Stay ConnectedGreen Dreamer with kaméa chayne explores our paths to collective healing, biocultural revitalization, and true abundance and wellness *for all*.
Curious to unravel the dominant narratives that stunt our imaginations and called to spark radical dreaming of what could be, we share conversations with an ever-expanding range of thought leaders — each inspiring us to deepen and broaden our awareness in their own ways.

How have the deep seas already been altered by industrial human activity? What is the relationship between art and science within the world of ocean conservation? And how do our culturally shaped senses of aesthetics influence our ethics of land care?
In this episode, Green Dreamer’s kaméa speaks with Stacy Alaimo, whose latest book is The Abyss Stares Back: Encounters with Deep-Sea Life.
Join us as we explore the entanglement of all life as waterly bodies of the Earth, what it means to care for and practice love for places and beings with whom we have no direct relationship, and more.
We invite you to:
How does historical processes of colonization relate to the increasing prevalence of more intense, destructive wildfires? How can Indigenous-led cultural burning support the regeneration of fire-dependent ecosystems — as well as the healing of communities experiencing "solastalgia"? And how are fire cycles and water cycles entangled?
In this episode, Green Dreamer’s Kaméa is joined by Dr. Melinda Adams, an Indigneous fire scientist who belongs to the N’dee, San Carlos Apache Tribe. A cultural fire practitioner and scholar, Dr. Adams’ research focuses on the revitalization of cultural fire with Tribes in California and more recently with Tribes in the Midwest.
Join us as we explore the longings of the land for cultural fire rooted in right relations, and what it means to move from ecological grief towards an empowerment to participate in biocultural revitalization.

How do we navigate the overwhelm that comes from staying informed about the world’s many interconnected crises — many of which may feel extremely dire and with grave urgency? Why do we need to look beyond conventional approaches to social change, such as electoral politics and even protests asking for things to be changed? And what does it mean to shift beyond acting from a place of reactivity and resistance — and to strategize for the longer term intention of supplanting oppressive governance?
In this pertinent conversation, Green Dreamer’s host, Kaméa Chayne, is joined by Sasha Davis, who takes us through some of the themes explored in his latest book, Replace the State: What to do when protests and elections fail.
Join us as we gently but critically hold up a mirror in front of ourselves to examine our methods and mentalities of change — ultimately landing on practical lessons from many Indigenous and people-led movements that have reclaimed power through effectively “replacing the state” in some shape or capacity.

What does it mean to look at power through the lens of land stewardship and ownership? How have different social factors influenced how the “reshuffling” of land has historically played out?And what does it mean to navigate the tensions between how land is valued as commodity through capitalist reductionism, versus in much more multi-dimensional ways as cultural, spiritual, ecological territories of belonging?
In this episode, Green Dreamer's Kaméa Chayne speaks with Mike Albertus to explore themes from his latest book, Land Power: Who Has It, Who Doesn't, and How That Determines the Fate of Societies.
Join us as we discuss how land reshuffling might continue to take place given current societal trends, examples of work being done to reconfigure land power for collective benefit, and more.

What do we need to interrogate about our dominant culture’s obsession with “wellness” — as well as its discomforts when confronted by illness? What does it mean to queer the concept of reciprocity and understand it as much more expansive than a palpable exchange of a give and take? And why do we need to refocus the idea of “community” on something that is rooted in place and proximity-oriented?
In this multi-layered episode, we are honored to share space with Sophie Strand for a round two interview to explore her latest book, The Body is a Doorway.
Join us as we chat about becoming more literate in the language of the more-than-human world, taking inspiration from fungi as both decomposers and recomposers, and glitching towards a return to each other.

What does it mean to reject the monocultural delusion of separation and endless growth, and to nurture systems that honor context and the brilliance of neurodiversity? What is the relationship between altered states of mind from ceremonies and our shared senses of “reality”? And how do we shift our focuses away from “health and wellness” — towards informal, “black market” economies of care?
In Green Dreamer’s round two interview with Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta, we explore the connections between his first book, Sand Talk, and his latest, Right Story Wrong Story — including how they question the standard protocols of trigger warnings for depression and suicide.
How do we recalibrate our collective perceptions of the tangible world — when the “diversity in thought” of today feels so disoriented and ungrounded?

This is a replay from May 2022 on Sanctuary for All, Sanctuary Everywhere — on the deportability of workers as labor discipline, immigration policy as labor policy, military recruits from disenfranchised communities and migrant workers, challenging the “nation of immigrants” narrative, and more.

What is there to question about the dominant framing of “climate crisis”? What does it mean to understand carbon not just as an element but as the flow of life? And how do we begin to recalibrate our senses of delusion or reality in a world where often up is portrayed is down and down as up?
In this conversation, we are joined by Paul Hawken, a world renowned climate expert who invites us to move beyond the fixation on carbon in a reductive, objectified equation of emissions and sequestration, and to look to the roots of why the planet and its communities are experiencing distress to begin with.
How do we counter the climate movement’s co-optation by technological, capitalist interests?

How does sensing into our zones of stretch, comfort, and panic help us to expand our capacities for love and nonviolence — in their more radical iterations? Where might accountability come from in a world that seems to reward behaviors that are extractive, exploitative, and narcissistic?
Our latest conversation features Kazu Haga, the author of Fierce Vulnerability, who invites us to shift the ways that we understand “power” and to center relational healing when addressing injustice.
What does it mean for us to step into the role of becoming healers of collective trauma?
