Why is the ISHAVIDA Membership free? And why is it password protected?
A few people have asked why I chose this approach, so here is the thinking behind it.
Every new article and recipe is available free of charge to members. Over time, some articles will move into the paid library, creating a growing knowledge base for those who choose to support the project.
This means everyone has the opportunity to access new health and wellbeing information without cost, simply by visiting the membership site regularly.
So why not just publish everything as a free blog?
Because the information I share is the result of many years of study, research and practical experience. It is premium content, and making new articles freely available is a conscious gift to the community, not something I want to make permanently available to the entire internet.
The membership area also creates a more focused environment. It isn't about being an exclusive club; it's about bringing together people with a shared interest in natural wellbeing, sustainable health and practical learning.
There is also a practical reason. Open websites attract large amounts of spam, automated comments and unwanted content, which takes considerable time to manage. A protected members' area allows me to spend more time creating valuable content and less time moderating spam.
I hope you'll join us. Membership is free, new articles are regularly added, and together we're building a thoughtful community centred on better health, informed choices and lifelong learning.
See you inside.
