Sometimes a plant gets our attention before we can say why. A leaf catches the eye, a scent stops us mid-step, a garden bed seems to be asking for something.
Plants are communicating with us in more ways than we often recognize, and many of us have learned to move past it at the pace of our days. There is a kind of knowing that begins when we slow down enough to notice, and when we make room for it in our gardens, our kitchens, and our communities.
Herbalist and aromatherapist Kathi Keville joins The Listening Field to explore intuitive connection and collaboration with our green allies. From her herb gardens in Nevada City to her years of foraging, teaching, and tending, Kathi has worked alongside plants in countless ways. Together, we’ll follow those moments of noticing and see how paying attention can turn a passing impulse into a lasting relationship.
Our Green Allies: Intuitive Connection and Collaboration with Plants is part of the 2026 Listening Field Series, ONE's year-long exploration of communication with the more-than-human world.
