The MARI is a unique process in which you are guided to create art from an intuitive space, connect with colors and symbols intuitively. Our bodies know what we need to heal. This process allows us to step out of our “thinking” brain into our sensing and intuiting body to provide the exact information you have needed to take the next step on your journey of self discovery. The MARI can also help you move forward if you have felt stuck in resolving an issue, situation, or relationship.

We utilize a process called MARI, Mandala Assessment Research Instrument. A trained MARI facilitator will guide you through the process of creating a mandala artwork, a symbol and color selection process and then the creation of a second mandala. Upon completion of your second mandala, the facilitator will guide you through exploration of your card choices, possible meanings, and their relationship to your artwork. These sessions can run anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours. During the exploration process, the MARI facilitator will take notes for you. These notes are for you to take home to reflect and continue your exploration.

Through your own inner guidance, you will explore areas that may have been on the periphery of your awareness for some time. These may be issues you have been aware of but haven’t had the tools to explore and resolve. It is said that the MARI brings unconscious material into conscious awareness. Through my years of facilitating the MARI, I know this to be true.
