| 0:00.0 | I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent |
| 0:07.9 | podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those |
| 0:13.7 | considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question. |
| 0:22.3 | So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out. |
| 0:26.8 | We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast. |
| 0:30.7 | And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at |
| 0:37.3 | camaya.substack.com or through a one-time |
| 0:40.4 | donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so |
| 0:47.6 | grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us. |
| 0:54.6 | Hey there, you're listening to Green Dreamer, which is a community-supported independent podcast. |

| 1:24.6 | author book giveaways, and so on, you can head to greendreamer.com |
| 1:28.7 | slash support. |
| 1:30.7 | I have really come to understand that sustainability and healing are really interchangeable |
| 1:36.3 | words. |
| 1:36.8 | We're talking about creating a return to wholeness, and how can we possibly expect wholeness to not include justice on every front, |
| 1:49.0 | racial justice, societal justice, environmental justice. They're all expressions of this feeling or this idea of |
| 1:58.0 | separation that we're separate from one another, that we're separate from the rest of nature. |
