Nandita Batheja
Coach and Facilitator
Nandita (she/they) is a facilitator, artist, organizer and community weaver who works across sectors, advocating for justice, liberation and creative being. They believe imagination is crucial to change-work and that play is freedom’s underdog. Traveling between the worlds of education, nonprofits, artist residencies and decentralized movement spaces, Nandita has followed a life-long desire to tend to these questions:
How do we build ecologies of right relationship and spiritual bravery in our relationships, actions, systems and creations? What is it to live the world we are dreaming, to every-day-it into existence? What is transformation, and how is it wound up with alchemy, healing, justice, grief and love?
Nandita works with individuals, groups and organizations to support personal/collective healing, conflict transformation, leadership development, and finding new ways forward. She is particularly honored to facilitate with YES!, Equal Justice USA and InterPlay; three organizations that never cease to challenge, grow and inspire her.
Nandita has a B.A. in English from Williams College and a M.S. in Conflict Management & Resolution from the University of San Diego, though almost all of their learning has come from community, peers, elders, strangers, students and art. They also study and practice the somatics of living, aging & dying to better support individuals and groups in tumultuous times.
