Recorded on March 29, 2025, this conversation dives into the consciousness of plants, their role as our elders and partners, and how reconnecting with nature can heal both ourselves and the planet. Pam blends scientific insights, personal anecdotes, and spiritual wisdom to offer a practical yet profound roadmap for living in harmony with "sweet Lady Gaia."   Key Discussion Points 1. Plants as Conscious Partners (03:12 - 06:46) Pam argues that plants are not just alive but conscious beings capable of communicating with us through vibratory resonance (light and sound). She emphasizes their essential role in sustaining life—providing oxygen, food, and medicine—and warns that our disconnect from them is dangerous. Jason references scientific studies showing plants responding to music and words, sparking a discussion on how everything vibrates, including humans and plants.   2. How to Communicate with Plants (06:46 - 13:14) Pam explains that plants fine-tune their resonance to us more effectively than we do to them because they are simply themselves, undistributed by human distractions. Practical tip: Be present with a plant, let it choose you (via attraction, movement, or intuition), and notice the sensations it evokes in your body (e.g., tingling, softness). She introduces biophotons—particles of light at the nucleus of our cells—that create a "laser" of coherence for two-way communication with plants, even across time and space.   3. Plant Initiations and Healing (13:14 - 18:06) Pam contrasts chasing external spiritual practices (e.g., gurus, crystals) with the power of "backyard weeds" like mugwort, which can heal us deeply through symbiotic connection. She shares a story of poke root appearing in her Vermont garden in 2020, a potent immune-supporting plant, as an example of nature responding to human needs. Plants show up where they're needed, offering gifts we often overlook due to our lack of attention.   4. The Wound of Separation (19:11 - 22:22) Pam traces humanity's separation from nature back 12,000 years to agriculture and empire-building, which led to an "amnesia" of our interdependence with the land. This original wound has cascading effects: separation from self, others, and the planet, resulting in widespread illness and disconnection. Biophilia—our innate love of nature—underscores how we're designed to live closely with plants.   5. Uncomfortable Truths and Nature Evolutionaries (22:58 - 26:17) The biggest lie we tell ourselves: Humans are the "crown of creation" and more intelligent than nature. Pam challenges this, citing Darwin's coerced narrative and nature's model of cooperation over competition. On her website, wakeuptonature.com, Pam calls us to become "Nature Evolutionaries," partnering with nature rather than relying solely on technology to "save" the planet.   6. Nature's Communication Networks (26:17 - 33:11) Pam shares a powerful story of a Puyo—an underground waterway portal in Vermont—where she and her husband, guided by Ecuadorian curandera Rocio Alarcon, heard forest spirits sing after a ritual with ayahuasca. She compares nature's mycelium network to the internet, highlighting its efficiency and biomimicry potential.   7. Signs of a Consciousness Shift (33:11 - 37:53) Pam sees plants leading humanity's spiritual evolution, citing the 1960s explosion of consciousness-expanding plants (cannabis, peyote, mushrooms) and modern practices like flower essences and plant initiations. Skeptics miss this hidden sign: Plants have always preceded their animal counterparts in evolution, and they're now guiding us toward unity consciousness.   8. Diving Deeper into Nature (37:53 - 43:23) Unlike spiritual paths that reject the material world, Pam's approach embraces nature as divine, present in everything—not a distant deity. She describes daily "wow moments" (e.g., sunrise walks in Belize) that release oxytocin, the bonding hormone, fostering restoration and connection over stress (cortisol). 9. Healing Through Plants (46:52 - 50:19) Pam cites biophysicist Fritz Popp's discovery that plant biophotons can repattern unhealthy cells' light toward health, offering a cellular-level explanation for plant healing. Beyond science, plants uplift us emotionally and spiritually—e.g., the awe of a redwood forest or the scent of roses—because healing is one of their primary gifts.   10. Mugwort as a Teacher and Soulmate (50:49 - 54:57) Mugwort (Artemisia spp.), known as "Oona, the first herb," moves stagnant energy, aids dream recall (nighttime and shamanic), and reconnects us to our wild, undomesticated selves. Associated with Artemis and the moon, it supports women through life transitions and is a key ally in spiritual healing.   11. Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Projects (56:11 - 58:06) Jason praises Co-Creating with Nature as a timely wake-up call with a heartbeat, inviting listeners to heal themselves and the planet through reverence for nature. Pam previews her work: Plant Initiations: Ceremonies where plants act as elders, guiding us to be "truly human." Offered at Sweetwater Sanctuary and worldwide. Year-Long Course (September 2025): With Emma Fitchett, training facilitators for plant initiations. Online Course: "Co-Creative Partnership with Nature" (8 months).

