Please join us and our guest, Pam Montgomery, for a show on Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation, a model for developing a co-creative partnership with all life. 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—human and nonhuman—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 explain that it is our human birthright to be a part of 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, Pam demonstrates that we are intrinsically created to be in relationship with Nature. She offers six principles of developing a co-creative partnership, explaining that we can communicate with Nature through vibratory resonance. We learn that when we nurture ourselves, trust our intuition, and allow for joyful encounters, we restore our interconnection with all life. Pam details the steps of co-creating an initiation with a specific plant ally where bonding brings healing. 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.

Please join us and our guest, Neil Douglas-Klotz, for a show on The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days: 40 Days of Contemplation and Revelation. Through expansions of Aramaic's multiple meanings as well as guided contemplations, The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days shows how the deepest teachings of Jesus address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other, as well as the purpose of life itself. In short chapters, the book takes up life themes facing contemporary readers and offers meditations to address them. Each chapter is introduced with a short saying and keyword of Jesus, heard with "Aramaic ears," and then proceeds to show how this applies to a life issue today. This book offers a unique perspective on Jesus's teachings that can help you to connect with them on a deeper level and live a more authentic, fulfilling, and compassionate life. Neil shares personal relevance about how the words of Aramaic Jesus’s teachings have changed his own life—his sense of love, purpose, and relationships—and more importantly, how they can heal and enliven the daily life of everyone.

Neil is an internationally known scholar in the fields connecting religious studies (comparative Semitic hermeneutics) and psychology as well as a poet and musician. He is the author of Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus, Prayers of the Cosmos, Desert Wisdom, The Hidden Gospel, and The Genesis Meditations and coauthor of The Tent of Abraham with Sister Joan Chittister and Rabbi Arthur Waskow.
