About Us

• MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) has been called
  The Doorway into the Wonder of the Psyche
  
  The MARI is a comprehensive system that uses symbols, known as mandalas, to reveal the inner truth and reality of the subject as it is –not what the ego filters of consciousness would want it to be, but what it really is.
  
  Carl Jung recognized the mandala as “the centre of personality, a kind of central point within the psyche, to which everything is related, by which everything is arranged and which is, itself, a source of energy. This center,” said Jung, “is not felt or thought of as ego but, if one may so express it, as the self.”
  
  Jung’s description of the mandala is also an excellent description of the MARI.
  
  Our goal is to provide a quality training program and excellent service in the administration of teacher training and certification. We also promote creativity and innovation within the organization, particularly in areas that promote practitioner satisfaction and continuing education, by providing products and services at a reasonable cost.
