The Wired Boy. Creating freedom and coming home to yourself with Reinier van Harten (REINDIER‪)‬ Conscious Creators - Change Your Mind with Flora

In episode #5 of the Conscious Creators series, we talk to multimedia artist Reinier.



Under the moniker “REINDIER”, he just started a new adventure. His brand-new project Obsidian // Silk will be released as a stage production, album and short film.



Reinier created a poetic, multifaceted, immersive experience, with a heavy focus on stage design, costume, styling, light production and choreography.



In this podcast, we start to uncover some of the layers, and dive into topics like creative freedom, sexual identity, and resilience.



Take a deep breath and allow yourself to be enchanted.



With love,

Flora
