Pam Montgomery

In this powerful and expansive conversation, Pam Montgomery (teacher, author, and plant spirit ally) invites us into a deeper relationship with the natural world.
We explore what it means to communicate with plants, how to trust our intuition, and how ancient ways of knowing are being remembered at this time of global rebirth.
Through personal story, scientific insights, and spiritual practice, Pam helps us reimagine our role in the web of life.

Pam Montgomery is an herbalist, author, international teacher, Earth elder and new-paradigm thinker who has passionately embraced her role as a spokesperson for the green beings and has been investigating plants and their intelligent spiritual nature for more than four decades.

More recently she has been working with the plants to heal the wounds of separation from Nature in order to move into co-creative partnership with all Nature. She is the author of three books including Co-Creating with Nature; Healing the Wound of Separation and the highly acclaimed Plant Spirit Healing; A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness.

She teaches internationally and virtually on plant initiations, spiritual ecology and co-creative partnership with Nature.

She is the founder of the Organization of Nature Evolutionaries or ONE and was a founding board member of United Plant Savers.

Through personal story, scientific insights, and spiritual practice, Pam helps us reimagine our role in the web of life.
Pam’s grandmother introduced her to the idea of talking with plants – a formative influence that shaped her lifelong path.
Communication with plants isn’t imaginary; it’s relational, vibrational, and increasingly supported by emerging science.
Devices like those from Damanhur allow us to hear plants "sing," revealing their responsiveness to intention and environment.
True communication happens through resonance, light, and sound – not just words – with the heart as the central sensing organ.
We are vibrational beings too; like plants, we can tune into our environment and one another on subtle energetic levels.
Pam describes “first voice” – the intuitive message that arrives before the rational mind interrupts – and how she trains herself to listen to it.
Slowing down and entering the present moment opens a “portal” to meaningful encounters with nature.
Nettle is explored as a plant ally that wakes us up and demands presence, while yarrow helps with energetic boundaries and healing.
Nature responds when we become coherent – as our nervous systems settle, the world around us comes closer.
Bonding with nature releases oxytocin, the “love hormone,” which initiates the body’s restorative response.
We are already in relationship with plants through our breath – consciously acknowledging this can be a gateway to deeper connection.
Pam speaks of a global rebirth and the possibility of a “new earth” rooted in interbeing, where all life can thrive together.
