Holistic Chamber of Commerce Fosters Spokane’s Wellness Community by Sheila Julson
F
or the past decade, the Holistic Chamber of Commerce (HCC), a member focused, international trade organization, has connected and engaged holistically-minded professionals, practitioners, business owners and resource providers. In February of 2019, Natural Awakenings publisher Amber McKenzie re-launched the Spokane chapter of the HCC to advance the vibrant community of holistic wellness providers and businesses offering natural and sustainable products and services throughout Spokane and North Idaho. The HCC is one of the few organizations tailored specifically toward practitioners of holistic modalities and healing
specialties, and providers of organic, eco-friendly and socially responsible offerings. With 65-plus chapters throughout the United States and Canada, the HCC offers a depth of resources that helps its local chapters like Spokane excel. “Our local Spokane chapter currently has 32 amazing member businesses in the Inland Northwest region, and we look forward to expanding even more in 2020,” says McKenzie. “In January, we’re launching a weekly podcast titled Holistic Northwest Living where we’ll be interviewing local member businesses as well as holistic partners to learn more about what it means to live holistically while featuring all the amazing work going on in our community.”
McKenzie adds that the networking group has a dynamic leadership team that is creating goals and coordinating meaningful education events and community partnerships for 2020. “As a community of local holistic businesses and business service providers, we’re dedicated to creating authentic connections, collaborating and making a healthy difference in our community,” emphasizes this enthusiastic community leader. “One of the many ways we accomplish our goals is through our quarterly Resources for Wellness Education Events, each centered on a specific theme.” The events include guest speakers and opportunities for members to set up

TIDYING UP THAT BUCKET LIST Deciding What We Really Want
M
by Carl Greer
any people have a bucket list of things they want to make sure they experience in this life. Tidying up that bucket list when it no longer reflects a person’s values and deepest desires makes sense. When reviewing our bucket list, we might feel inadequate or embarrassed because we haven’t accomplished what we thought we would. It’s okay if a goal is no longer as exciting as it once was. Guilt, frustration or embarrassment about what’s been lingering on a bucket list for years might be signs that it’s time to dream different dreams. What’s on a bucket list might have been based on a need to prove ourselves to others. If we no longer feel the need to impress people or win their approval, we can move on to new goals. Maybe our family has always talked about traveling to the land of our ancestors as an important thing to do someday, but we don’t feel the same way. We might prefer to travel someplace where we can swim with dolphins or meet people from a completely different culture than our own. Releasing the weight of having a bucket list heavy with other people’s expectations can help us feel much lighter. Maybe those bucket list items still spark some excitement, but it’s time to
change the form of the experience. A goal to write a novel might turn into a goal to write our life story and turn it into a book. A goal to marry again might become a promise to ourselves to enjoy life with a new romantic partner, regardless of whether that leads to marriage someday. As we go down our bucket list reviewing each item, we can acknowledge which goals still inspire us and which make us feel dispirited. Tidying up a bucket list written in the past can be a good exercise in becoming more conscious of what we want to experience and why—and what dreams we are ready to release—because we have new aspirations now. If we’re spending our time doing what gives us a sense of vitality, happiness and well-being and there is something we haven’t done that generates a feeling of joy and anticipation, it should go at the top of our bucket list—and we should find a way today to start making it happen.

Jung Institute of Chicago and is on staff at the Replogle Center for Counseling and Well-Being, in Chicago. Learn more at CarlGreer.com. Holistic Directory 2020
