Green Dreamer: Seeding change towards collective healing, sustainability, regeneration

• Mitch Anderson: Join the Amazon’s resistance against oil expansion

  The Ecuadorian government is currently planning to auction off 8.7 million acres of the Amazon rainforest to oil interests.What is at stake — for the Indigenous communities of the Amazon, for people outside of the Amazon, and for the planet — with millions of acres of lively, intact rainforest being put on the line?What can we learn from how the Waorani people won their historic legal victory in 2019 to protect 500,000 acres of rainforest from oil drilling? And how do we go about building solidarity across communities and borders, and between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous allies?Today, Green Dreamer’s host, Kaméa, speaks with Mitch Anderson, who is, alongside Nemonte Nenquimo, the co-founder of Amazon Frontlines and co-author of We Will Be Jaguars.Join us as we question economic incentives that narrow-mindedly privilege monetary currencies above other currencies of Life, re-examine the concepts of “convenience” and “remoteness,” and more.We invite you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app;subscribe to kaméa’s newsletters here;and support our show through a one-time donation or through joining our paid subscriptions on Patreon or Substack.

• [ES/UNTRANSLATED] Nemonte Nenquimo: Listen to the voices of the Amazon Rainforest

  (By request, this is the raw, untranslated version of our interview with Nemonte Nenquimo — in which you will hear Nemonte's original responses in Spanish to Kaméa's questions presented in English.)What has been the historical relationship between missionary work and the development of the oil industry in the Ecuadorian Amazon? What does it mean to listen to the voices — both human and more-than-human — of the Amazon Rainforest?And how do the Waorani navigate tensions between their Indigenous cosmovisions and ways of life, and the outside world’s growing influence on their younger generations?For our special Earth Month feature, we are honored to share our powerful conversation with Waorani leader Nemonte Nenquimo — who recently co-authored We Will Be Jaguars with her partner, Mitch Anderson.How do we recenter our perspectives of “modern” on communities who are, in this modern day, most in tune with the languages of Mother Earth — and reorient our ideals of “futuristic” towards all that enrich and affirm life?We invite you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app;subscribe to kaméa’s newsletters here;and support our show through a one-time donation or through joining our paid subscriptions on Patreon or Substack.

• Prentis Hemphill: Becoming strange to the normalcies of this world

  What is at stake if we bypass the “inner” work of personal transformation while we rally forward in the “external” work of dismantling systemic injustice?What does it mean to imbue wonder, mystery, and magic within movements for collective liberation?And what if these troubled times actually require us to become strange to its often-normalized values, worldviews, and ways of be-ing?⁠In this episode, Green Dreamer’s host kaméa chayne is joined by Prentis Hemphill, who curiously invites us to honor and unleash the full, weird, and majestic creatures within us.⁠Join us as we unravel the messy layers of healing our humanity in this modern world — including an interrogation of the ways that social media and AI have been distorting our very real human needs for connection.We invite you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via Spotify or any podcast app;subscribe to kaméa’s newsletters here;and support our show through a one-time donation or through joining our paid subscriptions on Patreon or Substack.

• Serene Thin Elk: An invitation into collective, generational healing

  A lot of people seem to be struggling with our senses of belonging.So many people have been uprooted and forcibly displaced. Many have chosen out of free will to relocate. Many are born into places where they don't have deep ancestral roots. And many don’t have the privilege of feeling like their families and communities with whom they grew up are safe spaces to call home and find healing within. But if truly holistic medicine is tied to culture, to community, place, and the land, what does it mean to nurture collective healing and rebuild community in a vastly diasporic world?In this episode, Green Dreamer’s kaméa is joined by Serene Thin Elk, who gently guides us to unravel “trauma” in historic, individual, community, and environmental contexts, while beckoning us towards collective, intergenerational healing.We invite you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app;subscribe to kaméa’s newsletters here;and support our show through a one-time donation or through joining our paid subscriptions on Patreon or Substack.
