Tyson Yunkaporta: Shifting from ‘health & wellness’ to communities of care

What does it mean to reject the monocultural delusion of separation and endless growth, and to nurture systems that honor context and the brilliance of neurodiversity? What is the relationship between altered states of mind from ceremonies and our shared senses of “reality”? And how do we shift our focuses away from “health and wellness” — towards informal, “black market” economies of care?In Green Dreamer’s round two interview with Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta, we explore the connections between his first book, Sand Talk, and his latest, Right Story Wrong Story — including how they question the standard protocols of trigger warnings for depression and suicide.How do we recalibrate our collective perceptions of the tangible world — when the “diversity in thought” of today feels so disoriented and ungrounded?We invite you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via any podcast app;subscribe to kaméa’s newsletters here;and support our show through a one-time donation or through joining our paid subscriptions on Patreon or Substack.Content advisory: Please note that this conversation includes a brief discussion on the topic of trigger warnings for suicide.Disclaimer: Please note that Green Dreamer’s interviews are minimally edited (both audio and non-verbatim transcript) for clarity and brevity only.
