Whole Life Times

Advertising with Whole Life Times

Advertising in Whole Life Times is not simply about buying space. We also use advertising to support people, organisations and initiatives whose work we value, and to build reciprocal relationships that help worthwhile ideas and resources travel through wider communities and networks.

Advertising with Purpose

Connecting readers with people and work worth knowing about

Whole Life Times has long brought together ideas, people, organisations, events, books, educational opportunities, products and services concerned with healthier lives, human development, ecological responsibility and constructive social change. Advertising can be a natural extension of that role when what is being promoted is appropriate for our readership and broadly aligned with the values, purpose and vision of Whole Life Times.

For that reason, we do not treat every advertisement simply as a commercial transaction. Some advertising is offered freely because there are people and initiatives we actively wish to support. Some grows from reciprocal relationships within the WLT community. And some is conventional paid advertising from approved clients whose work we believe is appropriate to place before our readers.

Three Pathways

Ways to advertise with Whole Life Times

Selected Free Advertising

Supporting people and initiatives we value

Whole Life Times offers free full-page display advertisements to selected and approved individuals, non-profit organisations and businesses whose work is closely aligned with our values and vision and whom we wish to support.

Priority is generally given to people and organisations that have already contributed to the wider WLT and Whole Life Universal community — for example through a WLT Dialogue or podcast, or by speaking at a Gaiarcadia Academy webinar, Gaiarcadia Summit or another WLU event.

WLT Ambassadors

Reciprocal advertising and mutual reach

WLT Ambassadors may be offered free full-page advertising where an appropriate reciprocal advertising arrangement has been agreed. Reciprocity may include promotion through social media, an e-newsletter, a website or another approved medium.

The purpose is larger than exchanging advertising space. It is a way for aligned people and organisations to help introduce one another to communities that may genuinely value what they have to offer.

Paid Advertising

Full-page display advertising

Whole Life Times also offers paid full-page display advertising to approved individuals, organisations and businesses whose work is broadly aligned with our values, purpose and vision and is appropriate for our readership.

Because Whole Life Times is published quarterly, prospective paid advertisers should contact us at least three months before the next issue. Each quarterly issue is normally published approximately two weeks before the beginning of the quarter.

Who is a WLT Ambassador?

Helping Whole Life Times travel through networks of relationship

Whole Life Times Ambassadors are people who identify sufficiently with the purpose and values of Whole Life Times that they are willing to help extend its reach through their own networks and communities.

The idea is simple. Each of us is connected with other people through personal relationships, professional networks, organisations, websites, newsletters and social media. Those people, in turn, are connected with many others. A WLT Ambassador helps Whole Life Times travel through these networks by introducing the magazine, WLT Dialogues and other appropriate Whole Life Times activities to people who may find them useful, interesting or inspiring.

There is no expectation that an Ambassador continually promotes Whole Life Times. Rather, Ambassadors can share particular articles, issues, Dialogues, events or initiatives when they genuinely believe these may be of interest or value to people within their networks.

Becoming a WLT Ambassador

Becoming a WLT Ambassador does not require a large following. What matters more is an affinity with what Whole Life Times is seeking to do and a willingness to help connect it with others.

People interested in becoming Ambassadors can tell us briefly about themselves, their interests, their work or community involvement, and the networks through which they might occasionally help introduce Whole Life Times to others. We can then explore together whether becoming a WLT Ambassador is appropriate and, where relevant, whether a reciprocal advertising arrangement might also be mutually beneficial.

Ambassador status does not automatically provide an entitlement to free advertising. Where an Ambassador also has an appropriate organisation, project, business, publication, event or other initiative to promote, a reciprocal full-page advertising arrangement may be considered and approved separately.

Editorial Independence

Advertising and editorial judgement remain distinct

Whether an advertisement is provided free of charge, offered through a reciprocal arrangement or paid for by an advertiser, acceptance of advertising does not constitute editorial endorsement by Whole Life Times. Advertising, sponsorship and other commercial relationships remain appropriately distinct from independent editorial judgement. Whole Life Times reserves the right to accept or decline advertising in keeping with the character and purpose of the publication.

Extending the reach of worthwhile ideas, resources and initiatives

At its best, advertising can do more than promote. It can help create relationships between people who are doing worthwhile work and readers who may benefit from discovering it.
