Co-Creating with Nature

A model for developing a co-creative partnership with all life

• Establishes that being in partnership with Nature is our birthright, explores the roots of our separation, and demonstrates that we are designed to communicate with Nature

• Offers six principles of co-creative partnership with Nature that serve as a map for guiding us back to our rightful place as a part of Nature

• Explains that plants can guide us in living according to our true essential nature and details the steps of creating and facilitating a plant initiation with common plants

We are in the midst of a global transformation where we must heal our separation from Nature and restore our partnership with the living Earth, which is essential to co-creating a world where all life&&&8212;human and nonhuman&&&8212;can thrive.

In this groundbreaking book, Nature Evolutionary and Earth Elder Pam Montgomery draws on her decades of working with plants and Nature consciousness to demonstrate that we are intrinsically created to be in relationship with Nature. She examines the co-opting of time, language, and culture to shed light on the roots of our separation, weaving together contemporary research on human physiology with personal experience.

She offers six principles of developing a co-creative partnership, explaining that we can communicate with Nature through vibratory resonance. She details the steps of co-creating an initiation with a specific plant ally, where bonding brings healing, and she shares evocative stories, meditations, and the healing wisdom gained from the profound plant initiations she and her students have participated in, all with common plants.

Through this book, Pam reveals how to restore our relationship with the living Earth and come home not only to Nature but also to ourselves. She shows that when we nurture ourselves, trust our intuition, and allow for joyful encounters, we restore our interconnection with all life.

“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&&&8212;a co-creative partnership with the living ecosystems around us. 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&&&8212;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 nonduality sets this book apart from other books on ecological consciousness. By collaborating with Nature, we can heal ourselves&&&8212;a message that feels timely and necessary in our age of separation and crisis.”
