Flower Essence Society

The Flower Essence Society unites an international network of flower essence practitioners, researchers and educators, led since 1980 by professional partners Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz. Its stated purpose is uniting the soul of nature with the soul of humanity through flower essence therapy, and its work spans plant study, clinical research, in-depth educational programs and humanitarian assistance.

The society's professional apparatus is deep. Members access the online Flower Essence Repertory, the field's standard reference, and the FES International Research E-Journal; the society runs certification-track training programs, publishes research on flower essence therapy, and supports international humanitarian relief with flower essences for populations in need. Its education arm teaches the systematics of the 100+ FES North American flower essences alongside the English and traditional lines.

Based in Northern California, the society publishes the repertory as a book, maintains a practitioner network, and frames flower essence therapy as an emerging holistic practice for self-care or work with a therapist toward self-awareness, emotional balance and alignment with life purpose. It is the professional counterpart to the Bach line and the field's research institution. The institution's stated mission: Uniting the soul of nature with the soul of humanity through flower essence therapy.
