We are excited to offer this Sanctuary & Self-Care retreat experience this fall. For a full flyer, please email Jamie Langley, TNAPT president at tna4pt@gmail.com or jamielynnlangley@gmail.com
Training Description:
The past 18 months have brought about tremendous changes, stressors and challenges. As play therapists we are not immune to these, and may often be more subject to due to providing care and comfort to others. We are likely closer to burnout, compassion fatigue and/or vicarious trauma than any other time.
Accessing sanctuary and self-care can help tremendously! In this healing retreat, we will explore and experience how mindfulness, nature, creativity and play can not only help restore balance, but also renew our spirit and soothe our soul. Yes- true self-care helps our heart, mind, body, and spirit.
We will have opportunities to immerse in nature for times of sanctuary via a walking labyrinth, pond and garden area, and a nature trail. There will also be time indoors to be creative, play and connect via games and expressive arts for playful and inspiring self-care. By having this time of sanctuary and self-care, we can nourish ourselves and "fill our cups" to help nourish others. We can also translate these experiences as part of our provision of child, family and play therapy.
This retreat takes place at the lovely Buckhorn Inn nestles along the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, TN. Accommodations include two nights in a lovely inn room, complete with breakfast both Sat and Sun, a picnic lunch on Sat, and a gourmet dinner on Saturday evening. Participants will leave rejuvenated with a self-care plan! In addition, there are a limited number of Saturday-only spots available as well. For those who attend the entire retreat, up to 10 APT CEs can be earned. Saturday-only participants can earn up to 6.5 APT CEs.
Learning Objectives:
1. Cite at least two reasons sanctuary and self-care are needed as ethical practice as a play therapist, social worker or mental health practitioner.
2. Describe at least three essential components for self-care as a play therapist, social worker or other mental health practitioner.
3. Conceptualize the importance of sanctuary and self-care in combating burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma.
4. Engage in at least three play-based self-care activities.
5. Complete an intentional self-care plan incorporating mindfulness, nature, creativity and play needed as a practicing play therapist, social worker, and/or mental health practitioner.

The Tennessee Association for Play Therapy (TNAPT) was formed in 1993 as a branch of the Association for Play Therapy. Our goal then and now remains the same: to promote play therapy by providing information, networking and workshops. It is our hope that this website can provide updated information to assist this goal. We also have a Facebook group where information is shared more often on a recurrent basis.
Play Therapy is the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development. (Association for Play Therapy)
Why play? Play is a child's natural form of communication as they express themselves more fully with their play.
The quote about play below is by the late Dr. Charles Schaefer (1933-2020), known both affectionately and admirably as the "Father of Play Therapy." Dr. Schaefer wrote or edited more than 80 books on play therapy. He co-founded the Association for Play Therapy (APT) in 1992 with Dr. Kevin O'Connor. In 1993 he first identified the Therapeutic Powers of Play as the change agents for healing. Updating these in 2014 with Dr. Athena Drewes, these Therapeutic Powers of Play are the cornerstones of the foundation of play therapy. We are forever indebted to his contributions to our field. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. His legacy continues in each one of us and with every child we help along the way through their language of play.
