification) 是不是真的很難？」
「學派選擇這麼多，為什麼偏偏選沙遊？」
「過程中有沒有想過放棄？」
「Symbol paper 很難寫嗎？當初又是如何尋找到屬於自己的 Symbol？」

你心中也曾有過這樣的疑問嗎？

過往的 Study Group，我們常專注於理論知識與個案分享。這次，不如換個全新視角——回歸到「人」本身。今次的 Study Group 我們非常榮幸邀請到三位本地 Sandplay Therapist & Teaching Member： Chris Cheung, May Liu 及 Sally Chan 進行訪談，帶大家窺探作為一名沙遊者一路走來的高低起伏與心路轉折。無論你是經驗豐富的同行者、剛踏出第一步的新手，或是對沙遊抱持好奇的新朋友，都歡迎你參加！活動更設有 Q&A 環節，歡迎大家提出任何問題！我們將以不記名方式在 Study Group 中提出並一起探討交流。

“Is getting certified actually that hard?”
“With so many therapeutic approaches out there, why Sandplay?”
“Did you ever feel like giving up along the way?”
“Is the symbol paper really a nightmare to write?”

Have you ever found yourself asking these exact questions?

Instead of focusing only on theory and case studies, let’s flip the perspective and bring it back to the core—the people. We are honored to invite three local Sandplay Therapists & Teaching Member: Chris Cheung, May Liu and Sally Chan to be our interviewees. Through a cozy, interview-style sharing, they'll take us behind the scenes of Sandplay therapy—giving us a glimpse into the highs, lows, and pivotal moments of becoming a practitioner. The session includes an interactive Q&A. We will address them anonymously during the session!

是次活動將以廣東話進行｜This event will be conducted in Cantonese.

📅 日期 Date： 1/11/2026 (Sun)
⏰ 時間 Time： 7:30 - 8:45 pm
💻 形式 Mode： Zoom (Online)
💰 費用 Fee： HKSTA 會員免費｜非會員 $50

Dear All,

We are thrilled to announce our upcoming HKSTA Study Group this September.

Sandplay for Children with Autism: From Trauma to Healing

Trauma can be unspeakable—especially for children with autism who may process and communicate experience differently. Sandplay offers a different kind of listening: patient, visual, and deeply respectful of each child's unique language.

In this study group, Sun will share with us a case and from his case we will discover how the sandtray becomes a safe harbour—a place where children can show, rather than tell, what lies beneath the surface. Through sand and miniature figures, they can externalise what is hard to hold, explore feelings that have no words, and begin to reframe their stories on their own terms.

Together, we will learn to look past behaviour, to witness symbolic expression, and to companion children along a path from overwhelm to safety, from isolation to connection, and from hurt toward wholeness.

Our presenter is Mr. P**n Yat Sun, a counsellor and play therapist who has over 15 years of experience supporting children, young people and families with mental health challenges.

Event Details:
Date: September 29, 2026 (Tuesday)
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Mode: Online via Zoom
Presenter: Mr. P**n Yat Sun, Counsellor, Play Therapist (Ex HKSTA EXCO member)
Fee: Free for HKSTA members | $100 for non-members

Registration: https://forms.gle/AoVrJhHLYwse8kJq8
Registration deadline: September 22, 2026

🌟May Liu, our new ISST certified sandplay therapist

Dear HKSTA members,
We congratulate Ms. May Liu Yun Fung on becoming the eighth locally trained ISST Certified Sandplay Therapist in Hong Kong.

May is a Registered Social Worker at the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong and holds a Master's degree in Counseling. She is also a US Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and a Hong Kong Registered EMDR Therapist. Her clinical approach integrates structural therapeutic work with the symbolic healing of the unconscious. During her certification process, she was supervised and advised by Ms. Lenore Steinhardt.

May is an active member of HKSTA, dedicating her time to promoting sandplay therapy and supporting professional growth within the community. She has served on the Executive Committee for twelve years (2014–2026).

May has also contributed to the field's literature based on Jungian and Kalffian traditions. She authored her first symbol paper on the Greek Goddess, Artemis, and published a second symbol paper, "The birdcage in sandplay therapy: From confinement to freedom," in the Journal of Sandplay Therapy, Vol. 34, No. 2 (2025). Her final case study for certification, titled "Sandplay and the Alchemical Odyssey: A Ten-Year Passage from Matriarchal Containment to the Sovereign Masculine," documents a 10-year clinical process.

We are proud to celebrate this milestone with her. HKSTA supports members who are working toward certification and will continue to offer programs to facilitate this process.

Best regards,
Hong Kong Sandplay Therapy Association (HKSTA)

Study Group 📖| August
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝟗-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦

Selective mutism is often understood as a behavioural anxiety disorder, yet Jungian sandplay therapy offers a deeper symbolic lens: silence may function as a protective defence for a vulnerable psyche and as an expression of developmental arrest or disconnection between the conscious ego and the unconscious.

Sandplay provides a non-verbal medium through which the muted voice can emerge through images, symbols, and archetypal patterns rather than direct speech. In the sand tray, figures may embody archetypal imagery that gives form to what cannot yet be articulated, while the tray itself becomes a symbolic stage where inner conflicts can be safely dramatized.

In this study group, the presenter will use case material from a 9-year-old boy with selective mutism to explore how sand tray images “speak,” how symbolic representations unfold across the sandplay journey, and what clinicians can observe when verbal expression is limited.
