THE QUEEN

👋🏼A Day with your Queen Archetype

The Queen archetype holds themes of self-trust, sovereignty, responsibility, wisdom, and leading with heart and clarity.

This small-group day is for female therapists and counsellors who want time to step into an embodied space of grounded authority, self-assurance, and clarity about how they lead and live.

Using sand, symbols, story, gentle movement, music, myth, and guided reflection, we’ll work with the Queen 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®.

This is the last of the stand-alone archetype days of the 8 - you’re welcome to put your name on the waitlist for when they will next be running and head to sandstory.org/archetypes for so much more!

📝What the day includes

• Guided SandStory® process using sand and symbolic figures
• Trauma-informed exploration of the Queen archetype as a part
• Attention to both the light and shadow expressions of the Queen
• 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. Like seeing a favourite author or teacher live, this experience offers depth you simply can’t access online. 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.
