TIAMAT - Transformation through Play (Training / Tier 1 / Toronto)

FIRST TIME IN TORONTO AND SPACE IS LIMITED!

## Some experiences create a before and after. This is one of them.

There are workshops. And then there are experiences that truly give you the chance to reorganize how you see yourself, your work, and the people around you — that create a genuine fork in the road. TIAMAT is the latter. It has done this for performers, clinicians, seekers, and skeptics across four continents. Now, for the first time, it is coming to Toronto.

This is not a weekend of concepts and takeaways. It is a full-body encounter with a framework built at the intersection of cognitive science, philosophy, contemplative practice, and embodied performance — designed specifically to transfer. What shifts in the room follows you home.

We are in a moment of profound disconnection — from purpose, from one another, from a sense that our lives cohere. Most offerings gesture at this problem. TIAMAT does something about it. It gives you a living, rigorous, embodied practice for navigating the world differently — and access to a community of people taking that seriously alongside you.
Awaken to Meaning is proud to bring this to Toronto for the first time. This is a rare opportunity, and seats are limited.

Two audiences. One experience.
Whether you come as a practitioner or as someone who knows something is missing, TIAMAT meets you there.

Clinicians, Coaches & Therapists: Sharpen your sense of transference and countertransference in real-time / develop a more robust lens for where clients get stuck - somatically and relationally / expand capacity to track body, affect and relational field simultaneously / deepen self-awareness as your primary clinical instrument / gain a shared language you can bring directly into practice

Seekers, Builders & The Curious: A framework that bridges cognitive science, philosophy and lived practice / Real agency over how you think, feel and act - through skill, not willpower / Entry into a fellowship taking the meaning crisis seriously / A language for your inner life that holds under pressure / Transformation that doesn't fade by Monday morning

## TIAMAT has travelled. Now it visits a new place.

## Before Toronto, TIAMAT has been delivered across four continents – to performers, clinicians, researchers, educators, and people who simply knew something was missing. Each cohort has shaped the practice.
