Summary
What is at stake if we bypass the “inner” work of personal transformation while we rally forward in the “external” work of dismantling systemic injustice?
What does it mean to imbue wonder, mystery, and magic within movements for collective liberation?
And what if these troubled times actually require us to become strange to its often-normalized values, worldviews, and ways of be-ing?
In this episode, Green Dreamer’s host kaméa chayne is joined by Prentis Hemphill, who curiously invites us to honor and unleash the full, weird, and majestic creatures within us.
Join us as we unravel the messy layers of healing our humanity in this modern world — including an interrogation of the ways that social media and AI have been distorting our very real human needs for connection.
We invite you to…

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's your host, Kamea. I just wanted to quickly share that Alchemize, our 12-week audio-based program of daily imagination and creative practices, is now open for enrollment again. My personal favorite theme from the program is Into Otherness, where I personally lead a practice called You Are Water, and some of our past guests lead |
| 0:22.2 | invitations like, you are a honeybee, or you are lichen, or you are fermenting. |
| 0:28.1 | There are also grounding practices to support you to re-web yourself within your more-than-human |
| 0:33.2 | community, and so much more. The question I had was, what could it be like to go beyond just |
| 0:39.0 | thinking about the topics that we often discuss on the show and to engage them in more |
| 0:44.3 | interactive and embodied ways? If this speaks to you, I welcome you to join us today at |
| 0:49.7 | greendreamer.com slash alchemize. I'm curious, and I don't know the answer. |
| 0:56.2 | This is where it goes to the mystery of it all. |
| 0:58.5 | I don't actually know what the world becomes when we're all a little stranger, a little |
| 1:03.4 | weirder, but at least the basis of it will be a little bit more liberation if you |
| 1:10.3 | are yourself not constrained. |
| 1:13.1 | If I get to see the creature in you and I get to show you the creature in me, what would we build? |
| 1:19.1 | Who knows? |
| 1:26.1 | Hello, dear one. You are listening to Green Dreamer and I'm your host, Kameh Shane. My heart really loved |
| 1:34.4 | this conversation with Prentice Hemphill that I'm about to share with you. Prentice is the author of |
| 1:40.1 | what it takes to heal, how transforming ourselves can change the world. |
| 1:45.7 | As you might guess, a lot of our conversation centers on the importance of personal healing, |
| 1:51.3 | what that even means, and holding up a mirror in front of ourselves to see how much our inner |
| 1:56.8 | work is tethered to broader system and transformation. |
| 2:02.8 | I think you'll find a lot of the things that we talk about to feel quite relatable because they have to do with this complex |
