I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

Hey, it's your host, Kamea, and you're listening to Green Dreamer.

As a community-powered podcast, we cannot keep our episodes going and alive without more direct support from our listeners.

And in this critical time, independent media shining a light on often sideline perspectives and topics is more important than ever.

So if you're learning from us and are moved by our conversations, you can reciprocate a gift of any amount at greendreamer.com slash support.

knowledge as a type of science, especially as someone who has been training the Western science.

You know, our know, our knowches are work in that sense, right? Because we adapt their

knowledge, we do research, but obviously not through

the linear framework that the scientific method calls for.
