This year’s full schedule of activities is continuing to be unlike any other in our history, with each event focused on Young Living’s transformation. Please join me at these powerful gatherings! Our crown jewel is the International Grand Convention, being held in Salt Lake City, Utah, June 26–30. The surprises and unveilings we have ready for you this year are monumental. Come join in the excitement! You will witness firsthand our optimistic and aggressive vision for the future and experience exactly what we mean by designating 2012 as the year of transformation. You will see Young Living like never before. In addition to the International Grand Convention, this summer is filled with many other exciting events. In May, Young Living’s beautiful and vital farm in Simiane-la-Rotonde, France, will undergo a major face-lift during its lavender planting. After two years of drought, the familiar Young Living purple will once again adorn the French hillside and return the farm to its former glory, enshrined with stunning lavender. Two months later, in July, all distributors are invited to come to southern France to celebrate the farm’s 20th anniversary with my family and me. This will be an unforgettable week, culminating in a day of farm tours and trainings in Marseille. After France you better buckle up as July kicks into full gear with Lavender Days at the Whispering Springs Farm in Mona, Utah. During Lavender Days we will foster a healthy lifestyle with our popular 5K and new half marathon through the lavender fields—a most breathtaking experience. Then, it’s off to St. Maries for two wonderful weeks of the melissa and lavender harvests, which will end with the Silver Retreat and the 20-year celebration of the St. Maries farm. Join us for this great time of great transformation

The monsoon season is finally over in Ecuador, and the reservoirs on the Young Living farm are filled, providing the farm with all the water it will need through the summer. As a result, dorado azul, red geranium, and lemongrass are all coming back quickly. The ylang ylang crop has doubled in size, and the rice bed is approaching full growth and is ready to harvest. The NovaVita Clinic & Spa is complete and in operation, and 11 Ecuadorian oils are now being bottled on site.

Field preparations for peppermint are underway at the Whispering Springs farm, and more than 60 acres will be planted there in April and May.

St. Maries Farm Celebrates 20 Years This year—2012—is a hallmark year for Young Living, not only for transformation but also for accomplishment. Like the Simiane-laRotonde lavender farm, St. Maries farm in Idaho is celebrating 20 grand years, with festivities from July 11 to August 11. The St. Maries farm is where the farming and production of Young Living oils really began and is where Gary Young built the first distillery from logs that he cut and put in place. He was the first in all of North and South America to develop a farm in Northern Idaho for the production of lavender, clary sage, melissa, thyme, and wild tansy. The farm has grown from 160 acres of land and 30 acres in crop production to 410 acres of land with 360 acres in production.
Gary built the first vertical, stainless steel, low-pressure distiller in the world at a time when mild carbon steel was all that was used in distilleries throughout the world. No one before or since has built farms and distilleries around the world to ensure or preserve quality and integrity of pure oils. Anyone can claim quality, but unless they produce it, they do not know the integrity and honesty of the distillation or the purity of the oils. During the celebration, melissa, and lavender will be harvested, and all those who are there will be able to participate in the Seed to Seal™ process. There will be classes in the evening, whitewater rafting, crafts and games, camping under the pine trees, visiting the giant cedar forest, and best of all, sitting around the campfire eating great food and harmonizing in song. Stories of long ago come to life with the powerful energy and spirit of the immense pine trees and the oil they produce. Be part of this wonderful time of great reflection, gratitude, and camaraderie that can only be realized at this Young Living event. Mark your calendars and visit www.youngliving.com frequently for more information and updates.
