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.

What's in a Name? - On the Language of Birds with guest Yīxiāo

In Khimaira’s premiere episode, Nancy joins V to talk about names, birds, friendship, and the quiet ways we learn from each other. It’s a conversation about staying open — to language, to love, and to the surprising knowledge that comes from other people when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. This episode is an offering, a shared moment of reflection on how we learn from those we love and what it means to listen with when seated in care.

This episode features original sound art by Yīxiāo, titled Bird Seeds, as well as field recordings of birds captured by Nancy and V
