Abstract
Play is the lantern of hope whereby children are able to let go of more conscious patterns, thoughts and structures in order to freely express feelings by experiencing, through imagination, their deeper connections to their unconscious identity. Play leads into group relationships; play can be a form of communication; and lastly, play is in the service of communication with oneself and others. Stories through imaginative play, art and drama, are discussed with respect to the ongoing link between the inner meaning of life and the elements of the natural world. Play as a therapeutic tool illuminates the way as children seize the emerging moments as an opportunity to project their inner feelings and awareness. Transformative by nature, play becomes the opportunity for individual and group insights as personal and archetypal myths are recalled as a means of directing learning and creating ultimate healing.
