WHERE ELEPHANTS HIDE AND BECOME MASTERS OF WISDOM AND INTEGRATION. THE CASE OF 10 YEAR OLD DAN.

Dan, a ten-year old boy, invites us to cast a glance into the infinitely varied world of the psyche as he follows his call to connect inner and outer nature through the integration of body, mind, and spirit.

Within the silent temenos, Dan expressed his dysphoric mood and deep struggle with loneliness. Working later in his sandplay process with African elephants in his sandtrays allowed him to make contact with an important, lost aspect of his psyche. As he connects his inner and outer natures, Dan starts to process his internalized anger and unites conscious man with primitive man in what CG Jung called ” connecting with one’s bush soul”.

His joyful and liberating acceptance of his creations in the sand , especially near the end of his sandplay process , mark the acceptance of his own creative potential and more importantly, himself.

Through the psychotherapeutic process, he is moved to seek opportunities to bring more awareness to others regarding the role of elephants and nature in inner healing and the healing of mother earth.
