October Meeting
 
MHCC 3-Prong Approach
 
  1. Heal Personally: Don't have time for a formal meditation practice?  How about 3 minutes? Try
    "The Balance Layer."  This layer will help you enjoy a sense of acceptance, collect pieces of yourself making yourself whole again, create a benevolent experience for all involved, and cultivate peace in mind, body, emotions, with humanity, your culture, and Mother Earth & Father Sky.
    Mudra: Both hands in fists, stack right hand on top of left so right thumb rests atop left. Mantra: "aaaahhhoooohhhhmmmm"
  2. Grow Professionally: We learned how to take Power Partners to a NEW Level. See "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.
 
To all who believe in a holistic, natural approach to health and healing, the Manhattan Holistic Chamber of Commerce (MHCC) is a supportive, conscious community that offers you lasting like-hearted interconnections to grow your business while doing good...in  this time of unprecedented crisis that demands collaboration and heart.  

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

To meet like-hearted people and experience the energy of our meeting first hand, we hope you will come to our meeting next month. Details below.  

A synopsis of August's meeting:

  • What we heard, "...very transforming.  I'm so glad I came. It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone." AND "I felt the evening was more like my yoga and meditation class than your typical networking event. I felt calm and centered." AND "...I am inspired by the people, the presentation, the warmth, the sense of community...only amazing things are happening!" Need we say more?

  • We love offering options and each month provide great networking questions to replace the old, ineffective “What do you do?” Like asking, "Who are you?" or "As a child, what did you want to be?" You can learn a lot more about a person.
  • Our speakers Michele Risa and Naketa Thigpen took Power Partners to a whole new level. Read more in the "Monthly Expert Gems" below.
  • Our regular “Resource Exchange,” has been expanded to include our "Member Spotlight," "Raving Fan Club," "Power Partners," and "Give & Receive Help."  What are the benefits?  You share what you do and who you are, generate testimonials, create powerful partnerships that exceed what you could do alone, and give and receive help from a generous community. Want to have your own Power group? Contact me. Open to members and non-members. 

  • Our Monthly Gift is inspired by our sense of oneness, caring and our hearts. It includes the quote written at the top of this newsletter.  As John F. Kennedy said, "...the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."  We aim to help you do just that. Want our collection from past months? Happy to email them to you.
    ​​​​​​​
  • Thank you for your over-the-top enthusiastic feedback. Next month we will be treated to insights from Oriya Pollak and Michele Risa, "Love Story."
We’re committed to helping you THRIVE and getting all of us a greater presence at the healthcare table and in the business world.  Are you with us?  Hope to see you at our next meeting.


Here’s to us bold innovators!
