Young Living distributors from around the world joined Young Living Founder and President Gary Young for an amazing experience from February 23–March 1, 2008. Participants spent a fun-filled, educational week with Gary and his family in addition to members of the Young Living corporate staff. Attendees visited the beautiful town of Baños, participated in hands-on training, visited Young Living's newest farm—Finca Botanica—in Guayaquil, and enjoyed building and strengthening relationships with each other.

The Best Young Living Event Ever!
While traveling from Quito to Guayaquil, attendees toured a natural eucalyptus forest and picked blue eucalyptus—just a preview of the abundant natural plant life they'd experience in Ecuador. In Guayaquil, Gary shared his knowledge and skill in the use and application of essential oils for improved health and well-being. Distributors took notes as Gary demonstrated the Raindrop Technique® and taught about essential oils and their applications.
Days at a five-star hotel were filled with excitement and learning during. Nights were packed with tours of river walkways and native markets. At Young Living's Ecuador farm, distributors were amazed by acres of growing plants and herbs and first-hand the beauty and development of the farm first-hand.
Many distributors said this was the best Young Living event ever!
More Praise for the Event:
Excited to return home and share what they'd learned, participants had nothing but praise for their experiences in Ecuador. "My motive for coming was that it would be a chance to be up close and personal with Gary. My needs were totally met and my expectations were exceeded. I am so blessed and fortunate to have been a part of such a historic, monumental event, and look forward to sharing in future events," said one participant.
No matter their reasons for participating, distributors were awed by their experiences. "Thank you for your efforts in so many ways to make this conference an exceptional one," said another participant. "It was so special to learn from the 'master teacher.' My notepad is full, so are my brain and my heart and soul."
The tour of the farm was the highlight of the trip for many. "I have gained a gift beyond measure. The farm machinery was a testimony of Young Living in its own right. The distillation units and the fields are beautiful," commented one participant.
Virtually everyone agreed that the experience was first-class and hopes to attend another Amazon Adventure. "Young Living staff and Amazon Adventure team treated us very well. Honestly, they catered to our every need. I could not have been more pleased," said another participant. "It is an honor to work with Young Living and Gary and Mary Young."
