THE PRIESTESS

👋🏼A Day with your Priestess Archetype

The Priestess archetype holds themes of intuition, inner listening, liminality, symbolism, and holding sacred space.

This small-group day is for female therapists and counsellors who want time away from cognitive processing and into an embodied, reflective space of intuition, presence, and symbolic depth.

Using sand, symbols, story, gentle movement, music, myth, and guided reflection, we’ll work with the Priestess as an inner part - exploring both her light and her shadow - in a way that is trauma-informed, ethically held, and respectful of nervous-system pacing.

You don’t need to have prior experience of working with sand or symbols or of SandStory®.

Each archetype day stands alone - you’re welcome to attend one, several, or simply the one that calls you.

📝What the day includes

• Guided SandStory® process using sand and symbolic figures
• Trauma-informed exploration of the Priestess archetype as a part
• Attention to both the light and shadow expressions of the Priestess
• Time for self-care, reflection, journalling, and quiet integration
• A calm, spacious container that supports depth without pressure to disclose
• A 4 hour CPD Certificate for personal and professional growth

This is not group therapy - but it is psychologically informed, carefully facilitated, and professionally held.

✨Train In Person with Lara — Creator of SandStory Feminine Archetypes®

About the facilitator

Lara Kora is a psychotherapist, a qualified Women’s Circle Facilitator, and the founder of SandStory Therapy®.

She has trained extensively in Sand Therapy and has many years’ experience holding parts-aware, trauma-informed spaces for therapists and counsellors.

Her facilitation style is grounded, warm, relational, and attentive to safety, pacing, and individual boundaries.

This one-day, in-person training is a rare opportunity to work directly with Lara, the creator of the SandStory Feminine Archetypes® framework.

In a small, intimate group, Lara guides you personally through embodied practices, reflection, and discussion using sand, symbols and story — allowing for deep insight, integration, and real transformation. Places are intentionally limited to preserve safety, depth, and individual attention.
