Young Living Silver Retreat

Essential Oils· Nature· Travel· Wellness

9 Jan

Ahhhh… I just realized I haven’t shared my trip to Salt Lake City, UT for the Young Living Silver Retreat, on the blog! It was absolutely amazing!!! I ventured out on an all-expense paid trip by Young Living, for education and training, September 29- October 2, 2021. This trip couldn’t have been made though, without acknowledging my amazing team and leaders, who trusted me and pushed me out of my comfort zone along the way. 😉

There is one question that I’m always asked…

• w h y •

Why Young Living? Why that company versus others? It’s simple— seed.to.seal. What is THAT? It is a promise. A promise of purity from the moment the seed is put into the ground to the moment the bottle is sealed and sold. A promise that I was able to witness first hand! When Young Living says, “we do not use herbicides or pesticides on our plants; we do not waste water and do our best to reuse what we can; our farms are organic; and our soil is top priority,” I BELIEVE IT!

I saw the sheep in the fields used as weed control + fertilizer. I saw the heat exchanger (for cooling water recirculation) and the floral water pond (for irrigation). Nothing is wasted! I saw the compost (distilled plant material/ waste from farm animals/ grass clippings) for fertilization. I saw the replanting practices. I saw it all with my own eyes, in operation, and even participated in it. And this isn’t the first Young Living farm I’ve visited; I saw sustainable agriculture in practice at the other one, too! And Young Living owns its own farms all around the world, where each are held to these standards.

THIS is the why. The sustainability- thinking of our children and grand-children and the lands they will inherit; the most efficient use of renewable and non-renewable resources; and the protection of public health. But most importantly, the integrity and heart of the company! 💜

Tell us… why did you choose Young Living? Or if not, is your company transparent with their agriculture practices?

Not started yet, but want to, hop on over to Young Living (click here).

The NingXia Red shots were flowing freely! SO GOOD.
Young Living spoiled us with amazing swag!!! This backpack was full fun goodies!!!
Day 2, we ventured to the Mona Lavender Farm for a day of touring and education.
Seeing the steam distillation process first hand is hands down one of the most interesting things to do at the Mona Farm!
I was so blessed to meet this girl right here- Sara! She is from Nebraska and we became fast friends; both attending the retreat solo.
We were treated to a jousting event! So cool!
We also were able to plant our very own lavender plant on the farm! They start them in the greenhouse and eventually transfer them to the fields.
Mary Young was such an inspiration! Loved being able to hear the heart of this company, first hand!
The farm is full of cuties!
This was our group photo- Young Living silvers.
I even got to sit beside Mary Young for the photo!!!
That’s me, fourth from the bottom left. 🙂
Some of our leaders made way to SLC to pour into us! Y’all, I’m seriously so blessed by the team I gained when I joined Young Living.
John Acuff himself, kicking our booties into gear! lol LOVED hearing him speak!
Mary, her two sons, and daughter-in-law– the future of Young Living.
I will always turn to our God-given plants for health and wellness!

Meet Charlotte!

Hey, hey friend! :) I'm so glad you're here! God gives me all the strength to navigate this crazy, beautiful life of mine; and this is my attempt to keep it somewhat documented and organized! My family and I believe we are called to be stewards of the land and try our hardest to live a biblically-based, holistic life.

We’ve had a busy week! On Tuesday, our Classical Conversations, Challenge A class had their science fair, which all the students worked SO hard for! I’ve explained a little more in detail about it over on the blog (link in profile) if you are curious at all about the details or to see more pictures. 😊 So proud of our boy, who charmed the community with his presentation and was voted ‘community favorite’! 😭🥰
