MARI Session with Bridget
$150Enjoy this 2.5 Hour MARI Session with Bridget Pemberton-Smith, ATR-BC!
About the Mari Technique
Information is passed down to us genetically from the countless generations who came before us. For thousands of years, humans have made other than conscious connections to symbols and colors. Today we know that, just like the memories of our grandmothers, this knowledge of symbols and color is part of what we know. We know it on an unconscious level but do not know it consciously. MARI is accurate because this unconscious knowing informs our intuitive choices of symbol and color. MARI is a whole-brain instrument that includes both conscious and unconscious elements of our whole psyche.
The person taking the MARI assessment selects symbol and color pairs which are laid out on the Great Round, a series of twelve developmental stages. These stages are arranged in the exact same way humans process the environment. On a neurological level we conceive of forward motion through time in the same way that the sun traverses the sky. The developmental stages of the MARI, similarly, are arranged in the same way. The MARI, like our brains, is linked to the environment and cued to the natural cycles.
The MARI is so much more than a paper and pencil test that is typically machine scored. It is so much more than sitting and talking with a counselor, who has little to go on other than what you tell him or her.
Most importantly, the developmental stages of the MARI are all informed by a central stage that is rooted in meaning and purpose. The central stage represents wholeness. It is this positive, transpersonal perspective that anchors the whole MARI process in meaning. Wholeness is inherent in MARI and informs every aspect of a MARI session.
MARI is based on a multi-leveled perspective that includes right- brain and left- brain aspects and conscious and other-than conscious elements. It is the only instrument that includes all four functions of consciousness - thinking, feeling, sensing and intuiting. An assessment is only as good as what it is designed to measure. MARI is accurate because it is so comprehensive and it is positive because it is based in Transpersonal psychology. MARI also has the ability to be used as a therapeutic tool.
