Plant Spirit Initiation
A one-on-one guided month long journey with a plant
What is a Plant Spirit Initiation?
This is a month-long container, where I will guide you to connect and learn from one plant for personal healing, wisdom and initiation.
What does it mean to be initiated?
To be initiated means to go through a process where you learn what it means to be a true steward of earth. It’s a process that alchemizes energies that don’t serve truth and integrity. In essence, initiation teaches us how to be in alignment with our highest self and in loving harmony with all that is. My teacher, Pam Montgomery, says that because there are very few true elders left, we have lost the practices and rights of passage that initiate us into conscious adulthood. Now, the plants are stepping forward as the elders to initiate us into our highest potential.
What’s in store for you
Plants are highly evolved and intelligent beings. They operate outside of time and space and thus know exactly what you need to be all that you can be. The plant who is your “initiator” will provide healing, wisdom and insight to you directly. This will show up differently for each person. I will be your guide and bridge to the plant, helping you access and integrate its wisdom. Ultimately, you will learn to listen directly to your plant ally. This process also opens and expands your intuition and sharpens your psychic senses.
"Indigenous peoples the world over have been able to gather knowledge of plant uses by communicating directly with plants and honoring the sacred relationship between themselves and the plant world." -Stephan Harrod Buhner

How will a plant spirit initiation benefit you in your day to day?
Some examples of benefits I’ve noticed in doing this work are:
Feeling grounded + regulated nervous system
A deeper connection to all nature and the aliveness in all things
Increased compassion, love and patience
Less reactivity, more awareness
Better sleep & a stronger connection to the needs of your body (plant consciousness connects us to our bodies and their wisdom)
Less “ego” and a stronger connection to soul and moving from a place of “how can I serve vs what can you do for me”
A greater sense of “magic” in the everyday and an increased feeling of awe and wonder
More self-honesty and self-responsibility
Enhanced dream experiences and dream recall
My journey with Plant Spirit Healing
Shortly into my first herbalist training I learned that plants and trees are deeply conscious, intelligent beings. Through playful experiments I found that they loved when I sang to them! After a year of herbalist training I took my first trip to Peru to sit with the Grandmother teacher, Ayahuasca. After returning from that profound and life-changing trip, I began to sit in sacred meditation with plant spirits. I called them in with a song, asking for their loving guidance and presence to assist me in my own healing and awakening. This led me to make regular offerings to the plants in my garden and neighborhood. I later learned, during shamanic classes, that offerings were an important part of plant spirit communication and I felt validated that what I had felt intuitively was in fact a long established practice by shamanic people.
I went back to Peru for another Ayahuasca retreat and talked in depth with the people there about the plant diets they did with the Shipibo in the Amazon. I felt deeply resonant with the idea of sitting for long periods in sacred communion/diet with plants, but I wanted to do it with plants that I already knew, plants from my local region. Having already had many profound healing experiences with plants like violet and mugwort and blue vervain, I knew I didn’t need to go to the Amazon to learn and heal from them. But I didn’t know anyone who was doing this work anywhere other than in Peru, so I planned an extended trip there for the summer of 2025.
On the new moon in Taurus (April 2025), through a series of coincidences and following advice from a friend, I ended up in a zoom call with herbalist and plant spirit healer Pam Montgomery. And she told me about plant spirit initiations. People were doing “plant diets” with plants in their local region and without the added medicine of Ayahuasca! I felt the most vibrant yes and immediately canceled my plans to go to Peru and instead signed up for Pam’s year long Plant Spirit Initiation Training.
Sacred plant medicine is right outside your door. Magic is in the plants you’ve known all your life. Nettle, White Pine, Dandelion, Violet, Apple, Oak and Maple. The plants have so much to teach us and I am deeply honored to be a bridge between you and the plants, helping you remember your birthright to be fully and vibrantly connected nature and the plant kingdom.

“A plant initiation is an opportunity to work deeply with a plant or tree, where we not only receive personal healing but also become bonded with the particular plant and receive the plant’s healing gifts, which we can then apply in our work with ourselves, others or the planet. This form of intimate sharing with a plant allows for us to receive guidance on many issues, open doors of perception, undergo healing on all levels and expand our consciousness.”
