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

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.
