WORKSHOP OFFERINGS for 2008
| "To
be healthy is to be whole and to be holy. It is to acknowledge
the great goodness that our bodies are linked to the bodies
of other people, to the bodies of plants and animals, indeed
to the earth, the sun and moon, and the other heavenly bodies.
It is to receive the awareness, at once humbling and exhilarating,
that we are a part of Creation, one with all that we live
from and all that, in turn, lives from us." - Wendell

Plant
Spirit Healing joins the conscious intelligence of plants
and humans, generating profound healing through alignment
with the vast network of Nature. We are a part of that organic
web and when we ask sentient plant beings to communicate,
guide and heal us we catalyze our innate potential to be who
we truly are and live more fully engaged in our lives as we
walk the path that is uniquely ours. Extending far beyond
symptomatic healing, it addresses the roots of our physical,
emotional and spiritual imbalances and the source of our dis-ease
by raising our awareness and making broken hearts, exiled
souls and malnourished spirits whole again. Beyond personal
healing, Plant Spirit Healing offers a way for us to restore
balance to the Earth through living in concert with spiritual
ecology and planetary imperatives.

Plant Spirit
Healing with Pam Montgomery
at California
School of Herbal Studies, Forestville, California
Dates:
April 5 & 6, 2008
Plants
are the most successful organisms on the planet and
unlike animals, including humans, have the unique
ability to create food, oxygen and tissue from sunlight.
The latest scientific research shows that they are
intelligent beings who have the capacity to store
enormous amounts of information while being highly
efficient in communicating and making decisions. Indigenous
healers have known this about plants for centuries
and have recognized that it is actually the spirit
of the plants that does the communicating and healing.
During this four day intensive we will explore both
science and traditional knowledge to learn how to
communicate with plants. Through entering the daydream
of the plant and through shamanic dream journeying
we will come to understand the spirit of the plant
and how it can serve as a guide, ally and friend helping
us in our lives with everything from serious physical
illness to making decisions in our lives to bringing
an all around sense of well being.
This
experiential long weekend will include:
-
building relationship with plants through sensual
awareness
-
communication through light, sound and breath
-
stepping into the daydream of plants
-
-
receiving a personal plant ally
-
feeding the plant spirits
-
spiritual bathing with plants to clear auras
-
“greenbreath”,
combines breathwork with plants

Plant
Spirit Healing accesses the conscious intelligence
of plants in order to direct the dynamic nature
of energy. Plants are sentient beings whose symbiotic
relationship with humans gives them the unique
ability to communicate, guide and heal us on physical,
emotional and spiritual levels.
When
plant spirit healing is undertaken you begin living
according to your own true nature. You become
more fully who you are and more engaged in walking
the path that is uniquely yours. As one of Pam’s
clients said, “There’s no room for
Lyme disease because I take up more of the space.”
Plant
Spirit Healing is on the leading edge of vibrational
healing. Accessing Spirit through the avenue of
the green world is one of the easiest and most
effective ways to achieve healing at a root level.
The healing that occurs is not symptomatic, rather

Quail Springs is a 450 acre nonprofit permaculture farm
and retreat situated in a Pinyon-Juniper woodland in
the upper Cuyama Valley, about 32 miles east (as the
Raven travels) of Santa Barbara and 60 miles north of
Ojai, California.
This
once ceremonial land for the Native Chumash tribes
offers the perfect container for the deep and sacred
connections needed for our work. The farm was named
for the spring that gives the arid landscape life-giving
vitality for the growing of trees, myriad plant life,
husbandry of animals, human settlement and visitation.
The year round caretakers steward the land, honoring
its gifts by teaching about what sustains us, the
patterns of nature in the world around us and within
us, and reclaiming culture through relations with
the land and one another.
Quail Springs’ rustic accommodations provide
the opportunity to live closely with the land and
remember our “indigenous souls”.
Accommodations
are indoor dormitory or camping (bring your
own tents, vans or camper trailers). Highest quality
meals will be provided by Quail Springs and local
organic growers. Visit: www.quailsprings.org.
Includes instruction, materials, all meals, camping
or indoor spaces for all 4 sessions plus Pam’s
new book, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working
with Plant Consciousness.
