MARI® Live Online Training

Live on-line training is just like a Live class only you are taking it in live time with a live teacher via “Go-To-Meeting.” Chances are there will also be others who are taking the live on-line class with you. The hours of an on-line class can be more flexible and are determined between the teacher and student(s). The MARI materials are sent to you prior to the beginning of class.

Because you take the ONLINE TRAINING at home, you typically do have people to practice with and Practitioner is included as the next natural and final step in your on-line training.

PRACTITIONER – Supervised Practice (for live on-line training)
Requirements

Administer eight (8) MARI /mandala combinations to others under the supervision of a Certified MARI teacher – after you have returned home from completion of a live training.

What is Practitioner?
After learning everything you need to know in the Live On-line MARI Intensive, you now continue naturally into the final step of learning -which is actually administering MARI to others. During this level of supervised practice, called Practitioner, all of your learning comes together as you begin to practice with others, under the helpful guidance of your teacher.

During Practitioner, which has more flexible hours determined between you and your supervising teacher and your other classmates, you will submit eight (8) MARI/mandala combinations via the “Go-To-Meeting” format just as you did in class.

Once you have completed Practitioner status, you may be listed on the website as a certified practitioner.

There is an additional cost of $325.00 for certified MARI materials.
There is an additional fee for shipping. Varies according to country.  (The materials are sent directly to the student.)

The number of NBCC contact hours offered for completion of the program:

The basic number of contact hours for the MARI Intensive is 21. This does not include practitioner, as contact hours are not given for this practice, learning and fine-tuning time with the live teacher.

A live training is typically 7 hours a day for 3 full days. A live training does not include Practitioner status because the students must return home and administer eight (8) MARI/mandala combinations which, when ready, they submit to their supervising teacher. The   completion of Practitioner is flexible and based on the student’s access to subjects, comfort level and timing.

A live on-line training will also reflect 21 hours of direct on-line learning with a real teacher. The schedule, however, is often more flexible and is determined by the teacher, current group of students and time zones.
Practitioner status is often a natural continuation of the on-line training with the same teacher, although no contact hours are given.
