Green Dreamer is a podcast and alternative, multi-media project created by Kaméa Chayne — who hosts conversations guided by questions around what it means to nurture more loving, liberating, and life-affirming worlds *for all*.

Called to unravel and unsettle the dominant narratives stunting our imaginations, we weave with a wide range of community and thought leaders — each of whose work invites a stretching of hearts and minds in their own ways.

love letters

  • Your podcast shapes so much of my work with youth and the land. I lead an after school club with children where we grow and cook food, connect with the more than human world, and aim to celebrate and nurture youth voices with respect, validation, and love. Just listened to your episode with Martín Prechtel. Really, really took a lot from it. Thank you for all you do.

  • Favorite podcast of all time. Every two episodes I find myself mind-blown. There are so many things that must be analyzed and deconstructed. Kaméa leads the way in a warm and nonjudgmental but efficient manner.

  • I have been listening to GD since 2018.… I love that kaméa asks very thoughtful and well-researched questions and oftentimes lets us go on a learning journey with her when she briefly mentions her feelings or perceptions about the topic of discussion. Having an excellent interviewer highlights the work of those she interviews even more. There’s a humility with GD that I think a lot of podcasts are missing and makes GD that much more special.

  • Green Dreamer constantly pushes me to expand the way I interact with the world we are within. Kaméa and the guests she hosts challenge, provoke, and provide solace. I am constantly impressed by the level of preparation and thoughtfulness Kaméa brings to each conversation.

  • Much needed! This is one of my favorite podcasts. I am so grateful this exists because thereʻs so much I would never have learned. These perspectives are so important for everyone to hear!

  • Thanks for making such a cool podcast! I’m sure the work that goes into this is tiring. But you certainly do have loyal listeners, and the messages and themes of the show are so essential to this moment. The conversations and exercises are always thought provoking and high caliber. I'm looking forward to the next listen.

  • Check out the info, variety of perspectives, and framing of questions for conversations unlike other 'green’ podcasts I listen to. Big props to Kaméa for creating and leading this jewel of a podcast with her depth and breadth of knowledge.

Kaméa Chayne
Host, Audio & Executive Producer

Kaméa (she/they) is the creator, host, and executive producer of Green Dreamer — for which she has had the honor of hosting long-form conversations with over 400 community and thought leaders while guided by her curiosities of “reorienting growth.” Also an artist and the writer of UPROOTED (Substack), Kaméa reflects and refracts through a lens that is diasporic, multicultural, and multidisciplinary — attentive to the connective tissues between seemingly disparate fields of inquiry.

A third-culture kid born and raised in Taiwan with a Hakka-Taiwanese biocultural upbringing — influenced by Taoist/Buddhist thought and practices of land and ancestral veneration — Kaméa roots her values in relation to her late grandparents’ lives as land-based, subsistence farmers in rural Longtan. Her work has been featured in GRIST, Mother Jones, and Climate Culture, as well as in a documentary feature produced by REI x The North Face in collaboration with National Geographic.

Anisa Sima Hawley
Production & Community Weaver

Anisa (they/she) is a friend, child, sibling, shapeshifter, and all-around goofball whose emergent praxis of “fielding imaginative futures through presence” is guided by acts of radical care, tenderness, and subversive failure. Anisa is moved to engage with place-making, hold and metabolize grief/joy, and sit with the paradoxical urgency of slowing down. Shaped by their ever-unfolding relationship with axes of queerness, neurodivergence, and liminality, they are enchanted by modes of “nepantla” as dreamed through dance, textile art, and ceramics.

Alongside their soma-poetic practices, Anisa engages with storytelling as a radical craft through their work as production manager and community weaver of Green Dreamer. They are a lifelong companion to their dog Miso, who reminds them of the importance of rest, playfulness, and simply being.
