A wish that GIM institutes around the world work together, exchange and coordinate their teaching contents is coming true. Lisa Summer, Director of the Institute for Music & Consciousness in Massachusetts, USA, and Isabelle Frohne-Hagemann, Director of the Institute for Music, Imagination, and Therapy in Berlin (IMIT), Germany, have agreed on a cooperation. Both, Lisa Summer’s Continuum Model and the BMGIM taught at IMIT are models for clinical use in psychiatric and psychosomatic hospitals. The two approaches will complement and enrich each other. Lisa will implement her Continuum Model in Germany and conduct a Level III group in cooperation with IMIT. She will be assisted by MI-trainers of the stand-alone course "Resource Oriented Music Imagination (RoMI)" taught at IMIT. The assisting MI Trainers by that can become full EAMI accredited BMGIM trainers for Lisa's Continuum model and for BMGIM taught at IMIT.

The project will start next year with Swiss and German graduates of the different RoMI training groups of IMIT.

​MARI MANDALA TRAINING: MARI is a diagnostic tool, used in coaching, counseling and in
GIM sessions. It facilitates an analysis of the current situation and encourages the client to
encounter strengths and resources. During a MARI session, clients are invited to select from
a set of 39 symbol and color cards. The choices reflect current issues and themes, offering
insights and facilitating change. Joan Kellogg, the founder of MARI (Mandala Assessment
Research Instrument), was a colleague of Helen Bonny. Inspired by Joan’s work, Helen Bonny
incorporated mandala drawing into Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) sessions through her
interactions with Joan. The MARI Training equip you with the skills to use MARI effectively with
clients.

In memory of Dag Körlin, Evangelia Papanikolaou (IMAGEing’ s course coordinator), Joyu Lee (USA) and Angela Shum (Hong Kong) carry on his tradition on Music Breathing, as he had wished. The next training (this time coordinated by SONORA) will take place in autumn 2023/ spring 2024 in EU and US/Canada times, with Evangelia Papanikolaou as trainer, assisted by Joyu Lee (USA)

Dates
May 2024, Sat 11 & Sun 12 (Advanced MB seminar 2)

February 2024: group supervision/discussion forum (2,5 hours/tba)

Dorothea Dülberg's biography of Helen Bonny is now published at Böhlau Verlag Köln. We are happy to announce this must-read for all of us working with GIM. As of yet, the book is only available in German but hopefully an English translation will follow soon.
