ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Feeling disconnected? Khimaira is for those grappling with being out of relation and the systemic forces that sever our ties to self, others, and the Earth. Through essays, intimate dialogues, and curated stories, we unpack the "unhealable wound" of alienation. This podcast focuses on collectively transforming, rather than erasing, this deep pain. Each episode acts as a container for shared grief, fostering understanding and radical rewilding of what we can imagine we are allowed to dream. If you crave communion, find vital sustenance here.
