*DESCRIPTION*
The mandala is a circular drawing, well known by Jungians as an indicator of
internal processes. 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.
