“Pam Montgomery’s book, Co-Creating with Nature, is a call to deepen our relationship with the natural world by moving beyond traditional notions of stewardship. Instead of merely caring for Nature, Montgomery advocates for a profound collaboration—a co-creative partnership with the living ecosystems around us.
This outstanding book is filled with personal anecdotes, indigenous wisdom, and scientific insights. It highlights that Nature is not passive but active, communicative, and willing to engage with us—if only we open ourselves to listening. The practices she outlines, including contemplation, sensory awareness, and sacred play, are designed to heal the separation we have created. This movement from separation to non-duality sets Co-Creating with Nature apart from other books on ecological consciousness. By collaborating with Nature, we can heal ourselves—a message that feels timely and necessary in our age of separation and crisis.”
Dr. Nisha J. Manek, MD, FACP, author of Bridging Science and Spirit: The Genius of William A. Tiller’s Physics and the Promise of Information Medicine
“Co-creating with Nature is truly a remarkable book in every way, indeed, an incredible gift for the world. Compelling, timely and hopeful, this is a book everyone whose feeling even the least bit despondent or despairing about current situations in the world should read. There is so much wisdom and hope encoded in these pages, but also scientific research, facts and information to satisfy the most questioning of minds along with beautiful imaginary, poems and quotes to ignite one’s imagination. For those searching for a deeper meaning to life and a pathway forward, the author provides practical guidance and tools.
Reading this heartfelt book satisfied my soul in the deepest of ways, most importantly I didn’t feel any separation between ‘them’ and me. Amidst these chaotic times, it renewed my faith that we are capable of healing our wounds and the wounds of the Earth with the help and guidance of Nature and her healing plants. As I finished reading this marvelous wise book the world looked brighter to me. This beautifully written, and utterly important work shows us the way and guides us on the journey."

“Pam’s deeply lived wisdom and exemplary guidance showing us how to enter into an evolutionary and co-creative partnership with Mother Gaia and all her multidimensional and multi-sentient family fills my heart with love, gratitude and joy. Re-membering our interbeing with All Life in a living and essentially loving Universe is surely both the greatest wonder and adventure of our lives and the greatest hope for a New Earth to come."

“If you are looking for one book to help you remember who you are and reconnect with Nature, then Co-creating with Nature is it!
I wept tears of joy reading this inspirational and optimistic book which eloquently describes how we can come into right relationship with all beings and leave behind a thriving planet for future generations. Well-informed, thoroughly researched and packed with heartfelt anecdotes, Pam shares precious teachings from the plants and beautifully describes how plant initiations are a powerful way to build a life-long loving and co-creative partnership with plants, trees and the whole of Nature. Her book is a masterpiece for our times, set to become a classic."
Carole Guyett, herbalist, ceremonialist and author of Sacred Plant Initiations
“A true steward of the plant path, Pam walks us into the wilderness of our own being and opens our senses to a two-way communication with the great mother. Co-creating with Nature is a living bridge, connecting the scientific dots that underlie natural mysticism with such skill that the line between them dissolves entirely. Read with care. These words are an inroad to powerful realms that are still very much with us today.”

