An Amazing Weekend & Conference in Las Vegas
What an amazing weekend we had in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Play Therapy’s Echoes of Wisdom conference put on by Certified SPTer, Janet Nordine. Lisa and SPTI Supervisor Trainer MiliSarmiento-Shoemaker, co-presented in a session titled Wisdom in the Here and Now in Play Therapy: Self, Relationships, and the Body in Clinical Practice. Watching participants exploring the here and now and what keeps us from being present was powerful, as was seeing so many amazing SPTers and other play therapists come together in shared learning and connection.
