The MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) is a holistic, non-diagnostic tool that uses mandala symbols and color to explore 13 key stages of a person’s life. It helps illuminate a client’s developmental journey, areas of struggle, emotional patterns, boundaries, self-relationships, and more including their perspectives on beginnings, endings, work, health, and spirituality. This process supports therapists in identifying meaningful themes and tracking progress over time.
The MARI invites an intuitive, collaborative exploration between therapist and client—opening space for discovery, emotional awareness, and therapeutic direction.
In this 20-hour MARI training you will learn and experience:
- Using MARI to assess personal, career, relationship, health & spiritual issues
- Significance of symbols & images typically encountered in Drawn Mandalas
- Practice providing effective, ethical, and strength-based assessments
- How to incorporate mandala work with individuals and groups
We’d love to have you join us for this inspiring and enriching training! The therapists we have worked with consistently find this powerful, creative approach to therapeutic assessment both unique and deeply effective. If you have any questions let us know!
