MARI® Online Training

Live online training is just like a Live class. You are taking it in real time with a MARI teacher via Zoom, Go-To-Meeting, Google Meet, etc. Classes usually consist of 4-5 trainees at a time, so they are small and personal. The session times, and the length of an online class may 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.

PRACTITIONER – Supervised Practice (for live and online training)
Requirements

MARI is a copyright protected instrument that includes a certification. This means that once you complete your intensive training and supervision, you would become a fully Certified MARI Practitioner. After learning the basics and core knowledge of MARI, either in-person or the Online MARI Intensive sessions, you now continue the final step of the training– which is administering MARI to others and guiding them through their self-discovery process. During this level of supervised practice, you begin to integrate the core principles of MARI, under the guidance of your teacher, with volunteers. You would find eight colleagues, friends, or family members that you will meet with 1:1 and have them complete the MARI process to support your learning experience. At least two of these practice sessions will be presented to your MARI teacher and shared with your classmates. These are usually at least 2 hours in length, and you would be required to attend a minimum of two sessions in the online version.

Once you have completed Practitioner status, you may be listed on the website as a Certified MARI Practitioner (CMT) and permitted to use the CMT credential.
