| 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 |

| 1:29.6 | and Gabez Torres, a contributor and our program advisor for Alchemize, which, if you haven't heard yet, |
| 1:35.9 | is our new eight-week program of daily imagination and creative practices, now open for |
| 1:41.7 | enrollment until January 12th. In this off-the-cuff conversation, |
| 1:45.9 | we explore the roles of imagination, escapism, dissociation, and discomfort when it comes to |
| 1:52.5 | stretching our alternative possibilities. Enjoy. Most people who are familiar with what we've been working on in terms of alchemize might be aware that part of my intention with it was just my curiosity with what it would be like to move beyond what we usually do for the podcast, which is more so intellectualizing and philosophizing a lot of the issues and topics that we explore, |
| 2:21.2 | like making sense of everything through the mode of thinking. |
