In this episode, Jori Meijer delves into the transformative potential of movement through her work at Hidden Body, a movement school located in the Netherlands redefining physical education for the 21st century. She illuminates how movement is more than mechanics—it’s relational, cognitive, and emotional, connecting us to ourselves and others.
