As odd as it is for a steem lovin' group to be announcing it's arrival on another blockchain social media, we all know that many of us have our eggs in many baskets, so to speak. There's a lot of very keen Steemians who call Steem their heart - home, their heart-h, but they're also cross posting to Whaleshares as well - for different reasons, and for different experiences.

Natural Medicine has had an account over on Whaleshares for a while, because we want to be part of a decentralised experience of alternative healing communities over the interwebs. However, we've been far too busy building the community on Steem to do anything with Whaleshares. Hive account@riverflows (Hive account@riverflowing on Whaleshares) - i.e me - would need to quit her job to do both platforms, so she's been putting feelers - or flippers - out for a while hoping someone would take on this role.

Last week, good news - there was a huge splash when someone contacted to me to say they'd do it!

Our dear Hive account@trucklife-family and Hive account@samstonehill have decided to run the Hive account@naturalmedicine account over on Whaleshares. They're both passionate about alternative health and healing and are perfect for the job. With the creation of 'pods' on Whaleshares, there's never been a better time to be part of a natural medicine movement on both platforms - so if you're a cross poster, this is absolutely something we think you should know about!

Check out Hive account@trucklife-family's post on Whaleshares here. She writes:

Back in December, Hive account@riverflowing created a naturalmedicine account here on Whaleshares. But because of her busy schedule, that vision she held, of creating a space for people to discuss natural health and natural therapies, to share their healing journeys and healing experiences, never got to happen. Until now that is. I contacted Hive account@riverflowing recently to ask her if she would be open to myself and Hive account@samstonehill, taking over the account and creating a naturalmedicine pod as well. She was very excited and happy for us to do so, of course she will of course be involved as well, it is her vision at the end of the day, but it is also something both me and Sam are very passionate about. Promoting natural health and natural healing, from herbs, to meditation, yoga to reconnecting with nature. So expect to see a introduction post in the very near future where we will talk more about the community and how you anyone who wishes too, can get involved. This post however, is really just about me, sharing my excitement about this wonderful new community that we will be creating on whaleshares and the potential it has in empowering us all to take charge of our own well being.

Exciting times!

Hence we invite you to ensure you use the tag #naturalmedicine for related posts on both platforms!

To make things more consistent across the platforms and make it easier for you, we have made the Natural Medicine footer suit either platform - please see it below. If you're posting on Natural Medicines and are part of our collective on Discord, the upcoming pod on Whaleshares, or you're delegating to our account, you're more than welcome to use that footer on either platform!

Are you on Whaleshares as well?

Have you got a #naturalmedicine post planned for this week? Get involved - we're starting to distribute some tokens soon for active nat med peeps to reward

Don't forget we've got our new challenge happening - check it out here.
