2018 Diamond Retreat

Qualifications start over at the beginning of each qualification period. If a member advances in rank but fails to maintain it, he or she can still qualify for the recognition retreat by being paid at that rank for three consecutive months. The third consecutive month within the qualification period will determine eligibility. Click here for qualification examples.

Registration opens February 1, 2018.

If members qualify for two or more recognition retreats in one year, they will be invited to attend each retreat for which they qualified.

Member must be active and in good standing with the company to redeem the reward trip.

Retreat attendance is non-transferable and not redeemable for monetary or other compensation.

Any branded gear given to qualifiers is available only to event attendees.

Qualifiers who are unable to attend the current year’s retreat can defer their retreat experience to the next year’s retreat of the same rank. Please email recognition@youngliving.com to defer to the following year. The request to defer must be made prior to the event, before the qualification period ends. Please see the FAQ section for more details.

The retreat will be held April 23–28 at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Canada.

Any member who has qualified as a new Diamond or above for three consecutive months between February 1, 2017, and January 31, 2018, is invited to attend at no cost. This reward is offered for one qualifier per membership, plus one qualified guest.*

Depending on availability, members who have reached the rank of Diamond or above for three consecutive months in a previous qualification period may also attend the retreat. Young Living will pay a percentage of the cost of the trip—including travel—for them and a qualified guest* based on the number of months they have maintained their paid-as rank during the qualification period.

*A qualified guest must be at least 18 years old to attend. Guests who are members ranking lower than Diamond may not attend training meetings at the event.

Though you have previously reached and been paid at the rank of Diamond, you are invited to attend based on the first time you qualify as a Diamond for three consecutive months. For example, Joan was paid as a Diamond for the first time in September 2016. Her three consecutive months of being paid as a Diamond weren’t until February, March, and April 2017. She would be invited as a new Diamond to the 2018 Diamond Retreat regardless of being a Diamond once before, even if it was prior to the current qualification period.

The retreat you will be invited to attend will be based on the qualification period in which your third qualifying month falls. For example, Peter advanced to Diamond in December 2016. He was then paid as a Diamond again in January and February 2017. Because his third consecutive month of Diamond falls within the current qualification period, he would be invited as a new Diamond to the 2018 Diamond Retreat, even though his first two consecutive months occurred in the previous qualification period.

Young Living will cover the cost of your flights, housing, provided meals, provided group activities, and ground transportation to event activities during the retreat dates. Incidental costs, such as meals during travel, airline baggage fees, etc., are the attendee’s responsibility.

If you qualify for but are unable to attend a recognition retreat, you may defer your qualification to the next retreat for that same rank one time.

To request a deferral, send an email to recognition@youngliving.com before the end of the subsequent qualification period with your name, member number, rank, and reason for the deferral.

Deferrals will not be granted without proper notification and are not automatic. You must notify us if you do not plan to attend or you will forfeit attendance to that recognition retreat. A second deferral will not be permitted.

Qualifying members may defer their recognition retreat only once per rank. If you defer, you will receive an email invitation to register for the next retreat after new qualifiers are determined.

If you have deferred your recognition retreat attendance after the deadline provided by Young Living, you will be required to pay the deferral fee to attend the next year’s retreat.

If you qualify, you will receive an email with your qualification information and a link to the registration site.
