December Meeting
MHCC 3-Prong Approach
  1. Heal Personally: Bring hands to center of chest, tips of each finger touching other corresponding fingertip.  Fingers point up. Leave a space between palms. Breathe 4 breaths per minute: inhale 5 sec, hold 5, exhale 5.  All thru nose.  Eyes gazing at tip of nose. Time: 11 min. End: inhale, hold 10 sec, exhale, repeat 3 times.
  2. Grow Professionally: Social Media offers an effective way of reaching many people.  See our "Monthly Expert 'Gems.'"

  3. Build Community: Using our approach to networking, people will know you, like you, and trust you. This can translate into 27 million relationships! For more information, come to our next meeting. Details below.
Manhattan Holistic Chamber of Commerce (MHCC) is offering a unique opportunity for innovative healthcare education and distribution.  We offer you an opportunity to be part of an historic moment that will shift Manhattan consciousness- and then the world- about Integrative Medicine.  

During this challenging, turbulent time, we send our compassion and love to all beings for health and healing.  Each attack is on all humanity and Americans- and the world- must come together to stop the madness. We must remember that there are more of us seeking light than seeking fear.   

We are among the light seekers: Integrative Medical Doctors, Integrative Holistic Dentists, Integrative Podiatrist, Homeopathist, Chiropractors, Psychotherapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturist, Coaches and Body Workers- from Rolfer to Massage to Physical Therapist...dedicated to heal personally, grow professionally, and build community.

Once again, we tried to capture the energy in our collage.  To experience the energy first hand, we hope you will come to our meeting next month. Details below.  


Here’s a synopsis:

  • As a result of the many interactive activities provided, people were meaningfully engaged with each other. We heard, "...I have to say I got inspired and motivated to do more for the work I do and we all do."

  • We love offering options and each month a new set of questions replace the old, ineffective “What do you do?” You can learn a lot about a person after asking, "What do you turn to when you need a pick-me-up?"

  • Our speaker, Jacqui Somen gave a value-packed presentation, “How to Navigate the Social Media Landscape." Be sure to read our Monthly Expert “Gems” below.
  • Another high point was our “Resource Exchange” segment where people said what they needed and within seconds other people generously offered to help them. Wonderful examples are below.

  • A new addition is our Monthly Gift.  This month's gift was the quote written at the top of this newsletter.  But don't only read the quotes.  As John F. Kennedy said, "...the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
  • As per your survey, we offered you tools to build Corporate Wellness Programs. We're now looking for speakers on Social Media and Legal Issues.  If interested, contact me. See our Top Ten Topics for more specifics.
We’re committed to helping you THRIVE and getting all of us a greater presence at the healthcare table.    Are you with us?  Hope to see you at our next meeting.


Here’s to us bold innovators!
