October with GHC: Care, Connection & a Community Growing Together
Meet Fox & Honey, explore cozy-season self-care, and join us for the October 11 fair.
OCTOBER 2026 NEWSLETTER

Welcome
A season to reconnect
October invites us to slow down, tend to ourselves, and notice the people and places that help us feel connected. This month, we’re visiting a family homestead in Browns Summit, exploring small acts of seasonal self-care, and gathering at the fair and our network meeting.
You’ll also see an example of what the directory could look like as we shape it together. Your experience can help us make it more useful for the people seeking care and for the practitioners sharing their work.
|
A small October invitation: choose one moment this week to pause, connect, or step outside.

Community spotlight
Fox & Honey Homestead
In Browns Summit, Taylor and Dakota Strickland are building a homestead where herbal wisdom, local food, family life, and holistic wellness meet. Their story is rooted in learning from the land and sharing thoughtfully made offerings with the community.

Self-Care for the Cozy Season
Self-care can be a quieter rhythm, a warm cup of tea, a restorative session, or an adjustment to what your body needs as the weather changes. Meet local GHC practitioners and find approachable ideas for the season.
|
What feels nourishing now may be different from what worked in summer. Give yourself room to adjust.

Business tip
Make your work easier to find
Your directory listing, website, and social pages work best when they connect to one another. Check that your description is current, your links lead to the right place, and visitors can quickly understand whom you help and how to reach you.
|
A useful check: can someone move from your GHC listing to your website, and from your website back to your GHC profile?
|

Website update
This could be you
What if your directory page looked like this? Would it help people understand your work and decide whether you’re the right fit? Design starts soon, and we want your preferences to help shape a website that serves both practitioners and the people seeking support.
Our short survey asks what works now, what feels difficult, and what would make the updated site more useful. It takes about three to five minutes.
|
Make your preferences known before design begins.
