About MARI
Where symbols, color, and psyche meet.
MARI uses symbol and color cards to reveal what is happening in the psyche — not what the ego would want it to be, but what it actually is.
Symbols predate culture and language; we make connections with them that are often not conscious.
Color adds emotional, physical, or spiritual dimensions to each chosen symbol.
Your selections are placed on a framework called the Great Round, where the visual picture of the psyche takes shape — mapping both conscious and unconscious dynamics.
MARI is the only assessment that includes all four functions of consciousness — thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting — and that it incorporates a timeless spiritual perspective.

What to Expect
A Session in Four Stages
1. Symbol selection
A deck of symbol cards is shown in random order. You select six that draw you most, one that feels least appealing, and two that seem to offer guidance for a personal issue you quietly hold in mind.
3. Mandala placement
Your symbol-color combinations are placed on the mandala, creating a snapshot of your psyche and highlighting both conscious and unconscious dynamics at play.
2. Color pairing
You choose colors to pair with each of your chosen symbols. Because symbols predate language and culture, these choices reveal a deeper, intuitive knowing.
4. Interpretation
Together we explore the meaning of your selections, close with a look at your personal mandala drawing, and I provide a written interpretation report you can revisit afterward.