“In her newest book, Co-Creating with Nature, herbalist and Earth elder Pam Montgomery brings her passionate commitment and deep sense of purpose to shedding light on the far-reaching effects of the primal wound our separation from Nature has caused. She presents a path forward for us to heal ourselves, each other, and our world by learning to listen to and learn from plants, including some of my favorites, like white pine and wild rose, to reconnect with ourselves as part of Nature and co-create a future that honors and supports all forms of life on our beautiful planet, whom she lovingly calls Lady Gaia.”
Robin Rose Bennett, herbalist and author of The Gift of Healing Herbs, Healing Magic, A Green Witch’s Pocketbook of Wisdom, and The Young Green Witch’s Guide to Plant Magic
"Pam once again takes the lead in sharing cutting edge information regarding our next steps as fully human partners in our living world. Her newest book, Co-Creating with Nature, lays out a detailed, well thought out, journey through the realms of creation many have lost sight of but so desperately wish to reclaim. This helpful & hope-filled book is brimming with insightful connecting narratives and practical activities for walking ourselves into a healthy and balanced living with the world around us."
Tammi Sweet, cofounder of The Heartstone Center for Earth Essentials and author of The Wholistic Healing Guide to Cannabis
"Pam’s book is prayerful and insightful, filled with a joy, reverence and depth that comes from her years of communicating with the spirit of plants and guiding many students and clients. How Pam weaves an understanding of inter-being throughout this book is truly uplifting and a map needed in these times. Her words "We are on the threshold of a tipping point, when raising our consciousness just a wee bit is all it takes to shift the paradigm into one of unity and inter-being” are a healing salve for the soul."
Deb Soule, herbalist and author of Roots of Healing and How to Move Like a Gardener
“Pam Montgomery’s new book, Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation, is not only a profound read but an accessible and enjoyable one, too. In this work, Pam explores elements within the matrix of Nature (Pachamama) and offers pathways for reconnecting with it, enabling us to actively participate in collaborative work with other living beings and Nature.
The book places particular emphasis on plants as our ancestors, illustrating initiation practices with them. These plants, according to Montgomery, have the power to remove our outdated evolutionary and genetic matrix, initiating a quantum and dynamic process capable of triggering epigenetic and regenerative changes at the cellular level. This process aims to help the human species rebuild a natural paradise in harmony with Nature. Thank you for this gem of a book—everyone should read it and rediscover their connection with Pachamama.”
Dra Rocio Alarcon, Healer, PhD ethnopharmacology, Ethnobotanist Iamoe Center, Amazonia Ecuador
"I highly recommend Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation by Pam Montgomery as a transformative read for our modern times. In a world that often feels disconnected, this book serves as a guide to realigning with nature’s consciousness, emphasizing that our bodies hold ancestral wisdom in cellular memory. Montgomery’s approach reminds us of our role in co-creating with the natural world for manifestation and healing. As we face global challenges, this message of living harmoniously with nature feels more urgent and essential than ever."
Rome Shadanloo, Mycology Psychology
"In this important book Pam provides a plant-infused healing balm for these uncertain times. With inspirational personal stories and student experiences, Pam expertly guides us into her deep love of plants and way of being with the more-than-human. Reading this book felt like witnessing the gentle light on the horizon just before dawn, a glimmer of hope for our unknown collective future."
Rachel Corby, author of Rewilding & The Art of Plant Whispering
“Pam’s heart is clearly aligned with the soul of the earth. This book is the plant kingdom speaking through her, offering a clear pathway back to right relationship with the self and therefore with nature. A truly enlightening read.”
Emma Fitchett, founder of the School of Natural Esoterics & author of Journeys with Plant Spirits
“My heart resonated yes, yes, YES! as Pam’s beauty way unfurled across the pages weaving an inspiring tapestry of voices, both human and plant, for healing the wound of separation within the heart of humanity. If you have any doubts about the intelligence of nature, or your own true nature, you won’t after reading this book.”
Lisa Estabrook, Wayshower and Creator of the Soulflower Plant Spirit Oracle
"This book is a powerful reminder of our innate connection to the Earth and the importance of co-creative partnership with Nature. It gently guides us toward living in harmony with the natural world, offering profound insights for those seeking to deepen their relationship with the planet.”
Iris Verbaas, Founder of Nabalo & Author of Elemental Whispers
"The root of herbal medicine has always been having a deep connection to the natural world and the plants themselves, but in this modern world it can feel increasingly difficult to do that. Co-Creating With Nature is a manual to guide us back to remembering that we are a part of Nature as much as Nature is a part of us. This premise shapes our perceptions, morals, pathways to healing and ultimately, practice of herbal medicine.”
Sajah Popham, author of Evolutionary Herbalism
"Pam Montgomery asks us to reconsider our relationship with Nature at a time when it is deeply needed. Her invitation to listen, to breathe, and to learn from our non-human relatives opens up new space for addressing urgent environmental challenges and human loneliness. It is a space filled with wisdom and compassion–and even joy."
Stella Tarnay, Co-founder and Executive Director, Capital Nature; Co-founder, Biophilic DC
"A perfect offering for these turbulent times! Pam’s beautifully crafted tribute to the plant world invites us to rediscover the profound, interconnected bond between humans and plants. Through her tender storytelling and accessible rituals, our imagination is awakened, guiding us on a path to rekindle intimacy and reciprocity with our beloved green kin. This heart-centered book can also be a guide to deepening our co-creative relationship with water, fire, air or earth, or any other aspect of Nature that calls to us.”
Kea Bardeen, a steward of the White Spring in Glastonbury, UK
“A blessing of a book. Pam’s writing shines with what Hildegard of Bingen called VIRIDITAS – the healing power of the Green. It is filled with the wisdom of a REAL herbalist. You need this book!”
David Hoffmann BSc, FNIMH,
author of Medical Herbalism, Herbal Prescriptions after 50 and The Holistic Herbal
"If you've ever found yourself having a conversation with a plant, feeling emotional towards a mountain or hearing whispers on the wind this book is for you.
We are urged to listen very carefully to the primal conversation of plants and join in, widening our community to really include them. PLANT SPIRIT HEALING offers practical ice breakers to establish relationships with our green friends, not just those currently used in herbal medicine traditions, but all plants. Montgomery suggests these willing healing partners have extraordinary abilities most of us have yet to comprehend."
John Seed, rainforest and climate change activist,
co-author of Thinking Like a Mountain, www.rainforestinfo.org.au, www.climate.net.au
"Pam Montgomery lives the way of life she writes about in PLANT SPIRIT HEALING. In this book, Pam's extensive knowledge of plants is conveyed in the context of a wider spiritual path of healing and transformation.
It honors and utilizes her direct intuitive experience as well as her rigorous studies as a highly respected herbalist and teacher. This book is a must for every student of the plant world."
Nicki Scully
author of Alchemical Healing and Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt
"Pam’s new book, PLANT SPIRIT HEALING, gets to the root of this profound way to wholeness – from modern physics to native tradition – then takes us through a growing process of learning and deepening our trust in connections with the loving power of the green world, and ultimately helps us create a flowering of this wonderful way of healing in our own lives and with our clients. In my mind, it is already a classic."

