Applications of the Mandala as it relates to the iceberg and the Process of change
The Mandala is a framework to explore the concept of human universals. The Iceberg is a teaching tool which offers a universal view of the inter-physic world of humans. We will show the integration of these concepts with a beautiful model called the „Process of change“. We will demonstrate how this trio of concepts offer a way of teaching how to make contact with others in deep and healing way.
