Conversation with Nicole Bindler

Join me for this wonderful conversation with dance-maker, somatic practitioner, writer, and activist Nicole Bindler. Our conversation is quite wide-ranging, and I'm sure you'll find it as insightful and delightful as I did! Correction: The correct title for the Sandberg Instituut's program that Nicole references is "Ecologies of Transformation".   For more info about me check out: https://www.danielburkholder.com/ For more info about Nicole: Nicole Bindler is a dance-maker, Body-Mind Centering® practitioner, writer, and activist.
