Stephen Brown’s Inspirational Japanese Acupuncture workshop
By Alan | November 23, 2009
Stephen Brown’s inspirational Japanese Acupuncture workshop is still fresh in my mind.
Stephen Brown demonstrates the Art of Traditional Japanese Acupuncture to a Captive Audience
The Walkabout Creek function center deep in the hills in pristine eucalyptus forest country northwest of Brisbane, a magical location discovered by eminent traditional acupuncturist/herbalist, East Asian medicine educator and now successful workshop convener, Greg Bantick was a superb venue for this groundbreaking Japanese Acupuncture workshop.
In conjunction with John Thompson, veteran Brisbane Traditional Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine practitioner, long time convener and supporter of Japanese acupuncture workshops in Australia, they persuaded the translator of Shudo Denmei’s beautiful books, Japanese Classical Acupuncture: Introduction to Meridian Therapy and Finding Effective Acupuncture Points
Mr. Stephen Brown presented a beautifully integrated Japanese Acupuncture workshop, effectively communicating with and demonstrating to a captivated audience including undergraduate students with absolutely no experience of Traditional Japanese Acupuncture and experienced practitioners of this highly refined East Asian medical art.
His eloquent treatments were absolute testimony to the fact that Stephen Brown walks the talk!
Using his vast shiatsu/bodywork experience in conjunction with Traditional Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion skills honed by more than 25 years of clinical practice, Stephen inspired us with beautifully crafted treatment demonstrations.
His obvious Japanese Acupuncture and moxibustion skills were complemented by extraordinary palpation skills, acute sensory awareness, tactile finesse and energetic empathy.

BIG gratitude to Stephen ‘The Liberator‘ Brown for taking the time and making the effort to come on down under to share his invaluable clinical acumen and unique insights into the practice of Traditional Japanese Acupuncture!

To Greg Bantick and John Thompson for putting their shoulder to the wheel and their heads on the block to make this watershed event in Traditional Japanese Acupuncture education down under a reality, our heartfelt thanks
Their effort and commitment to the development of our skill and understanding in the East Asian medical art/sciences of Traditional Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is truly inspirational.
All the best in life and practice,
Alan Jansson

Yes, that work shop was great. I have been reading Shudo sensei’s text books lately but it is sometimes really hard to picture how these techniques should be done. Brown sensei’s seminer involved a lot of demonstration and hands on practice. They gave me clear and deeper understanding of Meridian therapy. I really want to say thank to Brown sensei, Greg Bantic, John Thompson and everyone who were involved to this work shop.