What if your houseplants were more than just decorative greenery? What if they were… listening? In this Metaphysical Moment episode, Will dives leaf-first into the fascinating world of plant consciousness and emotional energy.Inspired by the infamous 1960s polygraph experiment by Cleve Backster, we explore the mind-blowing idea that plants might be far more aware than we give them credit for—and maybe even tuned in to our thoughts and emotions. From CIA-level lie detector tests on dracaena plants to forest bathing, mimosa memory, and the possibility of a living, breathing consciousness field, this episode delivers a playful-yet-thought-provoking journey into the mystical side of the plant kingdom. So grab your favorite fern, whisper “thank you” to your ficus, and join us as we ask: Can plants feel? Can they learn? And just maybe… can they read your mind?

In this episode, I'm sharing how working with psilocybin mushrooms helped me regulate my nervous system and rewire my brain. I've always had a deep connection with plants, and after years of avoiding mind-altering plant medicine, I recently felt the call to explore mushrooms. The journey was transformative, but not in the way I expected. The visions weren't out of the ordinary for me, but the real change came from how it helped me rewire my brain and nervous system, especially around a relationship I had been healing. It wasn't about the visions—it was about creating new patterns and healing on a deeper level.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 16 of The Paranormal Rundown! The Gang of Nerds is down to a Duo tonight, just Vic and Dave. So we decided to do something a little different (unusual for us, right?!) Vic is going to take the role of the Atheist, Material Reductionist, and Dave is going to be the Everything is Paranormal, God Loving Hippie. The goal was to debate the possible reality of the topic, and maybe choose a winner. We did have a fairly decent list of paranormal topics, but in true Rundown fashion we only got through Consciousness, a little about the Akashic Record, and a shallow dive into Magick. We also dive into an EVP captured on the last episode with Fr. Justin, and discuss EVPs in general. Along the way we bounce around the subjects of Animal Consciousness, EEG Recorded at Time of Death, Higher Levels of Consciousness, Dolphins, PrayTV, Plant Consciousness, Universal Consciousness, Spooky Action At A Distance - SAAADs, Harry Houdini, Psychics vs Mediums, Remote Viewing, Irrefutable EVPs, Magick, Christian Rituals, Magical Contract Negotiation and Fulfillment, and the Crossroads Demon. Hopefully we did the Gang proud. I am almost certain Sky Daddy lover Dave smacked that Atheist Vic down pretty hard...As always, if you have any questions, comments, or you really liked this episode format, please let us know at feedback@paranormalrundown.comIf you didn't like this show, please let us know twice!!Vic would also like to know your thoughts on Cedric and Avalon.

In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, Johanna interviews Monica Nieto: Vital graduate, psychedelic facilitator and integration coach, and founder of Holistic TherapeutiX, a retreat center offering cannabis and breathwork retreats; and Jordana Ma: past Vital instructor and psychological counselor who runs retreats in Peru following the Asháninkan tradition of traditional Amazonian medicine. They discuss their similar paths to psychedelics and healing, the power of plant dietas and fully immersing yourself into nature, and learning to hear your true teacher: the inner healer. They highlight how we've lost the connection to the ecological consciousness within our bodies, and how the plants – perhaps in a self-serving way – have become allies, trying to teach us to heal the web we're a part of and reconnect to nature and ourselves. They discuss: The importance of combining traditional perspectives and Western psychotherapy into a spiritual practice The similarities between yoga and traditional Amazonian medicine Singing as a somatic (and breathwork) practice How things are meant to work in synergy, and the problem with science trying to extract compounds rather than respecting the power of the whole plant Their role models who have inspired them and informed their work and more!

