About The Stewards
Anita Felice and Anthony Becker
Stewards of the Ananda Archive at Ananda Legacy™

Anita Felice, Eric’s widow, now carries this work forward as its steward.
She understands the archive from the inside. Anita worked alongside Eric for years — studying, blending, evaluating oils, and helping build the work that exists today.
Her role is not to recreate what Eric did. It is to preserve the standards he established and allow the archive to continue serving the people who never stopped asking for the knowledge.
Anthony Becker supports this work as Anita’s partner in life and collaborator in stewardship. His role is practical and steady and helps make possible the careful continuation of a body of work that requires patience, discipline, and a dedication that comes only from within.
In time, the work found its way to Southern France, in the Haute Corbières.
What began as a pause became a place to continue — closer to the growers and distillers Eric had already begun building relationships with. That proximity has made it possible to continue those relationships directly, with the same care and familiarity he valued.
With Anthony’s roots in France, and a small, trusted circle in place in the U.S., the work now moves between both quietly, and with continuity.
Together they tend the archive with the same principles Eric embodied: care discernment, and respect for the intelligence of the plants.
The community asked for this to continue. And so.... it continues.
If you were with us from the beginning, Thank you for helping us bring Ananda back. Without your unwavering support and nudging, this inspiration would not be possible.
