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.
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.
