MARI® Practitioner Training Course

About the Course

Are you a therapist seeking more clinical tools to help individuals reach their wellness goals? Have you faced limitations with traditional therapeutic approaches or undergone an impasse? The Mandala Assessment Research Instrument (MARI) is a comprehensive system that may help you with this challenge. 


This MARI® Practitioner Training Course develops therapists' abilities to engage individuals in a creative process that does not rely solely on language. Therapists help individuals see parts of their inner world when they engage them in a process of drawing mandalas, selecting symbols, pairing symbols with colors, and interpreting their symbols as it relates to phases within the life cycle. Often, this experience provides individuals opportunities to

  • notice their strengths and weaknesses,
  • name their struggles and accomplishments,
  • connect with their “true” self, and 
  • find resources that enable them to maintain resiliency and reach wellness goals. 


Register today to become a MARI Practitioner and expand your abilities to offer holistic and healing centered care.
