Volcanic Earth

Volcanic Earth is owned and operated by Fresh Change Ltd., a company incorporated in Vanuatu. It’s international headquarters is in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. The company is headed up by two dynamic women, Linda Trenkner and Pam Ryan. Close cousins since childhood, they are both strong advocates of all natural, organically grown products and share in the belief that we are all ‘Å“connected” to the earth’s energy…..the stronger the connection, the stronger and healthier we become.

Located in the beautiful South West Pacific, Vanuatu (formerly known as the New Hebrides) comprises a line of volcanic islands and submarine volcanoes, giving rise to a roller-coaster ride of volcanic activity and tremors as well as occasional tsunamis (tidal waves). Straddling what is known as the ‘Å“Pacific Ring Of Fire”, Vanuatu is situated between Fiji and New Caledonia (about 1,400 miles east of north-eastern Australia) and boasts the most accessible active volcano on our planet (Mt. Yasur on the outer island of Tanna).

Historically, volcanoes were believed to be the dwelling house of ‘Å“spirits” and so these mighty sleeping giants were greatly respected and revered. This strong belief in the spirit of the volcano still forms part of the tradition, custom and mythology in some of the outer islands of Vanuatu. Volcanic earth is ancient earth. It comes from below the earth’s surface and even below the seabed of some of the world’s deepest oceans. This ancient earth houses the secrets of lost civilizations and reminds us that “”to stay in touch with this ancient earth is to stay in touch with the universe and ourselves”".

Vanuatu is also one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is known for its natural waterways, sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and spectacular sunsets. This magical country is an untouched paradise, virtually free of pollution, pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers or insecticides. Everything seems to grow and flourish here in the rich volcanic soils and high rainfalls. Crops are grown organically without the need for chemicals.

It is through the use of real volcanic ash that Volcanic Earth seeks to harness and incorporate the earth’s energy into its flagship all natural skin care range, Volcanic Earth “”Elementals”" and unique “”Ash Clothing”" 9made from 100% natural fibre).

In 2004, Vanuatu was chosen by the producers of the American TV ‘Å“Survivor” Program as the location for its ‘Å“Survive The Islands Of Fire” reality TV series.

The name “”Vanuatu”" means ‘Land Eternal’ and its people are predominantly Melanesian. The Ni Vanuatu have populated these volcanic islands for centuries with more than 115 distinctly different cultures and languages still thriving here. There are also small communities of French, British, Australian, New Zealand, Vietnamese, Chinese and other Pacific Island people living in harmony with the Ni Vanuatu. As such, Vanuatu is recognised as one of the most diverse countries in the world.
