Islands of Coherence is a podcast for people who refuse to go numb.
The world is in freefall - politically, ecologically, spiritually - and most of us can feel it. But Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ilya Prigogine showed us something remarkable: when a system is in chaos, small pockets of coherence don’t just survive - they can shift the entire system toward a higher order.
This show is about building those pockets. Each episode draws from spiritual practice, somatic work, artmaking, ecology, and activism to explore a single question: how do we cultivate wholeness - in ourselves, in our communities - while everything around us fragments?

Joining us for our 100th episode celebration is founder of the Beyond the Moves dance classes, Nickel Yudat. Nickel is a UK based freestyle hip hop dancer and teacher who imparts onto his students the importance of mindset in the practice of freestyle dancing. In this conversation, we explore Nickel’s story of how he found his way to dancing, and ultimately how he’s using it as a practice to deepen his connection to some inherent positive qualities that we all share. We also chat about how to find your creative voice, the importance of discipline, and battle culture.
If you want to stay up to date on Nickel’s journey, follow him over on Instagram or check out his website at beyondthemoves.com
