  • Your podcast shapes so much of my work with youth and the land. I lead an after school club with children where we grow and cook food, connect with the more than human world, and aim to celebrate and nurture youth voices with respect, validation, and love. Just listened to your episode with Martín Prechtel. Really, really took a lot from it. Thank you for all you do.

  • Favorite podcast of all time. Every two episodes I find myself mind-blown. There are so many things that must be analyzed and deconstructed. Kaméa leads the way in a warm and nonjudgmental but efficient manner.

  • I have been listening to GD since 2018.… I love that kaméa asks very thoughtful and well-researched questions and oftentimes lets us go on a learning journey with her when she briefly mentions her feelings or perceptions about the topic of discussion. Having an excellent interviewer highlights the work of those she interviews even more. There’s a humility with GD that I think a lot of podcasts are missing and makes GD that much more special.

  • Green Dreamer constantly pushes me to expand the way I interact with the world we are within. Kaméa and the guests she hosts challenge, provoke, and provide solace. I am constantly impressed by the level of preparation and thoughtfulness Kaméa brings to each conversation.

  • Green Dreamer Team - Thanks for making such a cool podcast! I’m sure the work that goes into this is tiring. But you certainly do have loyal listeners, and the messages and themes of the show are so essential to this moment. The conversations and exercises are always thought provoking and high caliber. I'm looking forward to the next listen.

  • Check out the info, variety of perspectives, and framing of questions for conversations unlike other 'green’ podcasts I listen to. Big props to Kaméa for creating and leading this jewel of a podcast with her depth and breadth of knowledge.

production team

kaméa chayne
host & creative producer

kaméa (she/they) is an in(tra)dependent creative, the writer and publisher of UPROOTED, and the host and producer of ~alchemize~ and Green Dreamer podcast — for which she has had the honor of interviewing a diverse range of over 400 community and thought leaders. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, GRIST, Mother Jones, Climate Culture, Refinery29, mindbodygreen, and more.

First germinated and watered in Taiwan with a Hakka-Taiwanese biocultural upbringing that was influenced by Taoist/Buddhist thought and practices of land and ancestral veneration, she roots her values in relation to her late grandparents’ lives as land-based, subsistence farmers in rural Longtan.

A cultural critic who dreams of “reorienting growth” against dominant tides, they hope their work moves inner and undercurrents— inspiring open curiosity, experimental shapeshifting, and tender care for all.

Anisa Sima Hawley
co-editor & community weaver

Anisa (they/she) is a friend, child, sibling, shapeshifter, and all-around goofball whose emergent praxis of “fielding imaginative futures through presence” is guided by acts of radical care, tenderness, and subversive failure.

Anisa is moved to engage with place-making, hold and metabolize grief/joy, and sit with the paradoxical urgency of slowing down. Shaped by their ever-unfolding relationship with axes of queerness, neurodivergence, and liminality, they are enchanted by modes of “nepantla” as dreamed through dance, textile art, and ceramics.

Alongside their soma-poetic practices, Anisa engages with storytelling as a radical craft through their work as coordinator, co-editor, and community weaver of Green Dreamer and ~alchemize~. They are a lifelong companion to their dog Miso, who reminds them of the importance of rest, playfulness, and simply being.

Yasmin Dahnoun
co-editor & researcher

Yasmin (she/they) is a writer, poet and artist currently based in London. She often feels like something between a weaver bird and a bumblebee, cross-pollinating and interweaving across crafts, practices, and ways of interbeing.

As a British-Algerian growing up between continents, religions, and cultures, they've always found home in what brings us together—music, art, dance, food, and the fearless ability to express what it is that we truly want to say, do, act and feel. Yasmin’s activism is rooted in her paternal grandparents’ fight for Algerian independence. In honouring their struggle, she dedicates her work to the freedom of all beings everywhere from suffering and oppression. 

 Forever shifting, her journalism is rooted in her care and commitment to Earth. She seeks to bring truth, accountability, and deeper inquiry through her writing. In between all of this, you’ll find Yasmin deep in a novel, getting lost in a painting, roller-skating and most importantly—resting.
