Creative Healing Integration, Inc.

Creative Healing Integration, Inc. The Creative Healing Integration (CHI) is a place to find a variety of resources to support your Mother Wound healing journey. Hi. I’m Mari Grande.

Author of 📘 "Overcoming The Mother Wound" available NOW. I am passionate about finding creative ways to connect, heal, and learn. As a licensed Art and Trauma Therapist, I love working with people and being part of their healing experience. I developed this space, CHI Creative Healing Integration ™, from what I believe is my soul’s purpose. After having a private in-person practice for over 20 years, I leaped into the online world as a venue to reach even more people. Creative Healing Integration has become a place where there are a variety of offerings and resources. You’ll find courses, guided meditations, and creative exercises to bring calm, clarity, and comfort. Coming from a trauma-informed background, I am aware of the healing powers that lie within, the courage and grace required to heal from adversity. This phenomenon is expressed in the Dahlia flower, which I honor as the Creative Healing Integration, Inc., logo.

What if your healing journey could be seen in color, shape, and image?

The MARI Mandala is a powerful art therapy tool rooted in the work of Joan Kellogg, Carl Jung, and Stanislav Grof. Rather than diagnosing or fixing, MARI offers a symbolic mirror of your inner experience.

Through the use of symbols and color, it helps you:
• See where you are on your emotional and psychological path
• Understand what is emerging or shifting within you
• Reconnect with your innate inner wisdom

It’s not just a mandala. It’s a map of your becoming.

Have you ever felt something stirring inside you—but struggled to name it?

The MARI might be the lens you’ve been looking for.

Healing is not a project with a finish line. It is a relationship with your inner life.

If the MARI mandala practice has invited you into deeper self-connection this month, I invite you to stay connected. I’ll be sharing more opportunities, reflections, and creative invitations throughout the year.

You are welcome here.

If February has felt tender, fluid, or full of mixed signals, you are not alone. The tension between asking your body to slow down while your spirit wants to leap forward can show up in surprising ways.

This is exactly the kind of moment where mandala making becomes support rather than strategy.

I’m offering an Embodiment & Mandala Making Workshop on
Sunday, February 22, 12:00–2:00 pm

A space to slow down, return to your body, and explore what wants your attention now.

No art experience needed. Just a willingness to show up as you are.

Fire Horse energy is catalytic and bold, while Stage 2 wants softness and sensing. When these energies meet, it can feel like parts of you are on different timelines.

This tension is not a flaw. It is a sign of growth.

Mandala making becomes a bridge, not by giving you answers, but by offering a steady center you can return to when inner forces seem at odds.

Your body remembers what your mind forgets.

✨ Let your body lead the way. Join Sunday’s mandala workshop to return to what feels true. Link in bio.

The MARI framework reminds us that healing is not a straight line. Stage 2 teaches us to stay with sensation without rushing for answers. It asks, What is forming in you that hasn’t yet taken shape?

This is where the MARI mandala becomes a companion; it doesn’t demand answers. It offers a center. In art therapy, we learn that form follows feeling. Not the other way around.

When we allow form to arise from feeling, we let healing unfold in its own time.

In Stage 2 of the MARI, impressions arrive before definition. It’s like the way sunrise begins with a blush of light; you feel it first before you see it clearly.

In your own experience, where do you feel intuition arise first?
In your body, your breath, or your mood?
The mandala becomes a container for these impressions, offering a bridge between felt sense and visual expression.

Today, if you sit with a blank circle, what would your first mark be?

February arrives quietly, as the world keeps spinning. Dizzyingly.

Time keeps moving, but change often begins beneath the surface. In the language of the MARI Mandala, February corresponds to Stage 2 of the Great Round. This is not about clarity yet. It is about sensing, feeling, and early instinct before meaning takes form.

This stage gently invites us to notice what is present in our bodies and hearts before our minds can explain it. Restlessness, tenderness, fleeting intuition, these are all part of Stage 2’s language.

🌀 The mandala can help translate what is felt into something visible and understandable without forcing answers.

How does your body know what your mind hasn’t caught up with yet?
