Our blog is a platform for sharing knowledge, stories, and resources that align with the GHC mission. All submissions must meet the following standards:

1. Mission Alignment

Content must support at least one of these goals:

• Promote holistic wellness, personal growth, or mindful living.

• Share practical, science-informed wellness strategies or traditional wisdom presented respectfully.

• Highlight local practitioners, artisans, events, or initiatives that foster community connection.

• Inspire reflection, self-awareness, or positive action.

2. Tone & Voice

• Warm, respectful, and inclusive.

• Encouraging without being pushy; inspiring without making unrealistic promises.

• Accessible to both newcomers and experienced readers in the holistic space.

3. Accuracy & Integrity

• Information must be truthful and verifiable.

• Health claims should be based on credible sources, research, or clearly identified personal experience.

• Avoid exaggerated or absolute claims (e.g., “cures,” “guarantees”).

• Attribute quotes, statistics, and non-original ideas to their sources.

4. Inclusivity & Respect

• Language should welcome people of all backgrounds, abilities, identities, and beliefs.

• Avoid stereotypes, exclusionary language, or culturally appropriative content.

• When referencing traditional or cultural practices, do so respectfully and acknowledge origins.

5. Readability & Structure

• Well-organized with clear headings, short paragraphs, and plain language.

• Free from excessive jargon — define terms that may be unfamiliar to a general audience.

• Proofread for grammar, spelling, and clarity before submission.

6. Originality

• Submissions must be original to the author and not previously published elsewhere (unless noted and approved).

• AI tools may be used for drafting or editing, but the final work must be original, reviewed by the author, and reflect their own expertise or perspective.

7. Promotional Content

• Promotional mentions of services, products, or events should be relevant and integrated naturally into the article.

• Overtly sales-focused pieces will be considered sponsored content and may require additional arrangements.

8. Editorial Rights

• GHC reserves the right to edit for clarity, style, and alignment with our mission.

• We may adjust headlines, format, or images to suit the platform.

• Submission does not guarantee publication; acceptance is based on editorial review and scheduling.