In this Podcast Short, John delves into the topic of plant consciousness and intelligence.

Drawing inspiration from Stephen Herrod Buhner's works, particularly "The Lost Language of Plants," John discusses how plants demonstrate informed decision-making capabilities and can react to human intentions.

What types of entheogens and psychoactive plants were used across world religions? Is it true that marijuana was used in the Temple of Solomon? What is iboga? And what does the use of psychoactive plants all over the world tell us about plant consciousness? In this episode we will discuss plant entheogens and altered states. Obviously, the topic is vast, and can take on many different angles. My perspective is that plants certainly have consciousness that we can connect to and build a relationship with. They are a part of a greater tapestry of Divine creation. We just need to be careful to not miss the forest for the trees — to remember that we are a part of a creation, and that all of it points back to the Source :)

What are the steps to spiritual communication with plants? Do we need to know a lot about horticulture? How do I know if I'm just making it all up?   In this session, I'm sharing a lightly edited recording of a recent Enrichment session I led within The Numinous Network on connecting with and communicating with plants. I'm offering this sneak peek because it's free Week in the Network from Sept 17-23 - listen in to find out more!   Notes   Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness, Pam Montgomery   Communicating with Plants: Heart-Based Practices for Connecting with Plant Spirits, Jen Frey   Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer   The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic: The Parallel Lives of People as Plants: Keeping the Seeds Alive, Martin Prechtel   Edible and Medicinal Flora of the West Coast: The Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Collin Varner   Luschiim's Plants: Traditional Indigenous Foods, Materials and Medicines, Dr Luschiim Arvid Charlie,  Nancy Turner   Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask: Anishinaabe Botanical Teachings, Mary Siisip Geniusz   TNP202 Maeg Keane on Connecting with Jupiter Review The Spirited Kitchen: Recipes and Rituals for the Wheel of the Year   Homework for this Lesson Reciprocity Ask your plant friend what they'd like. Maybe they want to be tended a certain way, maybe they want you to draw them. Stay with the question – at first they might say something like, I want you to take care of yourself, I want you to relax. That's all good to know, but stay with this question of what you can do for them or offer to them until you get an answer that is truly something they want just for them. When you have the gift, present it to them. Spend time in this space, speaking aloud your gratitude. What do you notice in the days after?   Plant Limpia Plant bathing: It can be as simple as placing the plant in water, then sprinkling water on you. After you've cleansed yourself, keep a portion of the water and add to it an equal portion of vodka. Place in a spray bottle to cleanse yourself whenever you need to release energetic build-up (spiritual hygiene) or when you are preparing yourself for ritual (purification). Could also infuse a plant in water that is at least 100F, strain, then keep in the fridge until you want to use it. Add it to your bathwater at particularly meaningful times or whenever you're in need. (Make sure it's not made from a plant that can cause contact dermatitis).   Plant Dieting This is a way to really meld with the energies of a plant over an extended period of time. It will take several days or perhaps even weeks just to prepare all of the items you can with a single plant. Then, once all of the your preparations are ready, you would have a retreat day with that plant, ingesting it in all the ways. You will need to source a good beginner's herbalism book to learn how to make tinctures and oxymels, etc. Some recommendations would be: Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner's Guide: 33 Healing Herbs to Know, Grow, and Use Ava Green and Kate Bensinger's The Comprehensive Guide to Herbalism for Beginners: (2 Books in 1) Grow Medicinal Herbs to Fill Your Herbalist Apothecary with Natural Herbal Remedies and Plant Medicine   To undertake the ritual of plant dieting, first as your plant ally for a good date to enter into this day-long ritual. When the time comes, begin by eating some of the plant, then make a tea from leaves and drink. Then enjoy some tea made from the roots. After that, perhaps later that day, ingest a tincture. After that you might put balm or oil on your body, followed by some essence on your tongue, perhaps some medicine made of honey infused with the plant, then have an oxymel drink or other fermented version of the plant. Finally, do a trance journey to connect with the plant spirit in the Otherworld. Complete your ritual by thanking your plant ally and following any instructions they gave you.   Make a Plant Essence Flower essences carry the energetic imprint of a plant and are meant to be ingested. They address emotional symptoms, not physical.  Below are some basic steps to making a Mother Essence, Stock Essence, and Dosage Essence - some simple basic herbalism so you can work with a particular plant all month and notice how that not only deepens your understanding but also expands your intuitive awareness of this plant and others.  Begin by asking your plant ally when is the best time to make an essence with them. Mother Essence: Sterilize a two ounce bottle in boiling water. Fill a small clean glass bowl with about a cup of non-chlorinated water and place it on the ground beside the plant. Collect a few pieces of the plant and place them in the bowl. In order to preserve their pure essence, do not allow the plant parts to touch the ground. Ask the plant for guidance - is there any additional information they'd like to provide about how to make this essence with them? When the plant informs you the essence is ready, fill your two ounce bottle 40%-50% full with good quality brandy* (consisting of 40% alcohol by volume - ABV). Top it up with the essence water, using a fine mesh strainer to ensure no plant material enters the Mother Essence bottle. Your remaining essence water can be poured back into the ground at the foot of your plant, (and you can also take a sip of it, if you feel it's safe and the plant is edible). Label your bottle as Mother Essence and the name of the plant. Stock Essence: Fill a half-ounce bottle with 60% plain non-chlorinated water and 40% brandy, then add 3 drops of the Mother Essence. Label this bottle as Stock Essence plus the name of the plant. you can use the Stock Essence as a daily point of connection with this plant, trying a single drop on the tongue the morning of one day, noon on another, and night on the next. Journal anything you notice over the weeks, particularly your dreams and coincidences relevant to this plant and its teachings. This stock level of dilution will last at least a year, (some say up to 10 years if stored in a cool, dark place and in a dark glass bottle). Dosage Essence: Fill a clean, sterilized half-ounce bottle with 70% non-chlorinated water and 30% good quality brandy. To this, add 3 drops of the Stock Essence. Standard dosage is three drops on the tongue three times a day for a month. Notice any changes, synchronicities, messages and dreams. The dosage level of dilution will last for about 2 months. After that, gift the liquid back to the plants and soil. *If you would prefer not to use alcohol in your essences, you can use vinegar.  

