Hey, hey, it's your host, Kamea. I've been feeling kind of perpetually overwhelmed by the state of the world,

and I'm really realizing again how important it is to have a daily re-centering practice for myself.

So I've been really working on that, and I'm not sure how this may be finding you,

but I want to use this maybe as a gentle reminder

for you as well to also nurture a ritual or practice whatever that may look like that feels

the most grounding to you. And also, if you happen to be interested in working on this with me

and with us, I want to invite you to check out Alchemize,

Green Dreamers 12-week audio-based program of daily imagination and creative practices, inspired

by a lot of our show's inquiries, and led by a variety of our past guests, collaborators, and myself.

My inspiration to conceive this offering really came from this question,

what could it be like to partake in practices of mindfulness that aren't just about this

re-centering of us as individuals, but like practices of earthfulness.

So like moving from mindfulness to earthfulness that reroute our imagination

and embodiment in our deeper and broader webs of relations. This is the question that undergirds

the program as an invitation to move beyond engaging a lot of the topics that we talk about

on the show intellectually, but into

more embodied, sensorial, participatory, and creative ways. So yeah, Alchemize is now open for

enrollment again, and if this speaks to you, I welcome you to learn more at greendreamer.com slash alchemize.

Vivisection is not something that works very well when it comes to studying kingdom

of life that does so much of its work through interconnectivity. You can't grab a core sample

of soil, study the fungi, and say,

I know exactly what's going on here because you've just taken it out of the work that it's doing.
