TIAMAT in Toronto (Tier 2)

Note: You must have completed TIAMAT Tier 1 in 2025 or later to participate in Tier 2.

The TIAMAT program is informed by a 4E cognitive science framework, where cognition is taken to be more than just what happens inside the skull. Rather, cognition happens between the mind and the body, and between us and our world. There is a co-dependent relationship between our mind and our body, and between ourselves and our world. What our workshops do is ask you to engage with the world in a different way. Because they are mutually dependent, a different manner of engagement reveals new aspects of both yourself and the world.

We’ve designed TIAMAT for transfer. In other words, we’ve designed it so that the altered relationship between yourself and the world within the practices, carries on and grows beyond the practices.

### What is Tier 2?

Tier 2 – Sitting between Tier 1’s structures and Tier 3’s state-work, focuses on shadow work (i.e. those behaviors we disown) in a participatory, relational container. The stance is curious and collaborative: we work with what arises, instead of providing an ideal standard for you to meet. Expect intensity paired with clear agreements, escalation-through-repetition, all with the support of like-minded folks and relational support. Collective sense-making is built into Tier 2, ensuring that you’re neither alone in distress nor stuck in your own rumination cycles.