#48 - Join us for an incredible conversation with Herbalist and Educator Lupo Passero on the power of deepening our relationship with the medicinal plants of our ancestors. In this episode, Lupo shares about her recent experience of traveling to her ancestral homeland in Sicily and how working with ancestral plants helps us connect with a deep remembering of who we are in relationship to the Earth.

Lupo is the Founder and Director of Twin Star School of Herbal and Energetic Studies. For over two decades she has had the privilege to teach thousands of students, in both Asheville NC, CT/NYC area as well as around the globe, the art of energetic and spiritual herbalism.

“Remember, you are not alone as you gather herbs. Birds, butterflies, insects, other animals, and elemental beings may be nearby, sometimes visible and sometimes not.”— DEB SOULEIn this webinar, Deb Soule shares her journey following the southern migration of the ruby-throated hummingbird, and what inspired her. Deb and Pam will also discuss how herbal gardens offer sanctuary for pollinators. Flowering plants and trees, hedgerows and pathways, arbors and benches, altars and bells add magical dimensions into a healing garden. A diversity of plants, blooming throughout the gardening season encourages a diversity of pollinators and birds.. The biodynamic approach that Deb uses at Avena Botanical gardens helps create a sacred environment for all beings that enter the gardens. Deb Soule is an herbalist, gardener, teacher, and author of The Woman's Handbook of Healing Herbs, How to Move Like a Gardener and The Healing Garden. Deb began organic gardening and studying the medicinal uses of herbs at age 16. Her faith in the healing qualities of plants includes a desire to make organic herbs easily accessible to women and families living in rural areas. In the fall of 1985, with her first mail-order catalog and a small selection of herbal extracts and teas, Deb launched Avena Botanicals, an apothecary that now serves thousands of customers. Deb has a special connection to the hummingbirds and has traveled part of the migratory path.Pam Montgomery has been investigating plants and their intelligent spiritual nature for more than three decades.

