At 5ToMidnight, we don’t offer fixes.
We offer training grounds.
TIAMAT is our ecology of practices—a tiered journey into the art of being human. Through embodied, dialogical, and imaginal exploration, we invite you to reawaken your agency, confront the shadows that bind you, and practice the virtues that free you.
Flagship Journeys
Tier I: Awakening
Do You Remember How to Play?
This 3-day workshop is the first of three progressive trainings in TIAMAT. It stands on its own as a packed, immersive experience—and as a gateway into a deeper path.
Tier I reawakens your capacity for full mind-and-body play. You’ll learn a synergetic set of practices: embodied, interpersonal, meditative, and group-based. Theory is not an afterthought here—it’s the lens through which we understand how practices interrelate and transfer into real life.
“Play becomes a practice of insight and becoming. The rules emerge, the flow surfaces, and transformation unfolds."

Drop-In Experiences
Come as you are. Practice together.
These 2–4 hour events offer playful, powerful glimpses into TIAMAT’s ecology of practices. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or just want to connect in a deeper way—these are designed to meet you where you are.
Crossroads & Connections
What happens when you show up without knowing what you'll find?
In these 2-hour workshops, two practice domains—dialogical, imaginal, mindfulness, or embodiment—are woven together to spark insight, connection, and surprise.
🗣C&C: Mindful Dialogue🗣
Are there people in your life around whom you feel misunderstood? Are there people you don’t know how to get to know? Mindful Dialogue practices will help develop your capacity to communicate your experience, to understand another person’s experience, and become a graceful dancer in the space where these two meet.
These practices will help you:
✅ Bring awareness to perception, motivation and emotion in oneself
✅ Awaken organic curiosity towards others through active listening
🤸🏾♀️C&C: Mindful Embodiment🤸🏾♀️
Do you find yourself moving through life without truly tuning into your body? What if there’s insight available only through your physical experience? Mindful Embodiment practices will re-awaken your mind’s wonder for the body and your body's intimate connection to the mind.
These practices will help you:
✅ Develop non-judgmental observation of yourself and others.
✅ Practice observing thoughts and feelings as they arise during physical activity.
✅ Connect with your body as a source of insight.
🤔C&C: Dialogical Embodiment🤔
Do the insights you get in journaling ever feel isolated to the page? Like water which slips through your fingers once you leave the lake? Dialogical Embodiment practices help us enact our insights into actions and vice-versa.
These practices will help you:
✅ Notice how physicality and psychology inform and impact each other.
✅ Become sensitive to the difference between information and interpretation.
