PARTICIPANT INFORMATION FOR WORKSHOPS

Bringing Miniatures to the Workshops: It is not necessary to go miniature shopping if you do not already have miniatures. We will have plenty of miniatures for our experiential exercises even if you cannot bring any. It might be fun, however, to look around your home and see if there is anything small that really appeals to you. Or if you have some miniatures in your own sand tray collection that touch your curiosity, bring them along - just to explore for yourself what those miniatures might mean to you. Please bring 7-10 miniatures for the workshops. Try to bring small miniatures since we will have limited table space for displaying them. Please mark your miniatures, or make a list of them so that you will be able to retrieve all your miniatures at the end of the workshop/conference.
