Art Therapy & Mandala Symbolism Training
The Presenter
Upcoming Training:
This workshop trains therapists to work with color and symbols in art with clients. Through the discussion of the artwork of clients, and making their own art the participants will learn how to recognize shapes and colors in art that will inform their understanding of adult and child clients’ current states and psychosocial processes. Color theory, shades, and color combinations will be explored as indicators of emotional dynamics. Art therapy principles regarding mark making, image size, image placement and construction will be provided in order to expand the clinician’s understanding of how using imagery in practice can support psychotherapists’ skills and aid in professional development and burnout prevention. No prior knowledge of art therapy or the arts is needed.
As part of this training, participants will learn about secular and spiritual meanings of symbolism within Jungian and Tibetan mandala art. Typical symbols representing developmental stages and psychological states from Joan Kellogg’s theory will be discussed in the context of client art-making. As part of the instruction Kellogg’s Mari® Mandala Assessment protocol will also be introduced and information about training with this assessment protocol will be provided.
*This is not a MARI® training.