#40 - Join us for an amazing conversation with Certified Flower Essence Practitioner and Educator Ruth Toledo Altschuler on how the elements, plants, and flower essences offer templates of wholeness that support the experience of coming home to the living world with our whole being. At a time on the planet when the human species has become so disconnected from the experience of the fabric of life, how do we become co-creators with the web of life again? In this episode, Ruth offers profound wisdom on how the elements, plants, and flower essences support the experience of coming into a state of embodied presence. She shares about vibrational medicine of specific flowers including Green Fairy Orchid, Moschatel, and Green Rain Orchid; and the power of being rooted and connecting with the process of inner reforestation. She also offers incredible insight on how for people who are feeling called to become part of the regeneration of Gaia at this time, amazing plants such as Lady's Mantle can help us connect with how to be agents of this healing through our hands and our hearts.

An early connection with plants in Nature and a deep insight into the human psyche informed her practice of more than 3 decades, mentoring individuals through deep emotional healing, integration and empowerment.

Her ease with technology, skills as a photographer / designer, and her deep connection with the healing Archetypes of plants and flowers are a channel through which she brings Nature forces to infuse our inner and our digital world with healing beauty and integration, in times of polarization and fragmentation.

Plant Spirit Communication is a practice that can be a powerful tool in one's arsenal of working with unprocessed trauma, challenging times and shadow work. In this episode you will learn: What Plant Spirit Communication is and exactly how it works. Why this potent practice is worth doing and how it can support you. How you don't have to work with plants physically to benefit from them and how to do so.  How & why working energetically with poisonous plants can be a venue for healing shadow work and allow us to know ourselves even more fully. Concrete ways to build your intuition. This practice ends with a short, lovely guided meditation where you will meet a “poisonous plant!” Show Notes: The internet has been impactful for the modern mystic in positive and negative ways. It has been an expansive well for deep teachings. Yet there are so many out there one has to sift through charlatans for the actual deep teachings is what everyone is looking for. Kali Yuga Age is the Sanskrit term for this era we live in of mass suffering at huge levels.  To not look at these things is to deny aspects of ourselves as we are all connected so we feel what's going on in the world in subtle ways. Imperative to not only focus on light and love. If only focus is on life's suffering, it's neurotic just like to only focus on light just highlights some wound within self.  Kathryn shares about her background and path which led her to becoming a plant communicator and educator. Poisonous plants can teach us about alchemizing toxins into medicine. They are mystical and excellent for doing trauma work, they clear away things and good for shadow work. The benefits of learning how to work with plant communication and then the boons of working more specifically with poisonous plants are discussed. The times when things are falling apart, can be great opportunities to learn about yourself the most and drop into what potential is being offered here. Wrathful deities snap us out of our delusions, burn away confusion and reveal how we are not living the life we truly want to be.  Plant Spirit medicine idea, theory and practice holds that everything has morphic resonance and fields. When an individual's vibrational field and a plant's vibrational field overlap, plant medicine happens. They run through our unique thought systems.  If you connect with rose, you might get these messages: elegance, boundaries, venusian qualities. If you connect with psychoactive hallucinogens, you get a very different effect. Plants will hold us in difficult feelings with the energy of, “This is ok, this is even normal and natural. And if you stay with us, you can really become more yourself.” Working with plants on an energetic field works on subtler layers of Self, less dense but no less profound. How to initiate plant communication is discussed as is how to build your intuition. Short meditation connecting to a poisoness plant.

As I reviewed the episode where I reflected on this year and created a vision for the New Year, I realized that I barely touched on business. There's been a lot of unlearning and uncertainty in this area for me in 2021. The linear expectations of success have been replaced by a moment-by-moment, intentional co-creation with Source.  There's no certainty. No blueprint. No assurances.  Within the void, there's a lot to explore. In this episode, I share my process – not as someone who's got it all figured out, but someone who's in the midst of creating a whole new way of showing up in the world.  Instead of achievements - like I would have a year ago – I share 11 energetic blueprints that I took away from all my experiences related to business in the past year.

