MARI® is a powerful tool using colour and symbol to make the preconscious visible. It is a very unique, visual and creative tool which is used in combination with a variety of therapies (psychotherapy, music and art therapy and occupational therapy).
The MARI® system accesses information from our psyche, in a playful, non-threatening way.
It allows us to experience transformation and new insights about ourselves and our life situations.
It is:
- based on a Jungian system of symbols and colours, developed and researched by art therapist Joan Kellog in the 1970’s.
- used to assess a client’s current psychological state and gives a visual representation of the psyche.
- used to access material from the unconscious mind using symbols and colours thereby adding richness to the therapeutic dialogue.
- a process, using both left and right brain-thinking, with the client as the guide in leading the discovery.
- a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic tool bringing clarity to the issue at hand. Once you see the psyche in this new way, you can understand and affect change.
