Wooden Cross

Wooden Cross – Sandtray Miniature

This wooden cross offers a powerful and multifaceted symbol within the sandtray. It can highlight the religious or spiritual components present in a client’s life, serving as a representation of faith, connection, tradition, or cultural identity. For many, it reflects personal morals, values, beliefs, and the grounding influence of spirituality or a higher power.

At the same time, the cross can hold more complex or painful meanings. It may surface themes of religious trauma, guilt, shame, pressure, or conflict between personal identity and spiritual expectations. It can also represent experiences of loss, sacrifice, forgiveness, or redemption—whether sought, resisted, or questioned.

This piece supports exploration of:

• Spirituality, purpose, and meaning-making

• Family or cultural expectations

• Identity development and inner conflict

• Hope, comfort, and healing

• Trauma, fear, or spiritual wounds

With its natural wooden texture and simple design, the cross provides an open, non-directive starting point for clients to express their relationship with belief, belonging, and the parts of their story shaped by faith.