In this episode of Majestic Wisdom Podcast Heather co-creates with the plants! Originally released by HerbRally, for this podcast, Heather listened in to what the plants had to share about working with their consciousness, how they help develop your intuition, and what this all means for healing individually and collectively. Heather also offers a guided meditation that you can do outside, with a physical plant, or inside, calling on the energy and spirit of that plant.

About Lopa van der Mersch:  Lopa van der Mersch is many things: Serial entrepreneur. Mother of two. Sustainability advocate. TEDx speaker. Recovering cult member. Three years ago, she added a new chapter: Founder and CEO of Rasa, the adaptogenic coffee alternatives revolutionizing people's relationship to energy.  2015 was what Lopa now calls “her own personal 2020” — she left a cult, had emergency surgery while pregnant, lost a family member, and had a traumatic birth. Beaten down and exhausted, she needed a source of energy that could sustain her without burnout, crashes, or jitters. What she needed didn't exist, so she worked with a clinical herbalist and Rasa was born: adaptogen-rich blends that nourish & energize while providing enough rich, roasty flavor to convert even the most devoted coffee fanatic.  What started with a mom elbow-deep in herbs in her kitchen is now a movement, with triple-digit YoY growth and over 100K customers worldwide.

It is our relationship to food that keeps us connected and bound to the life force of the plant kingdom, where the 5 elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether continually exchange energy, transmuting into each other to create atoms, molecules, minerals, foods, and other life forms.How do we feed ourselves and honor the relationship with Mother Earth and all her living beings?  We can behold the genetic blueprint of a seed that follows its cosmic destiny in the cycle of natural forces. When this seed is fed by the minerals of the earth, watered by the heavens, warmed by the sun, and pollinated by the birds and bees we have already followed a miracle of life-giving nutriment. All of this can be an invitation for us to develop a profound relationship with the food we eat and how we live our lives. Come and join Laura for an enlightening, engaging conversation about food and life in her kitchen. No previous cooking or gardening experience required, only an open mind and heart! She will be sharing seasonal recipes that engage all the elements while honoring the divinity that lives within us all.  Visit our website for Laura's printable recipes https://www.natureevolutionaries.com/teleseminars-1/2021/plant-consciousness-food-you-with-laura-parisiAbout LauraLaura Parisi is a Food Shaman, Holistic Health Coach, Gardener, Artist, and Energy Healer.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the beautiful Stina Faye (@bystinafaye). We talked about everything from multidimensionality, magical past lives and plants as vibrational remedies. Listen in to find out how we can personally heal, connect and receive messages from plants and flowers, how to incorporate flower magic into our daily spiritual routine and how flower essences can help guide us through different emotions while supporting our awakening process. You can purchase Stina's magical and wonderful creations at www.faeryessence.com or on Instagram @faeryessence.

 “Once you have a relationship, it's the same with a person. You can bring a person to mind and connect across time and space, and that's the same thing with the plants and with the  remedies. We have many tools with which to work, but in its purest form we have that direct perception, direct communication.” ~ Jemma Foster In this episode Amisha climbs aboard the good ship Xanadu to meet with forager, chef, and plant alchemist Jemma Foster. Jemma stepped out of a career in journalism to train in vibrational healing and plant medicine, after becoming fascinated with quantum physics and the vibrational nature of reality. Jemma walks us through the tapestry of interwoven healing and medicinal modalities that make up an experience with Mama Xanadu - from astrological botanical elixirs infused with planetary sound frequencies to private musical performances from plants - and explains the origins and intentions behind each element. She shares some of the latest research into plant neurobiology and introduces us to a breathtakingly beautiful technology that allows us to listen to what our plants have to say and track how they respond to the changing environment.  Links from this episode and more at www.thefutureisbeautiful.co
