    Joseph Oleshangay: Honoring nomadic, pastoral, and communal land relations

    How is the Maasai community continually being displaced and disenfranchised in the name of “wildlife conservation”? What are some of the common propaganda used to justify their mass evictions? And how do the Maasai’s communal land relations, rooted in nomadism and pastoralism, ultimately challenge the laws of their nation-state — revealing the subjective ethics and worldviews that define legality? In this episode, we are honored to be joined by Joseph Oleshangay, a Maasai human rights lawyer who has litigated high-profile lawsuits against their government — notably, regarding forced evictions of the Maasai community in Ngorongoro District for tourism and trophy hunting. What can we learn from the Maasai’s ancestral lifeways that blur the lines between life and “wild” life — showing their food, medicine, culture, spirituality, stories, and music as inextricably woven into the plains and highlands where they call home?

    Martín Prechtel: Relearning the languages of land, plants, and place

    In this conversation, kaméa chayne is joined by Martín Prechtel, who speaks to us from Northern New Mexico where he presently lives with his family and their Native Mesta horses. Having grown up with a Pueblo Indian upbringing and later becoming a full member of the Tzutujil Mayan community in the village of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, Prechtel draws on his deeply embodied knowledge of various Indigenous languages and invites us to unravel the meaning of “real culture.” What does it mean to re-member and re-learn the languages of land, plants, and place? Join us in this enriching conversation as we explore the contentious politics, practice, and (re)embodiment of Indigeneity, and what it means to become culturally indigestible for the sterilizing stomach acids of the “monster of modernity.” 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.

    Ferris Jabr: Re-rooting science in the aliveness of the Earth

    How do the biological life forms of the Amazon rainforest — from pollen grains, fungal spores, to microbes — play active roles in their regional water cycle? How might we connect chemistry, biology, physics, ecology, and other less quantifiable measures of aliveness to look at our planetary crises in much more holistic ways? And if the Earth's “systems” were ever-emergent and everchanging, then how do we know what to orient healing and restoring balance towards? In this episode, kaméa is joined by Ferris Jabr, who shares his wealth of ecological knowledge while drawing upon his book, Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life. Join us as we explore some big and larger-than-life questions pertaining to the Earth as a living body — one that gave rise to humanity, one whose living systems we contribute to shaping, and one that will continue reiterating well beyond human timescales.

    Nathalie Kelley: Sporing more regenerative stories in media and entertainment

    What does it mean that Hollywood and the entertainment industry are increasingly relying on AI and consumer data to make decisions about the stories that get funded and produced? How might we expand our perspectives on privilege so that the things we aspire to as being “better off” are more deeply rooted in what can truly enrich life, community, and our interconnectedness? In this episode, we are honored to welcome Nathalie Kelley, an actress of Indigenous Peruvian descent who is passionate about using her gifts as a storyteller to advocate for a variety of issues — from regenerative fashion, systemic justice for Indigenous peoples, wilderness conservation, regenerative farming and the healing power of plants and fungi. Join us in this raw and heartfelt conversation as we explore the ways that the media, films, and stories we engage with add up to shape our collective cultural values and relationships — with each other and the more-than-human world.

    adrienne maree brown: Sowing seeds of love in our “garden of ideas”

    How do we navigate friendships in the context of social change and increasing political divides? What does it mean to ground ourselves in concepts that are much older than us — collectively nurturing our “garden of ideas”? And how do we move away from cancel culture to lovingly call one another in — to return, re-root, and remember our shared values? In this episode, Kaméa is joined in conversation by adrienne maree brown, whose most recent book, Loving Corrections, is now available from AK Press and wherever books are sold. Join us in this nourishing discussion to learn how to move through these troubled times with deeper grounding and impact — without letting possible senses of overwhelm translate into desensitization or disengagement.

    Alexis Pauline Gumbs: Echolocation as a practice of collective care

    What can we learn from marine mammals in their practices of echolocation? What is the difference between identification as a colonial tool of control and separation, versus identifying with as an invitation to expand and blur boundaries? And how do Audre Lorde’s poetic dreams of survival continue to reverberate during our times — helping us to reorient the ways that we show up for ourselves, for our communities and our planet? In this episode, we are honored to welcome Alexis Pauline Gumbs, a Queer Black Feminist Love Evangelist, an aspirational cousin to all life, and the author of Undrowned and Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde. Join us in this heartwarming conversation as we explore lessons from marine mammals, teachings from the artful life of Audre Lorde, the significance of what it means to survive, and more.

    Bruce Pascoe: Respecting and falling in love with the land

    How is the common portrayal of Australia’s first peoples as hunter-gatherers who lived on empty, uncultivated land misguided, and wrong? What does the word “Country” mean in Aboriginal Australian thought? And what do we need to interrogate in terms of the subjectivity of how knowledge is produced or how stories are substantiated? In this episode, we are honored to speak with Bruce Pascoe, a Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian man best known for his book Dark Emu: Aboriginal Australia and the Birth of Agriculture. Join us in this warm, grounding conversation as we explore Aboriginal Australian agriculture, land practices of working with fire, maintaining respect for and falling in love with Mother Earth, and more.

    Laura Marris: Sensing into our longings and "the age of loneliness"

    How might we listen to our hearts more and tune into this “age of loneliness”? What are some vital connections between our public health crises, the loneliness epidemic, and our eco grief and anxiety? And what are the possibilities of intergenerational longings — for things already lost and gone amiss that we may not even have personal relationships with anymore, but that we must nevertheless work to restore and regenerate? In this episode, Green Dreamer’s host, kamea, speaks with Laura Marris about the heart-centered stories, learnings, and inspirations from her book, The Age of Loneliness. ***** Independent media is more important than ever!
