Frequently Asked Questions
Qualifications
Where and when is the Silver Retreat?
The Silver Retreat is held in Salt Lake City, Utah, and at the Young Living Lavender Farm and Distillery in Mona, Utah, USA. It will take place September 29–October 2, 2021.
What are the qualification requirements?
Any Young Living member who has been paid as a Silver for three consecutive months between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, and who has not previously attended a Silver Retreat is invited to attend one time. This reward is offered for one person per membership.
WHAT IF I WAS PAID AS SILVER ONCE BEFORE BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ACHIEVEING SILVER FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS?
Although you have previously been paid at the rank of Silver, you are invited to attend the Silver Retreat based on the first time you are paid as a Silver for three consecutive months.
For example, Dawn was paid as a Silver for the first time in January 2018. However, her three consecutive months of being paid as a Silver were not until January 2021, February 2021, and March 2021. She would be invited to attend the 2021 Silver Retreat, regardless of being paid as a Silver once before, even if it was prior to the current qualification period.

WHAT IF NOT ALL OF MY THREE CONSECUTIVE QUALIFYING MONTHS ARE WITHIN THE QUALIFICAITON PERIOD?
You will be invited to attend the retreat based on the qualification period in which your third qualifying month falls.
For example, Glen was paid as Silver in March 2021, April 2021, and May 2021. He has qualified for the 2022 Silver Retreat. This is due to his third consecutive month of being paid as Silver falling within the 2022 Silver Retreat qualification period.
