Event Details

SHORT DESCRIPTION:  An opportunity for participants to experience first-hand the healing of Chinese Medicine and Western massage, and to learn how to incorporate a different perspective on health and well-being in their daily lives.

DESCRIPTION:  A progressive series of six classes on massage and Chinese medicine techniques for addressing the following six common wellness challenges for men:


1. Chronic Pain (backpain, arthritis)
2. Men's Chronic Illnesses (Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, HIV, Suicide/Accidents/Depression)
3. Depression and Anxiety;
4. Addiction and Dependency;
5. Spiritual Growth (getting into your flow)
6. Acupuncture and Massage for Couples & to Promote Intimacy & Connection


No prior knowledge of Chinese Medicine is required.  Beginning with what is often the first thing that brings a person to an acupuncturist’s office – acute injury and chronic pain – we move on to see how healing progresses in layers, affecting our bodies and minds in unison, and ultimately leading to an understanding of acupuncture as a path to personal evolution and transformation.

GOALS:  Open up new perspectives, even for those already familiar with forms of alternative health care, on how to incorporate massage and acupuncture as part of self-nurturing and self-care.

ACTIVITIES:  ½ informal lecture, ½ demonstration of acupuncture treatments and simple massage techniques

BENEFITS:  Participants will get a basic understanding of the principle ideas behind Chinese Medicine, and experience first-hand how acupuncture can benefit their health.  They will also learn hands-on massage techniques to use on themselves as well as their partners.

INSTRUCTOR'S EXPERIENCE & CREDENTIALS:  Charles Grey, a licensed acupuncturist and licensed massage therapist, is a Graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York, licensed to practice acupuncture in Oregon, New York, and California, and licensed to practice massage in Oregon.  Also a certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist, trained at the Lincoln Recovery Center in the Bronx, NY.  Currently in private practice in Portland, Oregon.
