I recently atteded Gary's seminar in Detroit, Michigan. I was blessed by his gentle demeanor, inspired by his giving spirit and taken with his passion for knowledge of the makeup of living plants.

I look forward to visiting the farm in Ecuador. My husband and I traveled to Ecuador in 2003, hiked through the jungle, climbed mountains and were graciuosly welcomed by Ecuadorian people.

Young Living has assisted me in my practice and in my personal life.

Aloha Young Living friends,
Visiting the farm, clinic, the future school and learning the neuro-aricular were the nuggets of my travels to Ecuador.
Standing deep in the Blue Eucalyptus took my breath away.
I look forward to visiting in the future and taking friends to the clinic.
When I first applied RutaVaLa to clients feet. The smell was not one of the sweet ones they usually enjoyed. However, when I applied RutaVaLa to my brainstem and mastoid process before bed, I was amazed how much I enjoyed the sweet different scent.
Palo Santos is another of my favorite oils. Standing with Gary and the group in the small Palo Santos forest was magical. The devas and fairies abound.
I would love to enjoy a training on the farm. Fresh air, expanded energies, etc.
How about a retreat center on the farm???
Blessings,
Elizabeth

I would love to be entered in the drawing. The trip to Ecuador looks so neat. Being a farmer's daughter, all I could think of was great dirt! What a great environment to grow plants in. What a great opportunity for the people who live there! Hope I win!

Thank you for sharing the video of the Young Living Farm in Ecuador! What a beautiful sight it was. I truly believe in the essential oils and use them everyday - never leave home without them! I would love to experience the RutaLaVa soon. Thank you Gary!

I am fairly new to Young Living. I love all the oils and use them everyday for everything. I love the RutaLaVa also. Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you Gary and Mary for your dedication in producing these wonderful oils.

2008-03-15T06:04:00.000-06:00

I’m currently reading The Food Revolution by John Robbins, (I highly recommend this book, it’s not an easy read for animals lovers, but the truth is amazing!) So my question is, because I was not fortunate enough to go to Ecuador this year, is there any type of conservation measures already incorporated into the farm? It is a plant-based farm so there’s an A+ right off the bat, specifically I would like a description of the watering techniques used (if there are any at all, I do realize this is the rainforest.) John Robbins makes a startling good point about the lack of our ability to renew this planet’s potable water supply.

And thank you for entering me into the drawing, unlike most, I adore the earthy smell of valerian and haven’t yet had the opportunity to enjoy RutaVaLa.

2008-03-14T23:10:00.000-06:00

The trip to Ecuador was certainly an adventure - even if it wasn't quite the adventure we all bargained for! From start to finish, it kept us totally in-the-moment, requiring flexibility and a willingness to go-with-the-flow. As Mary pointed out to us, their experience in Ecuador has done the same for them. They are constantly tested by weather, local critters, and workers with a different sense of time and responsibility. Nevertheless, they persevere - to bring never-before-distilled essential oils to the world. I hope to return to Ecuador once the distillery is finished and the fields are yielding their bounty. It might be nice to be there in the dry season, too :-)

Count me in for the drawing.

Gary's finding treasures in Ecuador is so exciting! I have visited the farm in Utah and I look forward to visiting the ones in Ecuador, France and Saint Mary's in Idaho. RutaVaLa and Palo Santo are adding new dimensions in our YL family and many more are coming soon. Thank you so much, Gary!

Hello Gary. Thanks for coming to Minneapolis. I wonder what you do for pest and weed control on your farms in Ecuador? This can be a very vexing challenge for organic farming. We appreciate the purity that goes into the cultivation of the Young Living crops. Thanks for the high standards being kept.

I would love to be entered into the drawing. The video looks wonderful. Even from here in Washington...far away from Ecuador, I could feel and smell the freshness of the green plants. I would love to learn the NEW Raindrop technique and I cannot wait to get more exciting news and discoveries. Thank you and God Bless :)

It would be interesting to know if growing lavender in Ecuador would yield a more superior oil than even the wonderful ones from Utah and Idaho.......

My husband had to be at the base near Salt Lake for a meeting and I suggested he attend the weekly class at the farm. The "teacher" did a wonderful job and stayed after to answer all questions. She kept her own husband waiting to do this. Wow! Was he impressed with her dedication.

Hi there, I am new to Young Living Essential oils and have just received my kit and am wondering if the new Stress Relief essential oil Rutavalia would be good for a quadraplegic I am working with for stress? I am so eager to get started that I have signed up for many classes. Thanks for putting such great products out for our use. Becky

I am new to Young Living (as of last week!) and am really excited to be a part of it. I can't wait to use the oils. I would love to win the drawing. God Bless to you all.

Gary, Soo sorry I would have loved to go to visit the farm in Equador, hopefully next time. Last night I attended your Mpls, MN city tour 180 miles from home. I love your oils and hearing your devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the conquest of new plants & oils. People helping people in sickness and in health to get well, stay well and live life to the fullest. I'm praying that along with everything you do for the poor people of Equador the good news that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our salvation is also being shared. Barb MCK

I'd like to be entered into the farm contest - I watched the video re: the Young Living Farm in Ecuador and am curious what the tall green plants are shown just after the young boy on the 4 wheeler and just before the words "A Vision" come up, as well as at the very end of the video...?

The process of distilling the plants is fascinating to me. I am new to Young Living. How is this done?
I would love to try the RutaLaVa. I have a severe case of Fibromyalgia.
The pictures in the slide show were beautiful. What an adventure. What other plants grow in Equador that you use? Can you tell me anything about the "new discoveries"?

I love Ruta! The smell is great and my 4 year old doesn't complain when I use it on her or myself!! It's just so relaxing, I put a drop on her brain stem to get her through the tail end of NJ's meeting!!! Thanks Gary! My question is when can a description of the neuro auricular be typed up? Being a massage therapist I'm anxious to use this new technique! I've been probing friends for a demo...

What a gift to have had the opportunity to visit Finca Botanica as the grand finale of the Ecuador Training event. Thanks, Jacob for picking me up on your 4 wheeler for a cruise down the dirt road past the sweat lodge, and mega thanks to Gary & Mary for being willing to relocate to the beauty/power/challenges of Ecuador so that we may reap the benefit of new & improved oils & have access to NovaVita Clinic - you inspire us to greatness!
I noticed many similar tropical flowers to Hawaii growing in Ecuador - any plans to distill some of their luscious fragrances liek plumeria/frangiapani, or sweet ginger blossoms?

What a time we had in Ecuador. To bad the training couldn't have been totally in Banos. Stayed there for 5 days after the event and boy was it wonderful!
