Jung referred to it as a “cryptogram (coded message) concerning the state of the self.” This mandala course includes concepts from psychosocial, physiological, and spiritual perspectives as they relate to our understanding of the meaning of colors and images found in mandala drawings.Participants will be introduced to the mandala drawing and learn how to use it as a diagnostic and healing tool in work with others and for themselves. This course will include the historical background of the mandala form as seen in nature, art, myth, architecture, religion and ritual. The format will include lecture, illustrative slides, film and experiential activities including mandala art and poetry writing. It is based on Kellogg’s theory of the 13 Archetypal Stages in the Great Round of the Mandala, a comprehensive model for the development of human consciousness that fits into all cycles. Kellogg incorporated states of consciousness research with Jungian theory and cross-cultural studies, and theorized an organized system based on form, color, and symbols for understanding mandala drawings. This developmental model includes issues around birth, life, death, and rebirth and provides a map of human consciousness and evolution.This training is for therapists, especially art or expressive therapists, or others in the fields of mental health, pastoral or spiritual counseling, or those interested in knowing more about this subject for their own growth and healing.Please send a non-refundable deposit of $75 to Phyllis Frame, 1443 Glenside Green., Charlottesville, VA 22901.
