Each of the songs on Singing Green: Songs From the Plant Spirits, was channeled from a particular group of plants in one of the four seasons of the year. The language of the plant spirits carries the message of the plants and the vibrational healing they carry. Each song and each plant group has a message that Leontine experienced while channeling the songs.
During four recording sessions at Earthdance Studio's large umbrella barn in Plainfield, MA, Leontine would begin in prayer and meditation, aligning her energies and calling to the plant spirits to bring their healing songs and messages through her. Then she would wait for a brief period and be drawn in a shamanic journey to a group of plants and the song of those plants would begin to flow through her. While singing in spirit language of sounds and tones, Leontine would understand the message from the plants and feel their blessing through each song.
Shamans and healers have sung the songs of the plants, rocks, elements, the ancestors and helping spirits since ancient times to connect with the healing vibrations and wisdom of the spirits of all of life that are here to help and support us humans on our souls' journeys. The songs of the plant spirits have been important for healers to know so that the energies of the plants can connect with us to heal us. By listening to these songs on Singing Green, you can benefit from the healing power of the plants that share this planet with you and want to help you be in balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit.
1. Alpine Flowers: Summer
“We give our lives for you, to make this beautiful garden on earth. We create an energy that weaves with all the pure energies of the planet. Appreciate us, we love you! All plants are here to help you to know who you really are – Divine Blossoms. We sing as our gift to the world, to you.” - A message from the Alpine Flowers speaking for all plants.
This is the song of a summer high alpine meadow of flowers high above the tree line in northern Montana. The message from the Alpine Flowers continues:
" We will tell you our story. We bloom , even thought no human sees us, because the vibration we create is a very important part of the matrix of light energy in this garden of earth so that you souls of God can actualize yourself. Our seeds are ancient and bloom here brought by the wind. We grow where we have grown for centuries in the places of our ancestor seeds. Each of us is part of the family. Each one of us gives off a beautiful vibration with our composition and color. Each flower family sings in this meadow high up on the mountain." You too are part of this family.
2. Ripe Grains and Grasses: Autumn

3. Red Maple Leaf Journey: Autumn

4. Orchard Celebration: Spring

5. Song of Rosa Rugosa: Summer
In the full light of a mid-summer sun, Rosa Rugosa, know by the common name Beach Rose, extends its rosy petals emitting its delightful fragrance into the air. Delighting in its life, in its existence, it knows the beauty it contributes to the world. When the rain falls, it drinks it in, deeply enjoying the nourishment and the shift from hot sunshine to cooler rainwater and clouds. The message that if we live like the rose, enjoying what comes, blooming in our uniqueness, knowing we are a beautiful sweet part of a greater whole, is the gift of the beach rose for us. Live as the sweetness you are, open to the sun and the rain, don't hold back. Live!

Imagine them singing how much they love you, how you too can blossom with color and fragrance, with joy and uninhibited delight.
10. Eastern Tree Canopy Song: Late Summer
The tall trees of New England sing a song of their community, their undulating canopies of foliage sliding over the hillsides and mountains, along the lakes and rivers, across the sides of meadows and roads.
