Have you ever wondered what it’s like to attend a Young Living live event? If you’ve not been to one before, I’d like to take this opportunity to immerse you in the magic, excitement and inspiration that infuses through these events. 

Young Living AU/NZ ’s 2024 mini convention “THRIVE” was an unforgettable celebration of everything we love about our community, bringing together like-minded people from across the country to celebrate 25 years of Young Living in Australia.

I had the honour of speaking alongside inspiring leaders such as Ben Riley (CEO), Nicolas Landel (EMEA Farm director and Seed to Seal Ambassador) and Sam Bloom (author of “Penguin Bloom”), each of whom shared their journeys and insights with such authenticity.

Their stories, along with those from our passionate Young Living leaders, reminded me why I fell in love with Gary Young’s mission of natural wellness, and why it’s still as alive for me today as when I first started on this life-changing journey in September 1998.

The 90s-themed party was an uplifting way to end the event, with everyone donning their best 90s outfits and enjoying live music and dance! Thrive was an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and build new bonds, all while celebrating the vibrant spirit that makes Young Living so unique.

THRIVE provided valuable, hands-on experiences where we had the chance to explore new products and learn the Neuro Application Technique (a user-friendly adaptation of Gary’s neuro auricular technique), as presented by Kim Thomson.

The overall sense of connection and shared purpose left me feeling deeply inspired and excited for the journey ahead. 

But don’t just take my word for it – here’s what some of our team members who attended THRIVE had to say about their experience:

Joy in the underwear!

This was my first Young Living THRIVE Event.

And my goodness, it’s left me knowing that I am truly Thriving! I’m so ready to try some new ideas and help change others’ lives with oils, just like they did to mine!!

There was so much to take in over the two days, but my favourite part was finally meeting so many amazing people in person and making incredible new friends! 

And my biggest takeaway by far is Artemis’ tip of putting Joy in your underwear drawer!

Celebrating Connection and Community

Like all Young Living get togethers, THRIVE was amazing! 

I am so grateful that I got to share the love with my beautiful friend Kristy. It was her first event and watching her see and feel the beautiful energy and amazing heart that is Young Living was so rewarding.  

I love the buzz of catching up with people I’ve met along the way; the friendships, the community. 

To have so many people in one room that truly just want to help others lead their best life is heartwarming. 

The speakers and entertainment were incredible. I have since watched the movie Penguin Bloom and shed many more tears.

We can all learn so much from speaker Sam Bloom. I just really didn’t want the weekend to end…until next time.

Celebrating Heartfelt Dedication

It’s hard to choose just one favourite moment from THRIVE, as there were so many.

Right up there was watching Sharon Jackson (pictured left) receiving her award for all her many years of support to the Young Living Foundation. 

I was in awe of the amount of money raised at that one event for the abandoned and orphaned children in Vietnam. 

This is a side of the company that not everyone sees. It takes the hearts of people like Sharon to really make a difference. I am just so proud of her.

Vibrant Community

THRIVE 2024: so many favourite moments as this was my first ever Young Living event! 

The utter love that everyone has for the company and its products is probably my biggest takeaway.

It oooozed from everyone! All of the interactions I witnessed were so loving, be it between team members, cross teams or just watching someone inhale an incredible oil. 

My heart was full at the end, and my life is better for being a part of this vibrant community. Oh, and I got a photo with a bottle of Ningxia Red that was as big as me!! Hahaha!!

Incredible speakers

I have a few favourite moments from THRIVE 2024, I really couldn’t pick just one:

1. Listening to the incredible Sam Bloom (author of Penguin Bloom) share her sacred and empowering story of persistence.

2. All the leaders sharing their wisdom, especially Soulla Chamberlain.

3. Catching up with gorgeous goddesses and having real life ‘Mamas in Business’ chats.

4. Having a Transformational moment during Artemis’ talk on frequency. I was brought back home, back to my inner wisdom, this exquisite scent… an innate knowing that all is well and that this is always the most beautiful space to be in. 

Unity and Love

My favourite moment from THRIVE was the sense of belonging and unconditional love I felt as Souls with one heart, one voice and one purpose came together. 

There is no competition between others but just genuine care and love and sharing ideas. 

My competition is with myself and my blockages. I love Young Living and all the Souls who come into the vortex.

(Oh, and for the icing on the cake, I won an incredible oils set as a prize in the raffle!! Such a generous company!)

Uplift your frequency

Nicole B. writes:

My highlight of THRIVE 2024 was Artemis’ talk about the frequency of our Young Living oils.

She played a video of Gary Young, sharing a heartfelt story about a man whose life was transformed by Joy oil. Gary explained how the frequency of this oil filled the man’s home, soaking into the furniture and curtains. It was incredibly moving to hear him describe how this shift in atmosphere

led to a profound change in the man’s behaviour, rekindling hope in a loveless marriage just as his wife was ready to leave.

I am forever grateful to Gary for all his research into more than the physical benefits of the oils, but the energetic effects too. We are so blessed to have these oils to help us emotionally.

There is simply no comparison to our Young Living oils, and I’m so proud to be a part of this awesome company.

Above and Beyond

My take-away from THRIVE was Gratitude….Gratitude for life – being alive, being able to do the simple things we take for granted like walking, breathing and moving our bodies;

Gratitude for Young Living and the many ways they’re working to make the world a better place. For instance, the Young Living Foundation, their commitment to paying and caring for employees, and the exceptional

Seed to Seal process they follow at their farms. I love supporting a company that is actively making a positive impact in the world;

Gratitude for the friends I’ve met through Young Living and the support and love we share for one another;

And Gratitude for being able to learn and grow, for being able to support my family’s health and wellbeing. There are so many things to be grateful for. Thank you!!!
