What is TIAMAT

TIAMAT is not a single technique.
It’s neither therapy nor a self-help hack.
It’s a living
ecology of practices
for becoming more human, more whole, and more alive.

Tiamat, tiamet, mythology, Mesopotamian, history

What's in a name?

Tiamat is the name of a Mesopotamian goddess of primordial chaos
—the saltwater sea that mixed with freshwater to create the gods.

We thought that was pretty cool.

It’s also an acronym:

The Integrative Approach & Methodology
of
Active Transformation.

Let’s break it down:

The Integrative Approach

TIAMAT is the fruit of over twelve years of interdisciplinary research and field practice, developed through collaborations across:

  • Theatre and actor-training
  • 4E Cognitive Science and Jungian psychology
  • Eastern and Western philosophical traditions
  • Depth Psychology and Relational Practice
  • Movement, voice, mindfulness and play

It’s been attended by 200+ participants across a diversity of cultural, spiritual, and professional backgrounds.

TIAMAT is animated and evolves by folding in the personal, cultural, and relational contexts of everyone who enters it—including you.

& Methodology

TIAMAT is built on an ecology of practices—a dynamic network of tools that develop cognitive flexibility, emotional depth, and relational intelligence.

Through cutting-edge 4E cognitive science, we integrate four domains of practice known as DIME:

Dialogue: Speak your bodymind—and listen for what’s beneath to build collective flow and insight.

Imaginal: Use the power of story, symbol, and myth to shift perception and open new possibilities.

Mindfulness: Cultivate awareness from the inside out. Interoception and presence become avenues for transformation.

Embodiment: Somatic awareness becomes the ground for meaning, action, and change.

No single domain is a cure-all. But woven together, they form a resilient, adaptive ecology for transformation—one that meets the complexity of living life with clarity and care.

of Active Transformation

Transformation in TIAMAT isn’t passive.

It’s not received—it’s participated in.


We believe:

  • You’re not broken—
    but you’re likely not yet who you could be.

  • You’re not insufficient, you’re unfolding.

  • Growth is relational, symbolic, and embodied.


Which is why:

  • We won’t tell you who you should become.

  • We won’t promise you a fixed outcome.

  • We will invite you to be an agent in your own becoming.


TIAMAT doesn’t give you an ideal to chase.
It offers a context in which your deeper self—the one already whispering under the noise—can emerge.
