What:
Herbalist Pam Montgomery will be signing copies of her book Plant Spirit Healing at Humboldt Herbals during Arts Alive! on February 6th from 6 to 8pm. Pam has been investigating plants and their intelligent spiritual nature since 1986. She is a founding member of the Northeast Herbal Association and is on the advisory board of United Plant Savers. The author of Partner Earth: A Spiritual Ecology and contributing author in Planting the Future, she is a practicing herbalist and plant spirit healer who offers trainings and treatments from her home in Danby, Vermont.
In Plant Spirit Healing, Pam offers an understanding of the origins of disease and the therapeutic use of plant spirits to bring balance and healing. Indigenous healers and shamans have known since antiquity that plants possess a spirit essence that can communicate through light, sound and vibration. Now scientific studies are verifying this understanding. Explains Montgomery, “What I have learned over the years is that plants are vastly intelligent, multidimensional beings with tremendous capacity for healing at the source level.”
Renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar praises Plant Spirit Healing as “a profound work…Pam weaves together indigenous wisdom, modern research, science and quantum physics into a vibrant testament of the sacred and powerful nature inherent in plant medicine. This amazing book is bound to change our perception of herbal healing ~ and of medicine in general… destined to become a classic.”
Humboldt Herbals is located at 300 Second Street in Old Town Eureka. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 to 6, and Sundays from 11 to 5. You can reach them at 707/442-3541, or at emailus@humboldtherbals.com.
