About Lila Devi

Lila Devi Stone graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a B.A. degree in English and psychology as well as a secondary teaching certificate. Before developing Spirit-in-Nature Flower Essences, she taught high school English and later ran a group home for developmentally disabled women.

Her first experience in taking a Bach Flower Remedy proved so extraordinary that she began studying the few essences books available at the time. This led to preparation of the first batch of Spirit-in-Nature Flower Essences and the rest, as they say, is history.

Lila lectures nationally and abroad. She brings an expansive view of plants, animals and people to her seminars, radio shows and television appearances. Drawing on her skills as a writer of songs, poetry and plays and on her talent as a musician—vocalist, guitarist and composer—her classes present a refreshing approach to the Nature and an awareness of human nature.

Lila lives at Ananda Village outside Nevada City, California, with her husband and cats.