What others are saying about Plant Spirit Healing:
"This is a profound work ... Written with a clarity and depth of understanding that only someone deeply attuned to their subject could master. Pam Montgomery, Herbalist and Plant Spirit practitioner, weaves together indigenous wisdom, modern research, science and quantum physics into a vibrant testament of the sacred and powerful nature inherent in plant medicine.
One of the finest books written on the subject, Plant Spirit Healing challenges the limited perceptions we have of modern herbal and medical practices. But it does far more than that; it teaches one how to open the channels of the sacred that is so important in plant medicine, but that is too often forgotten in our modern healing rituals/practices.
The powerful message transmitted through every page of this amazing book is bound to change our perception of herbal healing ~ and of medicine in general. Written with a fiery heart and tons of experience, Pam calls forth the soul of herbal medicine and rekindles the spirit inherent in the practice of herbal medicine.This book is a great book destined to become a classic."
Rosemary Gladstar, Herbalist and Founder of United Plant Savers
"Pam Montgomery has built a bridge between the spiritual needs of people and the spiritual powers of plants. She shows us how to work with plants to heal our bodies and nourish our souls.
As a spiritual ambassador for the plant kingdom she urges us to view and sense plants in a profoundly deep way that honors their much overlooked spiritual gifts and shows us how to tap into this power for the healing of ourselves and the planet. PLANT SPIRIT HEALING opens a whole new arena for plant lovers and herbalists.
At this time in our evolution, plant spirits can and will be partners in a new paradigm of mutual understanding that might just save us all."
Dr. Rosita Arvigo
author of Sastun and Spiritual Bathing
"PLANT SPIRIT HEALING is a book about communicating with the spirits of plants, and enlisting plant spirits to heal. These are subjects of increasing importance and relevance in today’s world, where ancient shamanism and modern spirituality are expanding our worldview. However, author Pam Montgomery goes beyond these remarkable themes, presenting a portrait or journal of what it is like to live immersed in a Natural World where plants, stones, and locations talk, signal, sing, educate, and heal. PLANT SPIRIT HEALING is an antidote to the modern world, which has been stripped of meaning, spirit, and relationship. Words like love, joy, spirit, and life can be abstractions, but here they are real."
Matthew Wood, M.Sc. (Herbal Medicine) Registered Herbalist (AHG) author of Herbal Wisdom and The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism
"Every soul searching for truth will drink in the words on these pages like a healing potion, whether or not there is experience using herbs. For those who love Latin names and chemistry, this doorway opens us to the power of plants that goes beyond the physical."
Amanda McQuade Crawford Dip. Phyto., MNIMH, RH (AHG), MNZAMH Consultant Medical Herbalist author of Herbal Remedies for Women
"Well written and thought provoking, Partner Earth challenges our usual perception of 'earth as mother' and, by doing so, expands our concepts of health and healing. Chocked full of eclectic healing wisdom and punctuated by the author's personal experieinces, I found this book not only eminently practical, but deeply inspiring. A good stimulating read in preparation for a new millenium."
Rosemary Gladstar author of Herbal Healing for Women
"Pam Montgomery's stories will inspire anyone seeking a closer connection with nature."

What others are saying about Partner Earth
"I've just finished reading Partner Earth for the 2nd time. I was surprised at how much I have incorporated your concept of Earth as partner rather than parent since I first read it 2 years ago. And this reading allowed me to see that it is okay for me to think of Earth as my 'true mother' as well as partner - just as it is okay for Native Americans to keep songs referring to Mother Earth. And as I became a friend and partner, as well as a daughter, to my own mother."
Victoria Weber, May 2007
"Pam Montgomery is a true co-creator and partner with our sweet Lady Gaia. Her words will inspire you to accept the responsibility and reap the rewards of this partnership for yourself. We have, up to now, acted as needy, greedy children of an all-giving Mother Earth. It is vital to the continuance of human life on earth to now accept our partnership with Gaia. I highly recommend Partner Earth; A Spiritual Ecology as a guide to begin this partnership."
Brooke Medicine-Eagle
author of Buffalo Woman Comes Singing and The Last Ghost Dance
"What a joy Pam has written of her experiences, sharing with us her intuitive, zany, profound, and highly effective approach to living co-creatively with the environment. If we have any hope of healing ourselves from the devastation of the 20th century, it lies with strategies like those outlined in Partner Earth, that point us toward an ecstatic return to our ancient interconnectedness with Nature."
